Artist Sues Rihanna Over ROCKSTAR 101 Video



The American artist James Clar has started a legal battle with Rihanna, accusing the pop singer of plagiarism, the Quotidien de l’Art’s Roxana Azimi reports. The point of contention is a prop used in Rihanna’s 2010 video ROCKSTAR 101, which resembles Clar’s installation You & Me, presented in Memphis in 2006.


In Clar’s piece, neon tubes spelling “you” are stuck to the ceiling and support more tubes, which read “me.” The object used in the music video functions according to the same system, but spells the words “rock” and “star” instead.
