Amber Rose has done a lot over the past two years to transition from being a famous hip-hop girlfriend and wife to becoming an independent superstar mogul. But for all that work she’s done, her name may literally be in jeopardy as reports have revealed that she’s facing a legal battle over the right to trademark the name Amber Rose.
According to media reports, Rose filed legal documents in court to trademark her name so that can be the sole person profiting from it. However, up-and-coming country singer Amber Rose Kelly has reportedly also filed trademark documents for the name and wants sole rights to it as well. Now, the two women are in a legal war over the rights.
The report claims that Kelly is intent on proving to the Trademark Office that she was famous years before Amber because she was already an award-nominated former child actor, singer, songwriter, recording artist, model and photographer.
Kelly is claiming that Rose only recently became popular and that her success boils down to nothing more than being a former stripper who likes being half-naked in public.
Kelly also claims that she was easily searchable on Google long before 2009, when Amber first rose to fame as the girlfriend of Kanye West.
However, Amber doesn’t agree. She’s claiming that she’s the only famous Amber Rose and that most people know nothing of a country singer named Amber Rose Kelly. Amber is also arguing that Amber Rose is her real name and that Kelly just wants to ride the wave of her name to a financial windfall.
Well, we have to be honest and admit that we hadn’t heard of Kelly until these reports came out, so we’d be shocked to see Amber lose this trademark battle. But we’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out.
