On the music front, she will be releasing a new album later this year, Life Love and Music. The album will follow-up her sophomore release, Lady Love and her hit debut album LeToya.

Lady Love drew commercial success when it was released in 2009. The album made news, peaking at number twelve on the US Billboard 200 and number one on the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Her freshman self-entitled album did even better, going platinum in 2006. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. She said the album featured her “so many things, so many emotions, so many ideas”.

“Durantula” is currently being used by Nike and Durant for basketball problems. But it’s also being used by Durante for guitars and music merchandise, Durante indicates in his lawsuit. Would that cause confusion among customers? Critics disagree. But the suit asserts confusion will erupt.

Existence of the Kevin Durant’s marks “confuses and misleads consumers looking for Durante’s DURANTULA products, music and merchandise”, claims the suit. “Due to a licensing and promotional campaign marketing which has flooded the marketplace with references to Kevin Durant as DURANTULA, Defendants have nearly consumed Plaintiff Mark Durante’s valuable, hard-earned identity which he has been cultivating and developing for nearly two decades,” the suit adds.

Durante has owned the website durantula.com for over a decade, obtained a trademark for Durantula in 1993, released two albums under the name, and has sold merchandise with the mark for two decade. He has played with the Waco Brothers, KMFDM and other Chicago bans. Kevin Durant has yet comment about the suit.
