I guess nigga lol

Either way, don’t say you are going to do something and don’t do it is my takeaway here. All that crying and s*** is what it is. I get it, but aye man.

Facts. Just goes against the spirit of hiphop to go after a young artist like this. He probably only agreed initially out of respect for them being legends and thought hey were acting in good faith.

I don’t blame for reneging. Suing him so he has to send all the money he ever made under that name is scummy as f***

Except that's exactly how they are moving lmao

Yeah on a grand scale of problematic artist behavior this is pretty low but I still think it's understandable to feel a way

Apparently he reneged after submitting two other name changes that they declined.

At that point I don't blame him for going ghost on them because they're just being difficult as hell.

Imagine having a discussions for a year to change the name, then being ignored and put away.

Yeah, I don’t blame them in this case.

They tried the more cordial way of things.

Now they playin dirty

Can you send proof of these two times? And the names he went with?

So he actually tried to work with them and they made it difficult? Man f*** them niggas what we doing here

I gotta tell ya, I did not expect you of all people to be going up for artists tryna come for an underground artist, take his money, and force him to destroy ten years worth of product and music under his name he built for himself...

Better not ever see you complain if Pharrell ever decides to come after you with a bogus trademark claim for the "Skateboard Kee" s*** you post online lmao

I can see how it looks that way but remember we have only heard one side of that alleged "discussion" and it came through lawyers in a suit. Ovrkast hasn't actually spoken about what those "discussions" were like and I think his opinion would be valuable here (because realistically the truth will be somewhere in between lol). Also could imagine public opinion shifting when we learn which names Outkast's team was rejecting for Ovrkast to use

And I changed it to “Kee” afterwards.

What do you expect me to do?

Not be a b**** and stand up for yourself when you know you are not ripping off somebody...?

I doubt Pharrell will go that route first, but if he does, I don’t mind changing it to just Kee afterwards, because the name is “Sk8brd Kee” part is just going to route everything towards me and my stuff.

After I gain my attention, I’m Gucci

If Youngboy had his early success as NBA Youngboy.

I’ll have my early success as Sk8brd Kee

some suit is suing ovrkast, im looking at them differently for not stepping in

So this is the part of the agreement that was made verbally between both of their legal representation.

At some point after this "verbal agreement", I'm assuming Ovrkast declined the new name that Outkast and his legal representation came up with, and he submitted the spelling changes "Ovrcast" and "Overcxst". For some reason though, possibly because it was beyond the deadline, the new spelling changes were declined by Outkast's legal representation.

This was a post from Ovrkast himself before it was deleted likely at the request of his legal representation.

You can find info regarding the his other name submissions in this article

The lawsuit claims the deadline for the name change was postponed to July 15, 2026, but that Wilson decided to “renege” on the negotiated agreement and suggest alternate names that had previously been rejected by the plaintiffs.

He was still trying to cooperate, but Outkast and their team weren't, so he basically ghosted them and continued going by "Ovrkast" cause, let's be frank, them niggas were being difficult af.

why is this always the take?

you realize you don’t have to be 100% in favor of or against really anything right?

The "K" isn't even the problem because Outkast and their legal team themselves came up with a name change "Overkxst" that still had the "K" replace the "C". This was the verbal agreement that was reached between Outkast and Ovrkast's legal representation. Because Ovrkast didn't officially sign any agreement to that however, he submitted "Overcxst" and "Ovrcxst" as the new names. Outkast's declined both of those changes for some reason despite them removing even more confusion between the two. My guess is because it was beyond the deadline, but I feel if the name changes were different enough, what is the issue? He was clearly cooperating.

I think it's very safe to say that Outkast's side is just being difficult to cooperate with at this point. This ain't about name/spelling changes anymore, and is really just them abusing trademark rights on a small name artist. Which is why I have no idea why anybody is still caping for them on this matter.

They had the nigga agree with changing his name...he submitted two different options on a name change that were better than what they came up with...and they declined it. What is he supposed to do at that point?

Common used to go by Common Sense but had to take the sense out because of a lawsuit actually

It’s whack but doesn’t really change much. I’ve become more of a “just enjoy the music for what it is” person over the last few years and it’s much more rewarding than personally getting invested in s*** that has nothing to do with me

One of their asks in the lawsuit of all his profits under ovrkast name.

Big boi posts AI and follows maga accounts on ig

They are bro.

@Sk8brdKee

It’s just really crazy because of a couple placements out of that whole introspective rapper scene, Ovrkast is the one that is blowing up lol.

You really dont know where s*** will go. I’m the nigga that remember when Face music video came out.

if it was beyond the deadline then aye man
