Real Housewives of Potomac cast members Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon have run into opposition from Detroit rapper Marshall "Eminem" Mathers while trying to trademark the name for their 'Reasonably Shady' podcast...
From Page Six
Eminem filed an opposition on Feb. 14 against Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon’s trademark application for “Reasonably Shady,” the name of their podcast, according to docs obtained by Page Six.
In the docs, the “Lose Yourself” rapper — whose real name is Marshall Mathers — says he believes his brand will be “damaged” if the “Real Housewives of Potomac” stars are issued the trademark for their broadcast.
He also said “Reasonably Shady” can “cause confusion in the minds of consumers,” who have known him by his monikers Slim Shady and Shady since the late ’90s.
Eminem, 50, has exclusively used the name “Slim Shady” and “Shady” for entertainment services since 1998 and owns the trademark for “Shady” to use on merch.
The ruling is pending.

Bruh. The word "shady" has been around for years. They aren't rappers. They aren't his colleagues. This is a real reach for him.
This is shady, Shady.
Did he go after TSR?
He didn't go after Prince when Prince was serving up shade and being known for it.
He needs to sue his barber stylist for using the wrong dye to color his beard that must be white up under.
Another example of YT appropriating culture and Black vernacular. We invented shady but he owns the trademark? That's just crazy to me.
Finish them!!!
What is really going on with Marshall Mathers? Why does always he look like an android with a lacefront beard?
My guess is Em didn't know and didn't care and wouldn't care if it wasn't for his daughter having a podcast using the title "a little bit shady." I'm pretty sure this all has to do with the family lawyer looking out for the daughter's interest
So he was able to trademark "Shady" but Cardi couldn't trademark Okuuuur? I don't care about to green eyed villains struggle.
Stop it Mr. Mathers...let them do their show...you do not own shady!
