Rihanna Embroiled In New Plagiarism Row Following ‘GQ’ Spread

Published: Sunday 1st Dec 2013 by David

Months before the unleashing of her eighth studio album, Pop trendsetter Rihanna has found herself in the middle of a fresh plagiarism row this week, after the artist Jim Starr accused her of imitating his work on her most recent spread with ‘GQ‘ magazine.

Full story below…

After catching wind of the shot published here, Starr took to Sarah Sands‘ ‘Evening Standard’ to accuse the Pop singer and creative Damien Hurst of imitating his work, without his permission.

He explained:

“I am aware that artists are all sort of drawing from the same well but I think I know when my work has inspired someone else’s.”

Unfortunately for Hirst, Starr now joins a long list of artists to have accused him of intentionally plagiarising their work.

Indeed, as is explained here, the ‘For the Love of God’ creator has oft seen his creations critiqued and seen him labelled a ‘copy cat’, adding weight to Starr’s allegations.

Rihanna is yet to respond.

    This is from Medusa!!! Damn people are dumb

  11. Skyfall December 1, 2013

    Lol, people always wanna say somebody was “inspired” or “copied”
    From them like they were they one who invented Medusa. Or a
    Woman with snakes for hair

  12. Skyfall December 1, 2013

    And the only similarities I see is that they both have snakes for hair.
    Do Rihanna have a mask on, are her eyes black, are her lips red?

  13. BeyRihStan December 1, 2013

    Ummmm its Medusa!!!! He didn’t create Medusa!!!

  14. MC!!!!! December 1, 2013

    so beyonce gets away from actually copying a chick photoshoot for her tour costume and all but when rihanna does snakes in her hair for Halloween off of a painting no less she get all types of heat! I don’t get it! tbh its not like someone in real life did its a painting!!!!

  15. Nicki Is Queen. Other B****** Take A Seat December 1, 2013

  16. Marcel December 1, 2013

    Folks need to realize that as an artist nothing is new under the sun so just because you think you were being creative an original others have the same influences and can think up the same thing

    Check out “Dare” by new artist Marcel

    Try hard as always. Putting your name on songwriting credits for songs you never wrote is not the same as being inspired by a generic archetype. I cant!

  18. desiree December 2, 2013

    He did not create Medusa. The ignorance is real. Smh

  19. roxy December 2, 2013

    Those snakes on her head look disgusting ewwwww

  20. Tika December 2, 2013

    This is so stupid. For one both images take from Medusa. There are thousands of pictures of Medusa over hundreds of years. The painting has on a mask, eyes can not be seen, and a colored lip. Rihannas pic has no mask, eyes can be seen with snake eye contacts, and she doesn’t have a colored lip. The painting does not have a snake around it’s neck. Some people are so thirsty now days.

    He Simply Need More People.

    and to be totally honest, the whole “plagiarism” talk is Rich Coming from a nicki/beyonce stan Like u @sam, I just can’t at the Reach+bitterness+bias. 🙄 😆

We get it, you love Beyonce and hate Rihanna but the truth will always remain to be the truth… And Beyonce is the biggest, most blatant plagiarist there is. NOT Rihanna… End of story. Officially done reading this b******* of a “blog”.

  27. ICONIC RIRI December 3, 2013
