Morris Day Claims the Prince Estate Barred Him From Using the Time Band Name,
Revealing Trademark Dispute
So there seems to be a disagreement with Morris Day & The Time and the Prince estate.
Morris day posted on IG “I’ve given 40 years of my life building up a name and legacy that Prince and I came up with. A name that while he was alive, he had no problem with me using. I literally put my blood, sweat, and tears into bringing value to that name. In fact, he booked me on several tours, and many jam packed nights at Paisley Park, under the name Morris Day & The Time. Not once ever saying to me that I couldn’t use that name configuration.
“However, now that Prince is no longer with us, suddenly, the people who control his multi million dollar estate want to rewrite history by taking my name away from me, thus impacting how I feed my family. So as of now, per the Prince Estate, [I] can no longer use Morris Day & The Time in any capacity.”
Well the Prince Estate has responded and they said in a statement they were surprised and disappointed to see his recent post,”
“The Estate is open to working proactively with Morris to resolve this matter. However, the information that he shared is not entirely accurate.”
We’ll see what happens next.
