JAY-Z is seeking to trademark Jaybo, the animated character who stars in the rapper’s “Story of O.J.” music video, according to documents obtained by the Daily News.

One trademark request also gives JAY-Z, 48, the exclusive rights to use Jaybo in films and television series.

“The Story of O.J.”, the first video released off JAY-Z’s 2017 album “4:44,” was released on July 5, one day before the initial trademark requests were filed on July 6.

JAY-Z’s move to trademark Jaybo gives the rap mogul a rare opportunity to reappropriate and profit off a historically racist character.

Jaybo is a play on “Sambo,” which originates from the 1899 children’s book “The Story of Little Black Sambo,” which has widely been derided as racist.

It also affords JAY-Z a new revenue stream after it was reported in December that his music streaming service, Tidal, was losing tens of millions of dollars per year and could run out of cash in months.

“Story of O.J.” is nominated for three Grammy Awards later this month — Record of the Year, Best Rap Song and Best Music Video — in addition to JAY-Z’s five other nominations.

JAY-Z’s eight nominations makes him tied with Stevie Wonder as third most-nominated artist in Grammys history.

The clip is heavy on the vibe of confession and repentance, where Jay-Z winds up in a confession booth with Beyoncé – in a very powerful, matriarchal black dress – seated beyond the partition, where the priest typically sits and forgives the deepest of sins.

Flicking between Jay-Z walking hand-in-hand with daughter Blue-Ivy through an elaborate church and steamy scenes of someone who looks a lot like a young Jay-Z doing the dirty with someone who definitely isn’t a Beyoncé body double (Becky, is that you?), it looks like the full video will be played out like a plea for Bey to forgive Jay-Z for his history of cheating.

The full clip is out of Tidal on the 29th in the States (so the 30th for us future-dwellers), so we might be able to see it in the rest of the internet sometime in 2018 I guess.

Peep the teaser below and try to tell me that Bey isn’t heaving sobs in the confessional right at the end there.
