Tekashi 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, failed in his attempt to trademark his stage name. The “Dummy Boy” rapper and Warren Hamilton, an artist, are engaged in a legal dispute over the name, according to AllHipHop.com.
Hamilton claimed to have been going by the alias SIX9 since 2007 and sued Tekashi in July. According to lawyers, Tekashi has not yet responded to the ruling and the loss of the trademark.
