MTV Sues Over Nick Cannon’s New Rap Battle Show, Calling It ‘Blatant’ Copy Of ‘Wild ’N Out’
Nick Cannon’s new show "Bad vs. Wild" copies his long-running MTV series Wild ’N Out, a new lawsuit filed by Viacom says.
Over the years — the show has run for 21 seasons — it has boasted guests including Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky and Lil Wayne. The two names are “extremely similar”; the new logo “copies the look, typeface, and arrangement”; the format and stage design of the two shows are “nearly identical”; and, of course, they feature the same host. “Zeus — having previously violated exclusivity provisions when working with Viacom talent, and having knowledge of industry custom and practice — was aware that Mr. Cannon is under contract,” the company’s lawyers wrote.
