How did Hammer go broke with endorsements like this?

Cube - 2014-03-10 I don't think that's MC Hammer.

gravelstudios - 2014-03-10 Hammer's actual KFC commercial is already here. I can understand the confusion, though. This is very Hammer-esque.

exy - 2014-03-10 The caretaker guy at the place where my band used to practice had been a roadie for Hammer. Yeah, I guess golden bathroom fixtures might be a bad indicator for financial sanity. Anyway, this guy had a couple cases of old MC Hammer stage costumes. Somewhere in the world there's a picture of me wearing an MC Hammer backup dancer's outfit.

infinite zest - 2014-03-10 I think it's weird that this came out in 1990, whereas the actual KFC ads with Hammer were later. It's a blatant rip-off, which is pretty common, but the fact that a year or so later they got actual Hammer confuses me. Like it was either:
KFC: Please Hammer don't try to sue us! Want to be in our commercial
or
Hammer: We liked your homage to Hammer, would you like the real deal?
It's just kind of weird to me, like if Tom Waits did a Doritos commercial himself after he sued Frito Lay for impersonating his voice.
