Beyonce is accused of ripping off the Japanese designer Hajime Sorayama’s artwork.
The designer took to his Instagram handle to claim that the singer did not ask for his permission before using his futuristic sketches and ensembles as part of her “Renaissance” tour visuals.
“Yo @beyonce 🤘 You should have asked me “officially” so that I could make much better work for you as like my man @theweeknd ✊,” wrote Sorayama in the caption along with the still from the Grammy winner’s Renaissance movie, which were compared to his artwork.
The first picture showed Beyonce’s face on a massive screen on one of the several dozen stages on which she performed her 56-stop show. Meanwhile, the second slide featured the same image of the pop star on a t-shirt.
The last three pictures in the post were illustrations showing women wearing strikingly similar headpieces along with matching geometric getups resembling fitted tin suits.
