Mo money, mo problems.
For a while, it appeared Kyle Cooke was riding high off the success of his brand new alcohol brand, Loverboy. Unfortunately, however, that all changed in September 2020 when the owner of Loverboy Bar in New York City, sued Cooke for trademark infringement.

Yikes.
Cooke, however, wasn’t willing to roll over and instead counterclaimed for “declarative relief” citing that his company had the right to use the name and pointed out that the bar’s cocktails were only marketed within New York City, whereas his beverages were marketed to a larger demographic. Fortunately, in February 2021, the case was settled and dropped and Cooke emerged victorious. Sadly, however, that wouldn’t be the end of Loverboy’s legal woes.
