She says Sherrika has effectively abandoned Lil Herbie by not using the trademark for a while, so Ms. Rachel's team says it should be canceled to clear the way for her Herbie trademarks.
For her part, Sherrika has fired back, saying she hasn't abandoned the trademark for Lil Herbie and doesn't want it canceled.
