If a report that surfaced today is to be believed, ‘Pour It Up‘ singer Rihanna is gearing up to sue British retailer ‘Topshop’ for £3million, preparing to take the company to task later on this year.
Details below…
In a report published by Dacre’s Daily Mail, the entertainer is seeking 3 million pounds in compensation from the High Court because the company sold T-shirts with her face printed on them….without her permission.
While this report is yet to be confirmed, it indicates that the star’s camp advised the company to stop selling the product but were ignored, as British law allows companies to buy images from an image’s photographer without consulting the person in the image, in this case- that person was Rihanna.
The Mail shares:
A source close to the singer said the 25-year-old was offered a small sum of cash and Topshop told her management ‘we do what we want.’
‘Rihanna’s management asked Topshop a number of times to stop selling her image,’ the source said.
‘What is most offensive for Rihanna is that they basically told her, “Go to hell. We don’t care”; we are going to continue selling you.
‘Even though the UK laws don’t protect the artist, she has decided to move forward and sue Topshop. She has spent almost $1 million in litigation at this point. She says it’s the principle, and wants to make a statement about it. They are taking advantage of artists. It is just exploitation. What they are doing is wrong.’
News of this legal battle comes one year after Rihanna inked a deal with rival company River Island, with whom she currently enjoys a creative working relationship, as seen here.

Money grabbing beeoottch! Its the only way she’ll get some money all to herself I guess.
Its not money grabbing, they are the money grabbers because they are selling her image with out her permission. She can’t allow that because of her partnership with river island wish is kind of in competition with top shop. If you knew business, you would know that is she allows them to keep using her image, river island could sue her and let her go as a partner.
They are trying to pull a fast one and Rih is hitting back and they were al;l kinds of fiesty with it too. Gooo Rihanna dont let these companies walk over you hun

Like why is this even necessary? You’re supposed to supposedly be ‘the baddest b****’ as you claim yourself, why are you hunting for money out of this? I always knew Rihanna was a f****** b****. Her stans are blind to the truth.
try print an elvis or bob marley t shirt and sell it and see what happen. you’re ignorant. this is like me mix sugar and water and slap a pepsi sticker on it and sell it.
YAS RIH betta get some justice.
That T-Shirt is disgusting anyway. Who would want that? Everyone time I go in Topshop the racks are FULL of it. Isnt that telling them something?
Ok Sam

Rihanna really? And if Beyonce herself hasn’t confirmed she is pregnant. Then it isn’t confirmed smdh. I hate the word ‘sources’. It always sounds shady. But I think she is pregnant though.
Enews is legit tho
Beyonce is pregnant again
Congratulations to Beyonceeeeeeeee!
Looks like she wasn’t scared of Rihanna after all Navy, you tried and failed. She was just up the duff 😉
I support her at this one, I hope she wins it.
i got love for Rihanna,but seeing her on that T-shirt just makes me laugh,something is seriously wrong with that T-Shirt and pic i can’t put my hands on it,mybe she felt the same way too,thats why she is suing.
Rihanna should sue her P**** for reckless endangerment.
It can’t be served papers cos it has no walls for us to knock on.
She should sue because how are they going to sell her image without her consistent, they are the money hungry ones. Also if she lets them do it it could ruin her partnership with river island which is basically in competition with TopShop, and they could possibly use her. So TopSHop shouldn’t not be selling those shirt. It all business.
Her consistent?
Back to school you geaux!
LMAO @ Blue Ivy trending WW on twitter. Congrats btw Beyoncé. I had a feeling she was.
Wait,how is this a stan war again??She feels her rights are being infringed by an enterprise and she has every right to sue..You people always want to fight over everything
Except the UK isn’t the US and none of her rights are being infringed. The article made it pretty clear.
Beyonce managed to take Kelly’s shine–AGAIN, trolled the Hive and got pregnant on those mosquitos. This is such a kiii. . .congrats Hive. . .your fav is now giving you Green Grass or Red Velvet or something like that. . .no new music
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
And you Navy said no new music was because of Rihanna. Too bad it wasn’t kiiiiiiii!
Either way you see it. . you will NOT be getting a new album OR new single and you better HOPE she finishes the tour. Thank you JAY!!!!!!
I aint one of them stans that’s pissed. Its her life. Shes filmed a video anyway, Timbaland confirmed. You mustve been worried if you’re that thankful kiiiii!
@drew ok!!! Mte
Oh my bad I mean @Jewell.
Wow just WOW @ reading Dray’s comments!
This stanbase right here!!!
Even when Bey is : PREGNANT, that won’t stop them from ONCE AGAIN using the same “No new singles KII” pathetic flop ass drag!
Even when their fav is throwing wack ass shades at superior icons who’ve sold like 40M albums more than her worldwide, that won’t stop them from from sticking their tongues all the way out and licking her balls, cheering her more and more!
Blinded by the hate TBH . .
Who sold 40 million album more than Rihanna ww?, not Beyonce.
You heard of Destiny’s Child?
Beyonce led them, so sales account to hers
➡
MMM no, you don’t see MJ fans using The Jackson 5 sales to inflate his sales, why?, because it was unnecessary, i’m a Beyonce fan and that it’s kind of embarrassing, she has sold enough to exaggerate her sales.
Beys album sales as a solo is practically the same amount as Rihanna with just 4 albums to 7.
Well, I’m sure Billboard knows about adding up sales more than any of us.
And Michael Jackson stans can count Jackson 5 sales if they want, no one cares. So . . .
Do you really believe that s*** about Bey selling 120 million records sold, that’s b*******, not even 100, last time she was at 75 million records sold.
75 million is outdated. Shes sold more now. But I agree about the solo albums part @marc
^^ I don’t give a f*** about “records”. Album sales is all what matters, not $1 sales.
And when it comes to albums, yes she’s above 30M in the states alone according to Billboard.
What’s so hard to understand?
She has sold 13 million albums in the US, are you kidding me, what a shame to the hive your are.
13 million SOLO, not in total.
And the real “SHAME” is discreaditing others from something they were a major part of for a decade of their musical career and talking as if they were never even there.
SPECIALLY when you’re suppostedly a “Bey fan”.
.
But you know what? I don’t even know why I’m wasting my time with you when – like I said – Billboard, the biggest chart company in the world, always add up her DC album sales to her in their articles.
**goes to sleep***
that’s what you get for not gettin’ the queen’s approval
I think she’s suing Topshop (UK Forever 21, except overpriced as hell) because
1) She looks a mess on that shirt
2) They weren’t selling and she’s mad or
3) She could only afford to design for River Island (UK Wet Seal).
But whatever. She shouldn’t be talking about stealing when she basically copied David LaChapelle’s entire career in her S&M video.
Im with Rih on this one and those thrift shop owners sound like jerks.
Thrift shop? Sweetie, Topshop is not low budget ass River Island.
I don’t think she’ll win, seems like the laws on TopShop’s side.
That being said I know I’d be pissed as hell if I was in her position.
Says a lot they basically told her to go to hell, stop pretending to be bout that life sweetie.
“British law allows companies to buy images from an image’s photographer without consulting the person in the image”
1) There is no motherfucking way of Rihanna winning this.
2) That’s a f****** ugly top…
3) … but it still looks better than any of her ghetto trashy w****-ish River Island look.
LOL at wasting a million dollars on a case she has no hope of winning. She must be smoking car exhaust as well as crack these days.
Ugly T-Shirt. Money Hungry w****. Can’t stand this b****
HAHAHAHAH dead @ HIVS using BeUglyonce’s pregnancy as an excuse. That bytch been scared to release, even before she found out about being pregnant.Rihanna is still the reason because the bytch had a chance to release during SB. What stopped her then?? the struggle to release continues.
Wow… My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy black man. They met through ~~~ MìxedŚìngle.Çoм ~ ~~Serious interracial dating is an ideal platform for afro romance for black & white singles. So, if you want to look for people with which you can date, you are at the right place.You can meet(lawyers,busy professionals, benefactors. models, celebrities, etc….)perhaps you can have a try.
BeUglyonce is pregnant so it’s now a guaranteed fact that she will not be giving her fans new music. LMAO Wrinkle Flop Ora was right. This is a sign telling her to sit her old fat crusty washed-up a** down. Take your own advice.
Shut up. Are you in Beyonces brain to know that?
It’s funny how your fav wants that family life Bey has, which is why Chris left her, he wasn’t ready to wife a loose woman…
Yes!! Mean while Pour it Up is platinum. Rihanna is set to release Pour it Up video, which will snatch all lace fronts. Rihanna tweeted “Summer is mine”. That means that Right Now is coming. Rita Whora was the person they claim will take Rihanna out in 2011.It is now 2013 and this bytch does not have a Gold album in the US.
Got a thang for a King, but chu ain’t a King!!!
Lazy b**** is just NOW releasing Pour It Up video? Song is dead, just like Herprihs will be in a couple of years when her STDs catch up with her.
She aint gonna win.
Rih fighting for chump change from a thrift shop?? The tour struggle is real…
Just another person getting paid by using Rihannas name and image. She better go after them!!!
