“YUUUP” vs “YUUUP” – The Full Trey Songz Lawsuit

A variety of AllHipHop.com’s readers engaged in a heated debate regarding yesterday’s news about a lawsuit involving R&B singer Trey Songz.

Trey sent a cease and desist letter to David Hester of the reality TV series, “Storage Wars.”

It seems that Trey Songz felt that Hester’s use of the phrase “YUUUP” during the auction portion of the show, infringes upon his trademark call.

As a result, David Hester filed a full lawsuit against Trey, in order to continue to use the phrase.

Most of the comments pointed to the ridiculous nature of the lawsuit, while some defended Trey Songz.

You..can’t be serious..Is Trey really that hard out for some scrill? I mean..Storage Wars put me up on the auction game..Dave Hester’s YUUP is used by THOUSANDS of people who auction period..C’mon Son…that’s like Tony Yayo suing John Cena over the “you can’t see me” gesture….fail
IS HE SERIOUS? DOES HE KNOW OW LONG TREY SONGZ BEEN USING THAT. WAAAAAAAAAAAY BEFORE THE SHOW EVER AIRED…BETTER YET THOUGHT OF. DAVE HESTER PLS FIND SOMETHING ELSE BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME AND EFFORT…LIKE REALLY?????

Could there be more at stake with this lawsuit? Is it really frivolous?
