Rapper Jay Z and Major League Baseball are reportedly being sued by Iconix Brand Group for the use of the Roc Nation logo on apparel.

TMZ reported Monday that Iconix says it paid $204 million for the logo and can control when it appears on merchandise, including the MLB apparel it has recently graced. TMZ noted Iconix is suing Roc Nation, New Era, Lids and the San Francisco Giants in addition to the rapper and MLB.

Iconix will sue all of those parties "for at least $10 million and other damages," per TMZ.
