Eminem is getting litigious. The 50-year-old rapper filed an opposition against two stars of the Real Housewives of Potomac, Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon, after they filed to trademark the name of their podcast, Reasonably Shady.

He claims that he’s used “Shady” and “Slim Shady” since 1996, and owns the trademark for both to use on merch and his records. “The marks Slim Shady and Shady have become and are an extremely valuable symbol of Mathers, his reputation and goodwill,” the documents read.
