n. no laughing matter

When family and business don’t mix.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pop star turned cosmetic magnate Rihanna is suing her pops for trademark infringement.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Papa Ronald Fenty set up an entertainment company under the name Fenty Entertainment in 2017.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
RiRi is alleging that her dad is profiting from the success of her beauty brand Fenty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s also claimed that Papa Fenty has been exploiting Rihanna’s name by misrepresenting himself as her representation to solicit some big dollars - he’s said to have accepted a US$15m concert deal without her authorisation.

Family fisticuffs in court it is.
