Fashion house Louis Vuitton is once again taking a swing at the music business. According to MTV.com, the fashion company has teamed up with fellow designer label Gucci to stop rapper T.I. from releasing his video for “Swing Ya Rag.”
The song features T.I. bragging about waving his Louis Vuitton and Gucci rags in the club.He says the video was shot weeks ago and that it, quote, “came out hot.” But the two companies called the rapper out for infringement “in one way or another.”
T.I. adds that he’s now focusing on a video for his recent number-one hit “Live Your Life” with RihannaEarlier this year, Louis Vuitton settled a lawsuit with Sony BMG over the use of their logo. At issue was an album cover for former “American Idol” winner Ruben Studdard, and a video for rapper Da Brat. Pop star Britney Spears was also mentioned in the suit for a video that featured the Louis Vuitton logo on the dashboard of her pink Hummer. A rep for Louis Vuitton said at the time, quote, “We don’t make dashboards.”
This is crazy to me it seems like he would bring more business? But on the other hand I understand they don't want this image for there brand. He calls it a Louie Rag when it really a scarf that' made for woman. What's next your "Man Purse up in the air"?? Read More (Click now)
