Last month TV producer Mona Scott Young announced that Xscape, minus LaTocha Scott, was headed out on tour with SWV [click here if you missed that].
Not if LaTocha has anything to do with it...
From Straight From The A
LaTocha Scott, through her attorney Leron E. Rogers, is claiming that Live Nation, Mona Scott Young’s Monami Entertainment Group are interfering with her rights as one half of the trademark owner of the Xscape brand.
The letter notes that Scott was completely blindsided by news that Xscape had signed a contract for a nationwide tour without her.
LaTocha was surprised to learn that Live Nation, whom XSCAPE has contracted to perform on numerous occasions, contracted with individuals and is publicly advertising the XSCAPE Mark to promote a live musical performance for a series of concerts during the Queens of R&B tour without LaTocha’s consent. In addition to failing to obtain consent, you have also failed to even reach out to LaTocha to agree on financial terms for use of the Mark as well as to discuss her performance.
She further notes that Mona Scott-Young is totally in on it, being that she (of all people) was well aware of the trademark situation being that LaTocha had to agree to its use in the past.
Monami Entertainment, whom it appears to be a co-promoter of the Queens of R&B Tour, has specific knowledge of LaTocha’s ownership and rights to the Mark because Monami Entertainment specifically obtained LaTocha’s consent to use the Mark for a television series produced by Monami Entertainment.
Also being as though Mona Scott-Young also served as Xscape’s management in the past, LaTocha feels the slight was intentional.
In addition, Mona Scott Young, the principal of Monami Entertainment, previously managed the music group XSCAPE. We can come to no other conclusion than to believe Ms. Young and Monami’s conduct to be intentional and with the specific intent to interfere with the rights of LaTocha.
LaTocha’s attorney’s are asking that Mona Scott-Young/Monami Entertainment contact them within (5) days to secure the proper licensing for use of the trademark (i.e. CUT THE CHECK).
For the record, the trademark was secured by Latocha and her sister Tameka Scott during the time period that Kandi Burruss was adamant about not rejoining the group. Since that time a whole lot has happened, however, it’s been made clear throughout the drama it was never Latocha’s intention to leave the group, only to take a break to pursue other interests.
On a related note, LaTocha also sent a similar letter to LIVE NATION
LaTocha was surprised to learn that Live Nation, whom XSCAPE has contracted to perform on numerous occasions, contracted with individuals and is publicly advertising the XSCAPE Mark to promote a live musical performance at Lovers & Friends’ May 4, 2024, festival in Las Vegas, NV without LaTocha’s consent. In addition to failing to obtain consent, you have also failed to even reach out to LaTocha to agree on financial terms for use of the Mark as well as to discuss her performance.

She's such an annoying punk bish. Always acting out because she wanted to be lead.
She had two decades to solo, gospel or whatever she wanted to do....but she waited till she finally was getting paid to sing again. I feel bad for Tocha cuz she broke but this is definitely all her own doing!
She is so annoying
This woman didn't want to be in the group. She had her own costume made to separate her look. She will never be satisfied with Xscape causing nothing but animosity among them.
The solo project was a flop so now she wants to come back.
Did she ever leave her cheating husband that was stealing money?
Kick rocks Sea Hag and live in your misery.
Here we go again...
Between Tocha and Monique, I don't know who is more determined to ruin their own career.
If ever there was proof of the saying: A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, here it is.
Them women tacky asf
Tocha just let her husband Rocky "It's Federal" Bivens ruin her career because she's so bitter anout him that she goes after others.
I think we all are forgetting when Kandi didn’t want to be part of the tour last time they had to tour under the name x3 or something like that when it was just tiny and Tamika and LaTocha they can’t tour under the xscape name if all the members are not present! Kandi pulled this move first so yall years ago
