Rap Snacks is being sued over its Nicki Minaj-branded potato chips.
According to Reuters, Mattel Inc. filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court last week, alleging the popular snack brand infringed on its long-standing Barbie trademark. The toy-maker took issue with the company’s “Barbie-Que Honey Truffle” chips, which were introduced earlier this summer.
“The association is so evident that upon seeing the packaging, representatives for Defendant’s celebrity partner queried whether Rap Snacks had obtained permission from Mattel,” the complaint reads. “Indeed, Rap Snacks never requested or received any such permission.”
