Back in 2009, Gold Medal swimmer Ryan Lochte openly admitted that he jacked the word "Jeah" from rapper Young Jeezy who frequently screams it on his records. Now he's trying to trademark the term (which is a spin-off from the "Chea" pronunciation that the Atlanta rapper uses).
Lochte wants to put the phrase on different merchandise, such as t-shirts and sunglasses, and have it next to his nickname "Reezy". He's looking to improve on and take advantage of the recent success he came upon after dominating in the London Games.
Check out an image of what he has his mind for a potential clothing line and let us know what you think of his endeavor.

legend? hell no and i fux wit jeezy but the term legend is a class jeezy won't be in, in no way has he chnaged hip hop or rap. When i hear legend, i think of rakim, krs one, nas, ice cube, tupac,, outkast, snoop, ll cool j,dr. dre, i could go on but jeezy is not in the same class of those guys and never will be. and to BNO, i don't care if all his albums go double platinum, he still won't be considered a legend

You're dumb as hell. You need to read that again. When you admit to "jacking" something you don't think you made nothing.
