LaTocha Scott tried to shut down The Queens of R&B Tour featuring SWV and Xscape by claiming unauthorized use of the group’s trademark.
LaTocha, who has severed her relationship with the group, including her sister, Tamika Scott, is not a part of the forthcoming tour.
However, LaTocha Scott had a law firm fire off a legal notice to Live Nation Entertainment and Monami Entertainment (Mona Scott Young) claiming they did not get her consent nor did they agree upon the financial terms for the use of the mark or to discuss her performance.
Performance? Baby, you were not invited.
Tamika Scott took to the streets of Instagram on Friday to confirm the tour is still on regarding of the outside foolishness and rumors.
Despite All The Rumors, Xscape 👑 SWV The Queens Of R&B Tour Is Definitely Still On!!

The Xscape singer also offered a quick crash course in trademarks.
A co-owner of a trademark is unable to maintain an infringement action against another co-owner of the same trademark.
Each co-owner has the right to exercise its trademark rights, including granting licenses to third parties (i.e. Live Nation and Monami Entertainment).
“A valid licensee of one co-owner of a trademark cannot be liable to another co-owner for infringement.”
LaTocha Scott’s attorney didn’t know this before sending those people that letter?!
Kandi Burruss commented on Tamika’s post writing, “It’s up & stuck! 😉”
See the original post below.
One commenter wrote, “Y’all been touring without Latocha using the name Xscape so why is it an issue now. Sis must’ve wanted to be on that tour lol 😂”
Someone else commented, “This what happens when that pride get in between the bag and business. Smelt herself outta position.”
Did LaTocha Scott return the money she allegedly took from Tamika Scott?
The Queens of R&B Tour: Xscape & SWV kicks off on June 27 in Concord, California, and wraps on August 18 in Los Angeles.
