She paid $225 for name that's not even associated with her as a brand, if she the artist isn't the first person you think of when you think of "stay woke" or even the 30th, she's gonna get no money from that, her twitter handle for her website was already gone so if she wants it she'll have to pay for that, there's already a big cartel site with her name so she'd have to pay for that if she wants it, her website is trash, the phrase has lasting power in language by low lasting power in clothing, she doesn't have mass distribution, her clothing line is trash, and being a subpar broke rapper she doesn't have the lasting power to pay a lawyer whenever someone uses the word on clothing.

Add that on to the proliferation of one offs like zazzle, the t shirt man in the parking lot, design by humans ... etc etc. She paid a small amount of money that she can hopefully net $1000 for, but when you think of the lawyer fees she's already paid she's going to end up owing.

So good luck to her.

As far as Trump, he's a shitty business man that licenses his name to shitty products and launders money. I'd rather our creatives not get involved with that. Trump steaks, vodka, airlines, hotels, casinos, school ... all scams. Part of the reason his administration is so corrupt is because they're all actually broke, they need the money to stay afloat. Kushner is like a couple billion in debt.


A bad idea is a bad idea, and just because some white people do it, doesn't mean we should emulate.
