Atlanta GA rapper Young Jeezy recently revealed that he had to rename his clothing line U.S.D.A. (United Streets and Dopeboys of America) to 8732, at the behest of the United States government.
According to Young Jeezy, the government of the United States prevented him from using the U.S.D.A. acronym, which also stands for the United States Department of Agriculture.
"The government won't let me [name the clothing line] U.S.D.A.," Young Jeezy told AllHipHop.com. "[So] what I did was, you know back in the day, you know had those little pagers? We would page people numbers for letters. 8732 is U.S.D.A."
The rapper's first foray into the clothing world was a success, when his frowning "snowman" promotional T-shirt-shirt became one of the most bootlegged T-shirts-shirts of 2005-2006.
The shirt was banned from numerous school systems because of its alleged drug references.
Young Jeezy said the new 8732 line will feature a variety of urban wear.
"The jackets, the f****ng sweat tops, the Bronze jeans," Young Jeezy said. "The jeans run anywhere from $120, tops at $120, but you know it's some nice s**t man. I mean its all snowman."
The 8732 clothing line is slated to hit stores in late November.
In related news, Young Jeezy and R&B singer Akon are working on an album together, following their successful single "Soul Survivor," one of the rapper's biggest hits from his album Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101.
"I wanted to do a different look, so [when] me and Kon, get together, we always come up with a smash sound," Young Jeezy said of the new album. "[We said] 'what if we took our time and our energy and took a couple of months to actually make an album?' You know Kon is so big overseas. People don't know that."
No release date was available for the album.
Young Jeezy has also partnered with Atlanta-based mobile company Hi-Fli Tones to be the face of the company's new promotional campaign.

Kelis Surprises Nas With Star-Studded Birthday Party

"You are the last one [upholding Hip-Hop]," Dougie Fresh said prophetically to rapper Nas at a surprise birthday party last night in New York City's Canal Room. "We cancelled a [another] show to do this."
The rapper's wife, Kelis, planned and packed the Canal Room with a bevy of friends, fans, family and music industry insiders that partied to an old-school-themed evening of Hip-Hop.
Images of the Fat Boys, Eric B & Rakim, Michael Jackson and others lined the walls of the venue.
Dougie Fresh, along with partner-in-rhyme Slick Rick, headlined a star-studded party/performance event last night that celebrated the Queensbridge rapper's 33rd birthday.
The opinion of Fresh was echoed as many in the event sweated to the classic tunes of the 70's, 80's and 90's.
"I want yall to know, Nas got a very good heart and [is] very gifted," Dougie said towards the conclusion of an evening that carried into early morn.
Many of those that filled the Canal Room wore their old school paraphernalia like Cazals, fat laces, jean suits, gold "dookie" ropes and other items.
For others, accessories were given to them by Adidas, Kangol and faux gold bamboo earrings, which were popular with the b-girls of the 80's.
Those in attendance included DJ Premier, D-Nice, Grand Master Dee of Whodini, Kelis, Kanye West, Dana Dane, The Awesome Two, Questlove of The Roots, The Lox, Chill Will, the Bravehearts, Chamillionaire, Kwame, Jim Jones, DMC, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Nick Cannon, Floetry's Marcia Ambrosius and DJ Goldfinger on the turntables.
The event also attracted a number of non-musicians like basketball players Chris Webber and Carmelo Anthony, business mogul Steve Stoute, comic Tracy Morgan and host Katt "Money Mike" Williams.
In addition to the various appearances, Kelis arranged performances from rap icons like Bizzy Bee, Monie Love, Just Ice, Grand Master Melle Mel, Dana Dane and song diva Micki Howard, among others.
Surrounded by his crew, Nas reveled in the festive environment rapping the words of the songs and enjoying the performances of some his favorite childhood rappers.
Katt Williams and others such as Tracy Morgan provided creative banter throughout the evening.
"For my birthday party, I had Kriss Kross and Chuckii Booker," Williams joked. "Anybody worth being here is here. I could die right now, Jesus take me please."
Kelis may have topped her spouse's gift last month in terms of nostalgia.
Last month, Nas gathered about 100 of Kelis' friends and family to celebrate her 27th birthday in New York City.
He gave her a blue-grey GMC Denali with a vanity license plate that read "PWRMATRS2."
