Diamond Dallas Page sues Jay-Z over pyramid sign

[thinkfast®]

Funny shit...

Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page has filed a lawsuit against Jay-Z for unlawful use of his "Diamond Cutter" hand signal.

Page, born Page Falkinburg, filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court, claiming he trademarked the rights to the diamond-shaped symbol in 1996 and has used it for wrestling and other entertainment ventures on multiple occasions.

Page contends that Jay-Z started using the diamond symbol years after on various commercial products, including the cover of Dynasty: Roc La Familia 2000 and Fade to Black.

Hip-hop fans are aware that the Def Jam President has used the diamond sign to signify his Roc-A-Fella Records dynasty.

According to Page, he introduced the "Diamond Cutter" symbol in 1996 on WCW's weekly Nitro and Thunder programs.

The wrestler, who uses the sign on the cover of his new book "Yoga for Regular Guys," also says he used the symbol on monthly PPV events, WCW live events, and media appearances, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Representatives for Jay-Z or Roc-A-Fella were not immediately available for comment.

ive noticed thiis awhile ago. i woundered how long it was gonna take some washed up trailer park piece of trash to sue over a hand signal. technically though there different right? jay Z does his with fingures together and ddp does his fingures splayed. i hope jayz wins and ddp doesnt get any cash for something he didnt ariginate anyway. you know whoever designed ddp charicter probably made the hand guesture also.

DDP is a freckled piece of white trash. He looks a lot like the typical redneck you'd find somewhere in Florida.

wow....what a battle

[thinkfast®]

I bet he'd lay a Diamond Cutter on Hov w/ a quickness.. then he'd get shot by Beans :lmao:

[ironchef]

How could you trademark a hand motion thats ridiculous, how could they even let him trademark that?

[PSINXS]

because it was a part of his likeness in the wcw. u can trademark characters and their likenesses.

[1000cckiller]

man that shit is whack so his ass is mad because his career is wahsed up and he neeeds money, when he threw that symbol up he made it look like shit when jay threw it up it looked gangsta

[CMO]

The funny part is the way Jay-z throws it up. Is the same way that the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority does it. And anyone that knows anything about Black Colleges know's that they have been throwing it up since the early 1900's.

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllll i met him at hartsfield years back, really nice dude, very down to earth.

I'm surprised this has taken so long. I remember the first time I saw Damion Dash put his "diamond in the sky" I was like, "Hey DDP!"
I wonder if he's gonna sue Emeril Lagasse next for the use of the word "BANG!" :D

(i used to watch waaaaaaay too much wrestling)

[4dmin]

well if its trademarked then he has claim to it... it wouldn't be the first time an artist has been sued for stealing trademark/copyright material...

but a Jay-Z vs. DDP match would be funny.... DDP would straight up beat his ass then walk all over him w/ his Air Force 1's - lol
