Rihanna Lawsuit Against The Top Shop!

 
Well, I guess Rihanna wasn't lying in her hit single Pour It Up off her lastest ablum Unapolegetic when she said "All I see is signs, All I see is dollar signs" because our favorite Bajan princess is headed straight to the bank for a $5 Million dollar lawsuit against one of our favorite clothing stores, The Top Shop.


Rihanna and her management team were notified that the popular clothing store happened to be selling merchandise with Rihanna's pictures without her consent. You see, the company buys celebrity pictures from the photographers but doesn't pay the artist for promotion. At first, Rihanna and her team politely asked the company to stop using Rihanna's face to promote their brand but the company ignored their request. The Top Shop offered Rihanna $5,000 dollars and continued to sell their merchandise. Rihanna was highly offended with the offer by the multi-million dollar company. Rihanna has decided to take matters into her own hands, legal wise. So far Rihanna has spent $1 Million dollars in litigation towards the lawsuit. Rihanna says, "It's the principle and what they're doing is wrong. They're taking advantage and exploiting artists and something must be done."
We're rooting for you RiRi, get that money girl!
