Future stands among several artists facing legal troubles from a Minnesota company for allegedly damaging and improperly using its trademarked luxury vehicle in a music video.

MIK Corporation filed a lawsuit against several rappers alleging the improper use a of their trademarked “Limo-Jet” in a music video, causing damage to the custom-made vehicle.

Future and Lebanese-Canadian singer Sari Abboud featured on Egyptian entertainer Mohammed Ramadan’s song “Arabi.”.

The suit, brought on by MIK Corporation, alleged the artists used it in the video without proper permission.

The trademarked car is a jet fuselage repurposed as a luxury limousine and can be seen being walked on by Mohammed Ramadan throughout the video.

The lawsuit includes claims of breach of contract, negligence, fraud, and misappropriation.

MIK, which owns the trademark for Limo-Jet and rents the vehicle for events, alleges that the rappers filmed the vehicle without proper consent despite earlier agreements preventing such usage.

According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, Ramadan and his associates first contacted MIK in April 2023, inquiring about possibly using the Limo-Jet at shows in California and Dubai.

Their discussions led to them visiting a Des Plaines, Illinois lot, where the Limo-Jet was stored.

Universal Music Group (UMG), a co-defendant in the lawsuit, recently moved to dismiss the case, citing a lack of personal jurisdiction in Illinois.

The court dismissed the claims against UMG, granting MIK an opportunity to amend its allegations before the December 15 deadline.
