James has a similar show on his multimedia platform called "Uninterrupted." That series called "The Shop" showing James and others talking at a barbershop.

According to a letter obtained by ESPN, a letter was sent to Alabama on behalf of James discussing their concerning over possible copyright infringement.

"Your continued exploitation of 'Shop Talk' infringes 'Uninterrupted's' copyright, trademark rights and other valuable intellectual property rights in 'The Shop' and significantly damages 'Uninterrupted's' commercial prospects for 'The Shop,'" the letter says.

No legal action has been taken, as the letter states that they would like to have talks with Alabama before any invite a conversation with Alabama before "rushing into legal proceedings."
