Okurrr! Cardi moves to legally own the catch phrase

Award-winning rapper Cardi B is now moving to the courts to trademark her catch phrase ‘okurrr’.

She clearly had everyone on a fever to use the phrase, which can be traced back to the ‘Please Me’ hit maker.

According to online records, a filing was submitted under her company, Washpoppin, Inc. on March 11th 2019.

Cardi B intends to trademark the phrase for mostly paper goods, especially paper cups, and posters.

On Feb. 25, she filed another trademark for “Okurr” with one less “r” for “clothing like T-shirts, sweatshirts, hooded sweatshirts and pants.

According to Cardi, the phrase is “almost like, ‘OK’ but the ‘okayyyy’ is played out” with an extended series of rolled Rs.

Last year, she described it as sounding like a “cold pigeon in New York City”.

It can be used as a simple affirmation or, with a change of inflection, as a comeback to someone who’s in desperate need of criticism.

Cardi’s trademark application helpfully clarified that “Okurrr” is correctly spelled with three Rs.

But she also made sure to submit an alternative spelling, using two Rs, to combat knock-off merchandise.
