Rapper Lil Jon has threatened to sue a store owner for selling a hip flask emblazoned with his song title Turn Down For What.The Get Low star´s lawyers sent a cease and desist letter to the owners of Blue & Cream in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York to ask them to stop selling the flasks, which bear the name of his 2013 hit track, unless they strike up a licensing deal, which would give Lil Jon 40 per cent of the future profits.
Owner Jeffrey Goldstein told the New York Post gossip column Page Six that he didn´t intend to cause a problem and will stop selling the product immediately.
"The flask was inspired by the song’s party theme," he said. "This is likely a case of a third party trying to bully us, but the right thing to do is to stop selling the flask. It was all in good fun; it wasn’t meant to cause an international incident."
