'Soulja Boy' Being Sued By 'Souljah Boy'

Hip-Hop/Rapper Soulja Boy is being sued by another obscure rapper that goes by the name of Souljah Boy. He claims that he had coined the name before Soulja Boy came around. His legal reps sent this message to Soulja Boy;

“I am writing on behalf of the law firm of Alexander, Odunze & Kang LLP to give you a heads up re: the attached complaint, which was filed in federal court this afternoon on behalf of Willie Lyons p/k/a Souljah Boy. By way of background (and as you may already know), Mr. Lyons, known in commerce as Souljah Boy for over twelve years, is suing artist Soulja Boy (birth name: DeAndre Way), his record label, attorney & manager in connection with his blatant infringement of Mr. Lyons’ trademark.”

If you are going to steal someone’s stage name why not pick a better one? Sorry, I don’t like the name and I’m sure Soulja Boy most likely doesn’t think the name is worth millions of dollars in an out of court settlement.
