C+C Music Factory Co-Founder Threatens To Sue Freedom Williams For Using Group Name

C&C Music Factory co-founder Robert Clivillés has threatened to sue frontman Freedom Williams for using the group's name, even though he has not been in the group since 1994.

The '90s music group responsible for classic hip-house tracks like "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and "Things That Make You Go Hmmm…," have been back in the news lately for disreputable reasons. Last week, C+C were announced as part of the extremely '90s-heavy initial lineup for Donald Trump's Freedom 250 concert series, the Great American State Fair. While other acts dropped out, rapper Freedom Williams, who guested on some of C+C's biggest hits, defended his involvement in a saucy seven-minute rant filmed while he was on the toilet, essentially arguing that he needs the money and a gig's a gig. Williams acquired the legal rights to the C+C Music Factory trademark for live performances in 2003, and he controls the longstanding C+C Instagram account.

Now Clivillés has taken to Facebook to post the following:

Allegedly it has discussed that it’s time for the estate of David Cole and Robert Clivillés to Federally sue Freedom Williams https://www.facebook.com/share/18J1ctLiFE/?mibextid=wwXIfr for defamation of character and the mis-use of the C&C Music Factory that was created and represents the personal names of Clivilles & Cole with Racial Discriminatory,

Bigotry, Xenophobic, Prejudiced, Ethnic, racial discrimination and Hate speech.

It’s time for him to stop misrepresenting a name he never had any business trademarking in the first place.

In the meantime please share the new C&C Music Factory present Brennen Cole Video with everyone you know, here’s the link: https://youtu.be/9EwdMeZNA6E?is=99UhKUZk0nRgOW9a
