DDP needs to sit his arse down somewhere. I am sure Soror Gina will be by directly to give her 13 cents on this matter.

Cosign on what Soror Carla said. DDP neesds to know that he can't stop The Dynasty!! Plus he should have sued like 6 years ago, when Jay first started using it. Go sit down somewhere with that bull.

Diamond Dallas Sues Jay-Z Over 'Diamond Cutter' Hand Sign
Former pro wrestler Diamond Dallas Page is suing Jay-Z, claiming the hip-hop heavyweight has illegally adopted his trademark hand gesture — the "Diamond Cutter" — as his own.

The suit, filed in Los Angeles Federal Court on Friday,
accuses Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records of trademark and copyright infringement as well as misappropriation of the hand symbol. Page is seeking an injunction (meaning Jay-Z would be prohibited from using the gesture) and unspecified monetary damages.

Page's lawyer, George Gallegos, said Diamond Dallas (born Page Falkinberg) brought the legal action against the Def Jam CEO in order to protect his livelihood.

Do they even look the same? I don't think so. Besides, how can someone copyright a handsign.

I saw this in this month's Essence
"Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page is suing Jay-Z for allegedly stealing his hand signal. The gesture is often linked to the rapper, but page says he's used it for ten years as a trademark of his wrestling personal But Diamond might want to step before Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. takes issue. Members have used a similar sign for several years".
