Beyonce Slammed For Taking Credit For A Company's Athletic Line She Did Not Create

 
Beyonce
 
Thieving R&B singer, Beyonce, is known to the press, law firms and audiences alike, for stealing people's preexisting copyrights (see "related articles" below). The internet routinely mocks her as a "swagger jacker" which is a thief who steals other people's work and ideas. Beyonce fraudulently takes credit for other people's work on a regular basis, in what is illegal conduct under domestic and international copyright law. Beyonce is the recipient of many lawsuits for stealing everything from royalties (tens of millions of dollars) to copyrights (lyrics, music, photos, videos, clothing lines, movies).

This month Beyonce launched a clothing line called Ivy Park, which is another idea she stole, along with copyrighted pieces she had made using ugly, cheap materials and tackily altered designs. Beyonce also models the clothes in the commercial, but does not look right in them at all. Last week Beyonce took her deranged need to steal credit for things she did not do, nor does she legally own, via posing in Elle magazine, wearing athletic wear by dancewear manufacturer KD New York, but taking credit for the items, in deliberately misleading the public into thinking it is apart of the Ivy Park line.

KD New York publicly slammed Beyonce for this misconduct, which is now being covered on a number of websites and is in the New York Post newspaper. Beyonce is crazy to keep stealing from people and taking credit for other people's work. At this point it is mental derangement. She has been repeatedly humiliated in newspapers, on blogs, pop culture sites and message boards for stealing, but keeps doing it like no one notices when everyone notices it. She's a greedy, demonic thief.

Clothing line accuses Beyoncé of playing dirty with mag credits

April 14, 2016 | 9:57PM - Brass from Bronx-based dancewear manufacturer KD New York are fuming that they weren’t credited in Elle’s Beyoncé cover story. The singer wore the company’s leggings in the spread, but the piece online only credits Ivy Park, Beyoncé’s own line with Topshop. A rep for KD told Page Six that the brand was at first credited until someone from Beyoncé’s camp allegedly had Elle pull the online credit. 

“We were fully credited when the story went up, and then I went back a couple of days later and it was removed,” owner David Lee told us. “Someone [close to Beyoncé] called and said the credits were going to be removed without any explanation.” Lee said they lent the mag over 60 pieces. Elle’s site instructs readers to pick up the print issue on newsstands “for a list of complete fashion credits” while mentioning, “Beyoncé wears Ivy Park throughout.”...

Chris Brown Sued By Graffiti Artist For Trademark And Copyright Infringement On His Clothing Line


Chris Brown
 
R&B singer, Chris Brown, has been hit with another lawsuit. Brown has roughly a dozen against him, alleging everything from assault endangerment. The latest has been filed against Brown by graffiti artist, Konfused, real name, Andre Khazrei, who obtained a trademark for his name and registered copyrights for his art work and clothing line. Kofused has been using the name since 2003.

Konfused alleges in a lawsuit that Brown recently stole his trademarked name, changing one letter to rename it Konfuzed, then using it for the singer's graffiti work and clothing line. Konfused also states Brown recently made an error and signed a painting at the Grammy Museum "Konfused" rather than "Konfuzed" which he states is a dead giveaway the singer knowingly ripped him off. In the lawsuit, Konfused demands Brown stop using the moniker and pay damages for infringing his trademark and copyrights. 

The names are extremely similar and even confused me momentarily while writing this article. Brown needs to use his own name, which he has already established anyway, because this is unquestionably causing "confusion in the marketplace" as the frequently employed legal phrase goes, regarding the subject of trademarks.

Chris Brown Sued Street Artist Konfused ... You Jacked My Tag!!!

4/6/2016 12:49 PM PDT - Street artist Konfused is just that ... after Chris Brown snatched his tag and slapped it on a clothing line ... according to the lawsuit he's filed against the singer.  In legal docs, Andre Khazrei says he's been Konfused since 2003 ... long before Breezy created the very similar artistic alter ego, Konfuzed -- and started tagging walls and signing paintings. 

Andre says he got a trademark for Konfused t-shirts and a bunch of other merch -- which is why he says Chris' Breezy Konfuzed clothing line is a total rip-off, which confuses the marketplace. His proof? In the docs, Andre says Chris himself screwed up and signed a painting at L.A.'s Grammy Museum with "Konfused" ... instead of using a 'Z.'

Beyonce And Jay Z's HBO Concert Special 'On The Run' Bombs As One Of The Lowest Rated Specials In The Network's History

Beyonce And Jay Z's 'On The Run' One Of The Lowest Rated Programs In HBO's History


Jay Z to Beyonce: man, nobody watched it!
 
The fall out from the Jay Z and Solange elevator fight continues. Rapper Jay Z and his wife Beyonce embarked on a tour titled "On The Run." Many of the tour stops suffered from poor ticket sales, which led to higher ticket prices in VIP and special seating to compensate for the losses. 


The couple turned their "On The Run" tour into a special for HBO and in bombed in the ratings department. It turns out the public is "On The Run" from Jay Z and Beyonce, as only 800,000 people viewed the special on HBO, indicating the couple's popularity is seriously declining. Despite this fact, Beyonce and Jay Z announced plans for a joint album, to be released to a public that is suffering from fatigue where this overexposed couple is concerned.


Beyonce and Jay Z are constantly in court facing a number of trademark and copyright theft lawsuits, as well as cases for financial fraud. People should endeavor to do business in a lawful, honest and ethical manner. It may seem like one is getting ahead at first via dishonest financial transactions and theft, but history has a way of correcting itself at a moment's notice. Just ask Bernard Madoff, who lost it all overnight.

Karrueche Tran's Fashion Line The Kill Being Killed By Someone Other Than Chris Brown



Karrueche Tran

Chris Brown's girlfriend Karrueche Tran didn't do her homework before starting her own fashionline called The Kill. It was embarrassingly delayed last month, after a much hyped launch date of 12/12/12. Initially rumors claimed the launch was scrapped due to Rihanna demanding Chris Brown pull funding.

However, according to the Rhymes With Snitch blog, Tran is facing legal action over the name of her fashionline, as another company, Kill Brand, has been releasing similar clothes under said name prior to Tran attempting to do so. The blog stated, "Apparently there's already a clothing line called Kill Brand, that's a pretty big deal in their own right, and KB are preparing a lawsuit to wipe Karrueche's Kill Society off the face of the earth."


Chris Brown

Tran has been trying to carve out a career of her own, sick of pot shots from Brown's jealous side chick, Rihanna, who seems to think being a music model is as important as being a head of state or scientist. Smoking weed all day, getting "black out drunk" as she puts it, flashing your chi-chis and lip syncing to copyright infringing music does not a career make. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Beyonce And Jay-Z Lose Trademark Battle To Register The Name Of Their Child Blue Ivy


Really, let the poor baby breathe (Photo Credit: Film Magic)

Singer Beyonce Knowles and rapper Jay-Z have lost a battle to register their daughter's name Blue Ivy, who was born this year. Their application was rejected like a bad weave, as the name was registered by a successful wedding planner in Boston in 2008, when she came up with the name.

Blue Ivy isn't a common name and maybe Jay-Z and Beyonce, known for poaching things, came across her website when they were getting married. Under the circumstances, they are not entitled to the name. Furthermore, with the way Beyonce steals everything, she should change her name to  Poisin Ivy (that way, the baby won't be the only Ivy in the family).


Beyonce is always showing Obama all of her teeth, even the back ones (I know she wants to show him a lot more than that, ahem, that's if she hasn't already *hint hint*)

People have been writing hilarious comments in feedback sections online regarding this incident, slamming Knowles and Jay-Z for being greedy. It was originally announced the couple planned to use the name for a string of merchandising items, such as dolls patterned after their daughter. 

One commenter on the Rhymes With Snitch blog stated, "I think it's odd they would have blue ivy dolls when they don't even show the real kid's face...would the doll have a blanket over it's face. Confused." I laughed until I cried when I read that. But it shows exactly what people think of the money and publicity hungry couple. 

 

With her crush on the President, you know Beyonce wishes Obama were the father of her child

Side Bar: Speaking of that, as stated before, I was informed Blue Ivy is not Knowles biological child and she was indeed wearing a prosthetic baby bump throughout her fake pregnancy. Why she felt it necessary to go to such lengths to deceive people is strange and now she seeks to profit off the little baby in an unethical way.
