\nA judge has reportedly dismissed\u00a0Ice Cube\u2019s lawsuit against the popular trading app<\/a> Robinhood based on lack of standing. The N.W.A pioneer sued the company\u00a0in March for allegedly using his likeness without permission for a marketing campaign.<\/p>\n

The ad arrived in a Robinhood news<\/a>letter featuring Cube\u2019s face and a play on his infamous \u201cCheck Yo\u2019 Self\u201d line in the caption \u2014 \u201cCorrect Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself\u201d \u2014 to endorse their new\u00a0Snacks brand.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

In the filing suit, Cube cited analogous cases such as the 1992 9th Circuit case,\u00a0Waits v. Frito-Lay, <\/em>claiming the use of\u00a0Ice Cube\u2019s \u201cdistinctive\u201d identity and celebrity status implied his endorsement of Robinhood. He argued the unauthorized endorsement constituted an economic injury.<\/p>\n

But according to Arent Fox,<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>the court\u00a0agreed with Robinhood\u2019s legal team and determined Ice Cube \u201cdid not allege how Robinhood\u2019s use of his identity created the [misperception] that Ice Cube sponsored, endorsed, or is affiliated with Robinhood,\u201d even though he sufficiently pleaded his celebrity status and economic injury.<\/p>\n

The court added\u00a0Robinhood\u2019s uses of Ice Cube\u2019s image and catchphrase served only as an \u201cillustration of an article about market corrections\u2026[and did] not suggest [Ice Cube] endorsed Robinhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the original legal documents, Ice Cube reportedly said Robinhood is the \u201cantithesis of everything he stands for\u201d and referred to their products and services as \u201chorrible.\u201d Cube also suggested Robinhood has an issue with his business partner Jeff Kwatinetz who also has an impending lawsuit against the company and this is their way of antagonizing Kwatinetz.<\/p>\n

But Robinhood denied they did anything illegal, saying at the time, \u201cNo, we didn\u2019t use his image without permission. The image was licensed and used for non-commercial, editorial purposes in connection with a blog article.\u201d<\/p>\n

A source reportedly close to Ice Cube fired back, \u201cThis is Robinhood exhibiting lack of respect for the law or the people they hurt. Ice Cube did not license his image nor his lyrics printed next to his picture and would never endorse Robinhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen asked to take it down because he was offended, Robinhood refused. In addition, calling blatant propaganda for Robinhood\u2019s trading app and online services merely \u2018editorial use\u2019 shows someone needs to send their lawyer back to school.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
