According to reports, Pepe Jeans London LLC has slapped Master P and Wal-Mart with a trademark infringement lawsuit.

WDD Business is reporting that Pepe Jeans claims Master P and Wal-Mart
are using their logo, a stylized P, for the rapper turned business
mogul's clothing line.

P made history earlier this year when he re-launched his P.Miller
clothing line exclusively through Wal-Mart. He is the chain store's
first African American hip-hop supplier.

"This is the makings of a great partnership with the number-one
retailer in the world," P said at the time. "Wal-Mart is making a lot
of opportunities available to minority-owned companies that are ready
to do business with a big corporation. Together we're making it cool to
shop for clothes at Wal-Mart."

But Pepe is trying to put a stop to the brand and is seeking an
injunction against the use of the logo, all profits and damages that
ensued from infringing activities, legal fees, and unspecified damages.

At press time, Master P's camp was not available for comment on the issue.
