Eminem filed an opposition against Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon for using 'Shady' in podcast title

Please give Eminem your full attention. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the Grammy-winning musician last week filed an opposition against Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon's trademark application for the name of their podcast Reasonably Shady. According to the documents, the 50-year-old rapper stated that he thought the trademark would hurt his reputation and confuse fans who were familiar with him under the names Slim Shady and Shady. Additionally, Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) claimed he has exclusively used the terms "Shady" and "Slim Shady" since 1996. He also owns the trademark to be used on his records and merchandise. The document read, "The marks Slim Shady and Shady have become and are an extremely valuable symbol of Mathers, his reputation, and goodwill."

The podcast was started in 2021 by the reality stars.

He went on, "Secondly, I almost died from an overdose in 2007, which kind of sucked.

He also indicated a desire for the show to introduce a new audience to Eminem's story.
