A federal judge added the owners of Rocawear to a lawsuit that originally claimed that the Def Jam CEO stole his trademark “dynasty” sign from Page. At the end of each wrestling match, Page would hold his hands in the air and form a diamond which he called the "Diamond Cutter". The sign is remarkable similar to the “dynasty” sign, which Jay makes by using his hands to form what appears to be a triangle. Page began using his sign in 1996, years before Jay-Z popularized the “dynasty” sign. Page has used the sign to promote DVDs and audiobooks. Jay-Z’s “dynasty” sign has become a staple of pop culture. Athletes are frequently seen throwing the "diamond up". Page says, however, that those people are co-opting his sign. Click here for more on this story.
