Kylie Minogue reveals REAL reason she blocked Kylie Jenner from trademarking their name & claims it ‘HAD to be done’

Kylie Minogue has revealed the REAL reason she blocked Kylie Jenner from trademarking their shared first name.

The singer has now claimed it “had to be done” after she won their legal battle with an opposing suit back in 2016.

Appearing on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, 54-year-old pop star Kylie revealed how she felt after emerging victorious from the trademark war.

Her legal team previously slammed the cosmetics entrepreneur as a “secondary reality TV personality” who appeared as “a supporting character” on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

But Kylie now claims: “It was just business.”

She added: “I’ve spent a lifetime building my brand and protecting my brand, so it had to be done!”

Kylie then high-fived 54-year-old host Andy as he agreed: “Yes!”

The Aussie hitmaker revealed that her moniker was a lot rarer when she first got her big break back in the 1980s.

“When I was named Kylie, I think I met one person older than me called Kylie,” she added. 

“So it’s kind of unusual.”

The Grammy award winner revealed that she didn’t have to contact the beauty mogul or her momager Kris Jenner, 66, but that she’d “love to meet them.”

However, she did hint at a potential settlement between her and the Jenners, saying “we came to an agreement.”

Last night’s appearance on WWHL is the first time Kylie has spoken publicly about the legal rift since a 2018 interview with Rolling Stone.

Back then, she made it clear that the blocking was “nothing personal” against the young KUWTK-alum.

She also distanced herself from the shady “secondary reality star” comment, insisting that it was one of her attorneys who had used the insult.

“That was just unfortunate that that is how those lawyers speak,” she said.

“So I genuinely hope that it’s understood: That certainly did not come from me.”
