American singer “The Weeknd” will be suing Nigerian singer “wizkid” and any other artistes that tries to Trademark “Starboy”.
According
To The Weekend: He wants people to know that he is the real and only
“Starboy.” And his lawyers are ready to take on any imposters.
TMZ also
reports that the Canadian singer’s lawyers filed documentation
against Eymun Talasazan, a realtor. Talasazan filed to trademark
“Starboy” for his own creative projects long after the Weekend’s album
and hit song of the same name.
According to TMZ, the musician’s
legal team found Talasazan was up to other shady copyright business. He
previously filed to trademark Straight Outta Bombton” and “Runnin’
Through the 6.” Such details reveal one thing: he’s mostly likely in it
for the money.
“Starboy” reached number one on the Billboard Hot
100 chart after spending eight consecutive weeks in the slot for number
two, Billboard reports. Additionally, “Starboy” is the Weeknd’s third
song to reach number one on the chart. It was Daft Punk’s first-ever
time holding the number one slot on the chart.
