Montero Lamar Hill, known by his stage name Lil Nas X, is finding himself in some hot water after Nike decided to sue him over his new shoes for trademark infringement. In a lawsuit filed Monday, Nike has accused MSCHF Product Studio, Inc of trademark infringement over their 666 pairs of modified Nike sneakers.
MSCHF has not made any statements concerning the lawsuit.
“In its complaint, Nike (NKE) asked the court to order MSCHF to “permanently stop” fulfilling orders for the “unauthorized” Lil Nas X Satan Shoes. The lawsuit notes that social media users have threatened to boycott Nike over the controversial shoes.”
However, Lil Nas X is finding time to make jokes on Twitter.

Lil Nas X Jokes On Twitter About Nike Suing Over His New Shoes
On Twitter, Lil Nas X shared a GIF of Squidward from ‘Spongebob Squarepants’ in a box, looking dirty and asking for money, saying, “me after the nike lawsuit”.
People commented on the tweet saying, “gonna have to drop another old town road remix”, “1) Lil Nas X isn’t being sued. 2) This lawsuit has nothing to do with Religion or Child Labor! 3) It has EVERYTHING to do with trademark infringement & damage to the Nike brand image, which they’ve spent decades building. Don’t get confused by all the noise. MSCHF screwed up.”, and “I speak for everyone when i say U should retire from Music”.
There are a ton of mixed responses, and you can tell who his fans are and which people are just there to mock or tease him.
We’ll have to wait for the lawsuit to be settled before we find out who was in the wrong, and if Nas X had permission or not. It sounds like it could almost go either way at this point.
