Blink-182 and Plus 44 drummer Travis Barker has reportedly filed suit against Rockstar Beverages and their product, Rockstar Energy Drink.

According to the suit, the Rockstar Web site published a photo of Barker “holding a can of one of Rockstar’s beverages, and identifying him and his endorsement by name” without his consent. The lawsuit claims invasion of privacy, unfair competition and misappropriating his likeness to promote the product. Barker is “a prominent figure in the rock music world,” according to the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified punitive and statutory damages.

Rockstar has been busy with a number of projects including sponsoring events like the Warped Tour and Kevin Lyman’s upcoming Rockstar Mayhem tour.
