Will.i.am is continually on the downfall as it appears that he is suing Pharrell Williams over the use of the phrase “I am.” Pharrell recently set up “i am OTHER” which allows artists to promote their individuality online. Here will.i.am is claiming that “i am OTHER” is very similar to his iPhone camera app called “i.am+.”
“I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me. I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will’s trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do.” said Pharrell Williams.
Edit: While Pharrell made this statement on the Rolling Stone, will.i.am denies any such thing. Here will.i.am says “i.am not suing @Pharrell & I NEVER WAS.”
