I think it's a stretch to say they tried to coopt something from ICP. It doesn't make sense. yes, ICP liked ninjas long before twiztid were around but like I said, they've been by ICPs side for so long that anything that is in their realm of interests is going to overlap. 

And yeah, I had to watch it again after posting that lol.

Most of their lines in big money hustlas were improvised. So we're J's. 

They created that chant, so even though it is closely tied to ICP (it being ICP's movie, them being ICP's proteges and friends), it was still an organic thing for them to choose that line.

You gotta realize that they spent fucking 15 years at ICPs side, so anything they came up with would be tied to ICP in some way. 

Nooooo no no no. Fine, they created the chant, but why were they chanting it? Because of the magic ninjas that J WROTE into the script. ICP's love affair with ninjas goes back way before Twiztid, both in their personal lives and on record. I'm gonna point out the obvious and say that the song "Ninja" is from Tunnel Of Love which is years before Twiztid even existed. In no way did Twiztid have anything to do with bringing ninjas into the lore.

EDIT: Man, that movie is so fuckin awesome. Just watching that clip reminds me how awesome it is.

hopefully they change their label name soon.. 

It's such a fucked up name because everyone knows ninjas are ICP's thing. The cynic in me would say they tried to appropriate ninjas so that it would be free promotion anytime ICP mentioned ninjas in a song, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that it was just lack of creativity.
