Nelly has been hit with a lawsuit due to a dispute
over the name of his clothing line, Vokal.
Two members of musical group Vokal care suing
for trademark infringement and unfair competition.
James Tyrone Wilson and Cameron Caines are seeking
millions of dollars in damage and an injunction to prevent the singer from using
the name.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court
in Orlando and maintains that the two men obtained the rights to the Vokal name
when they signed a record contract with Universal in 1998.
Vokal raked in over $20 million dollars in 2002
and a lawyer for the group estimates that a damage award could be well into
eight figures.
