Will.I.AM Sues Pharell Williams 'I Am' [PHOTOS]: Beef In Producer World Pharell Responds to 'Will Power' Claims, Pharell Says 'I Am Disappointed'

Will.i.am and Pharrell are beefing.  Will.i.am is taking legal action against Pharrell Williams over the latter's new creative brand "i am OTHER," according Rolling Stone.

Will.i.am claimed that he owns the copyright to the phrase "I AM" and that Pharrell's logo is "confusingly similar," Rolling Stone reported based on court documents.

Pharell appeared to be shocked by the fellow producers accusations.

 "I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me," Pharrell said in a statement to RS. "I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will's trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do."

Representatives for Will.i.am had not responded to a request for comment at press time.
