Lil Wayne Says Yankees Sent Him Cease And Desist Over The Young Money Logo

Lil Wayne was once forced to redesign the Young Money logo because of the New York Yankees with Craig Carton on The Joint Venture Show, Wayne recalled having the Young Money logo on his door, which clearly indicated who lived on that floor. “Was the Young Money door one of the dumb expenses you had when you were 19?” Carton asked. Wayne revealed the door was a gift, adding, “Before the Yankees sued me.” The rapper said the Yankees believed his label’s “YM” logo “looked too much” like the interlocking “NY” logo that appears on the team’s hat and home jersey. “They just sent me a cease and desist,” Wayne clarified. “And I had to stop using it…I just changed my logo.” Looking back, Wayne said he respected the Yankees taking legal action against him. “I felt more cooler getting a letter from the Yankees,” he added.“They just sent me a cease and desist,” Wayne clarified. “And I had to stop using it…I just changed my logo.” Looking back, Wayne said he respected the Yankees taking legal action against him. “I felt more cooler getting a letter from the Yankees,” he added.
