When you think of Rolls-Royce, persistent images of luxury, sophistication and wealth usually permeate the mind. The English automotive power is starkly aware of this, that’s why when the infamous brand caught wind that an Atlanta rapper was making profit off of their ubiquitous logo design, their response was not amicable. Royce Rizzy, formerly known as Rolls Royce Rizzy, has been charged with copyright infringement on account of old tour merchandise which appropriates the ‘Double R’ logo.
