50 Sues Taco Bell

The Rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, sued Taco Bell Wednesday claiming the food chain was “diluting the value of his good name” and employing a guerrilla advertising campaign to fool consumers into thinking he had endorsed the chain, according to case documents.
Also, as stated in those documents, “Without seeking or obtaining Jackson’s authorization, defendant Taco Bell made him the star and focus of its nation-wide advertising campaign by using his name, persona and trademark to promote Taco Bell’s business and products.”
A spokesperson for Yum! Brands, which operates Taco Bell have yet to respond to the allegations. We’ll see how this unfolds in the future weeks to come.
