I dont know heaps about intellectual property law, but I would say if he wanted to protect his rights in the phrase "bling bling" he waited way too long. Its used by everyone now, its in the public domain. The law couldnt control it even if it wanted to. So, if he went to court and tried to trademark it, the court would say "Dude, there's no point, because it wont work, stop wasting all our time". (They might not say "dude"). Anyway, now it's so widely used, could he actually prove he invented the term? I dont know the story...

Well i think technically he could trademark it, not copyright it.
