Restaurant Chain Benihana Has Beef With Rapper Benny Hunna

"My name is my name." It's not only a quote from Marlo in the popular TV show The Wire about the importance of one's reputation. It's a credo major corporations live by. Too bad for rapper Benny Hunna who is reportedly being blocked from using his stage name by upscale restaurant chain Benihana, according to TMZ. The reports states, Hunna, an MC from Mississippi, has been trying to get his rap moniker trademarked for a while but has run into roadblocks. Namely, Benihana who doesn't like the idea of the similarity. According to documents, the eating establishment doesn't want the U.S. Patent & Trademark office to accept his application fearing the name might cause confusion in the marketplace. But it doesn't appear Hunna is willing to give up without a fight. The case could be settled in court sometime next year.
