(EXCLUSIVE) Blackstreet Singer Teddy Riley Demands Restraining Order Against Ex-Member, Chauncey Hannibal

the trademark expiring and when confronted he told him he would add him to the registration. Riley says he paid Hannibal $90k to be added but his former band mate never did.

Riley also accused Hannibal of using the bands profits to pay off tax debt and child support without telling him. He filed suit demanding he be added to the trademark and also damages for what Hannibal did.

Then according to recently filed court docs in the case, Riley says Hannibal is screwing up his concert deals by not adding him to the trademark. He says that he was in negotiations to perform on the Tom Joyner Cruise ship but they told him they cannot finalize the deal due to Hannibal owning the band name. Further, he says Hannibal sent a cease & desist to the cruise ship warning them not to allow Riley to perform under the name “Blackstreet”.

Riley says that due to Hannibal’s actions he is not able to put together a new line up for Blackstreet or enter into any contracts. Further, he says that if he is not granted a temporary restraining order against his ex-mate that the Blackstreet brand will die and will no longer be worth anything.

Riley is demanding the court slap Hannibal with a restraining order and allow him to use the Blackstreet name until the court makes a final decision on the trademark. See the exclusive court docs.
