ALLDAY PROJECT threatened with 'greatest legal battle' by Australian rapper within week of group's debut, know why
Australian rapper and singer Allday (real name Tomas Henry Gaynor) probed a court battle against THE BLACK LABEL's newly-formed co-ed group ALLDAY PROJECT, as reported by media outlet The Music. The reason for the same was his claims of having a trademark to the name Allday and the K-pop group's usage of it was not legally permissible. He also criticised K-pop songs and revealed how the entire situation was affecting him. What is the Allday vs ALLDAY PROJECT issue all about? Rapper Allday dropped a bombshell on Facebook, stating, "People keep asking me about this..... I have a trademark on the name Allday. Maybe I don't have 20 billion streams like that kpop sh*t which mostly sucks by the way. But I do exist and own the trademark to my name." He claimed to own all rights to the name and would not allow its usage by any other artists. Allday registered his trademark in Australia back in June 2021, covering all the bases– digital music, recordings, vinyl, merchandise, live gigs, music videos and more. He also got his trademark registered in the US. He aimed a bold warning at THE BLACK LABEL's K-pop group, declaring, "Prepare for the greatest legal battle of all time." Following that, K-pop fans started flooding his socials to call him out. The Australian artist shared on Instagram that the amount of hate he was receiving and totally unexpected and disheartening. The backlash is real, but Allday seems to be staying firm on this one. Probable outcome of Allday suing ALLDAY PROJECT over name trademark In case Allday moves forward with the name trademark suit, his winning chances in court might be difficult since ALLDAY PROJECT's name is distinct. Additionally, the fact that both parties are in a different genre (K-pop vs. rap) will also influence the case. Taking the fight to South Korea or other countries will also make matters more complicated without international trademark registration. Moreover, K-pop groups like ALLDAY PROJECT might have their own legal safeguards. Thus, the outcome of a legal dispute between such a diverse set of artists is uncertain, particularly due to the case's cross-border nature.

Allday vs ALLDAY PROJECT? Aussie rapper threatens 'major legal battle' against K-pop's new co-ed group; receives hate
Co-ed K-pop group ALLDAY PROJECT is once again embroiled in controversy—this time, just days after their official debut on June 23, 2025. The group is drawing attention due to a potential legal battle with Australian rapper Allday, who claims ownership of the trademark for the name. The situation erupted after Allday shared a screenshot of an article featuring ALLDAY PROJECT on his Instagram. In the caption, he expressed clear frustration over the group's use of a name similar to his and announced his intent to take legal action.

He also posted the update on Facebook, writing: "People keep asking me about this… I have a trademark on the name Allday. Maybe I don't have 20 billion streams like that K-pop shit—which mostly sucks, by the way. But I do exist and own the trademark to my name. Prepare for the greatest legal battle of all time." Fans react to legal threats His remarks quickly ignited discussion online. K-pop fans had varied reactions - some dismissed the post as petty or bitter, especially due to the tone and generalization of K-pop music. Others argued that, despite his delivery, the rapper may have valid legal concerns depending on trademark laws and market overlap. Meanwhile, some fans pointed out the powerful backing behind ALLDAY PROJECT, including the involvement of the Shinsegae heiress, suggesting that the legal challenge may not go far. Memes and sarcastic comments also flooded social media, with fans daring him to "try his luck." One fan remarked, "Yeah go against one of the heir of Samsung and a sub label from one of the biggest money maker ever yeah... try it." Another chimed in, "They aren't called 'all day' they're called all day project…" Someone else wrote, "Sounds kinda but hurt, but whatever. If he has the trademark then the judges have to decide if ALLDAY PROJECT is different enough of a name. Making such a grand announcement is cringe to me." Yet another added, "I would've cared more if he didn't talk like a frustrated 13 yo." Allday receives hate While K-pop fans had numerous opinions, it seems some went to the rapper's Instagram to spread hate comments. The Aussie shared a screenshot on his Insta story and wrote, "Getting so much hate for this...I didn't realise how many people grew with lead in their drinking water." A new challenge for a rookie group ALLDAY PROJECT has been dealing with its fair share of controversies, and this latest issue only adds fuel to the fire. While it's uncertain whether legal action will actually materialize, the rapper's comments have stirred international interest and reignited conversation around the group's turbulent debut. Despite the noise, fans remain eager to see how ALLDAY PROJECT navigates its early days - and whether this name dispute will escalate or quietly fade away.

Pensioner put into coma after being hit by e-bike calls for crackdown
Speaking from his home in Middlesbrough, the man said: 'The sale of these illegal off-road bikes should be controlled. They should only be sold to people with full driving licences who have shown they can obey the rules of the road. 'I had sat down at the bus stop for a breather. But when I got up again I stepped out onto the pavement and the bike hit me. Because it's electric, I couldn't hear it coming.' His injuries mean he now struggles to wash himself and cannot look after his grandson. He told the court: 'Now I struggle to lift my right arm and find everyday tasks, such as washing myself, difficult. I'm hypersensitive if I go out, particularly if I see a bike. I have been advised it will take me 18 months to properly recover. 'I'm angry he was on the bike on the pavement. He acted in an entitled manner. I hope no other person has to go through the trauma I have been through.' Allday, from Guisborough, pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He was disqualified from driving on a public road for two-and-a-half-years, and must pass an extended driving test before he is allowed back on the roads. Sentencing him, Judge Richard Bennett said the electric bike was not 'road legal' and should not have been on either the road or pavement. Speed restrictions Seizures by the police of illegally modified e-bikes almost doubled last year, amid concerns their speed and weight present a lethal threat to pedestrians. Under existing laws, an e-bike must have a motor with no more than 250 watts of power, restricted to speeds below 15.5mph. They must also require the rider to pedal – as opposed to being operated by an accelerator button on the handles. Police have caught a string of people using illegal e-bikes on motorways, while motorcycle manufacturers complain they are also being adopted by food delivery riders to race around towns and cities. The pensioner added: 'The police can't follow people on these powerful e-bikes, no matter what laws are passed. 'I see them travelling at speed all the time around here. Some lads are even on quad bikes.'
