Five of the biggest names in music are taking legal action against a clothing retailer over claims that the brand did not seek their approval before using their names, lyrics, and photos on their products.
The lawsuit, which was filed in New York on Tuesday, cites 58 alleged violations including a T-shirt that says Kanye is My Homie, a backpack that says RiRi and includes her birth year, and a shirt including Beyoncé's song lyrics: 'A diva is a female version of a hustler.'
The suit claims that the plaintiffs have even sent the brand written warnings, but they were still selling 'dozens of infringing merchandise' at their New York City store as of the day of filing.
