Back in October of 2018, 6ix9ine began legal proceedings to get Rodgers and Foster’s rights to use “Tekashi69” trademark revoked, with his attorney, William Samuels, arguing in a “Petition for Cancellation” that P and Chad had never used the mark. He also argued that 6ix9ine had right to it because it had: “Been continuously and extensively used, advertised and promoted nationwide and internationally for more than 4 years, in connection with various of Mr. Hernandez’s entertainment-related goods and services. […] Mr. Hernandez has sold more than 4 million records in the U.S. and worldwide under the 6ix9ine Marks. His collaboration with culturally significant artists and musical acts, including Nicky [sic] Minaj, Kanye West, and the recording artist known as 50 Cent, demonstrates and confirms Mr. Hernandez’s fame and success.”
