Rapper and fashion designer Kanye West is being sued again.
This time, he is being sued for the unauthorized use of a picture that aimed to publicly shame Vogue’s global contributing editor-at-large Gabriella Karefa-Johnson because of her comments on Instagram about his “White Lives Matter” t-shirt.
In her Instagram stories, Karefa-Johnson said West demonstrated “indefensible behavior,” adding the t-shirt is the equivalent of a “Duchampian” type of provocation.
“It didn’t land, and it was deeply offensive, violent and dangerous,” she wrote.
She later wrote her ideas about the shirt were evolving, but she was clear that “the t-shirts this man conceived, produced, and shared with the world are pure violence.”
As a get-back, Kanye posted on his Instagram page a picture of her, writing, “This is not a fashion person. You speak on Ye Ima speak on you Ask Trevor Noah.”
TMZ says Michaela Efford, the person that took the picture of Karefa-Johnson is suing because he did not get permission from the photographer to post the flick.
The lawsuit says simply, Ye posted the picture a week after she took it.
Additionally, because the superstar, when he did have an Instagram account, had millions of followers, damaged Efford’s ability to profit off of her own work.
Kanye has not responded publicly to the lawsuit.
Neither has Karefa-Johnson.
