Photographer accuses Burna Boy of intellectual property theft
As Burna Boy's album, Twice As Tall continues to receive applause from around the globe, it appears the Grammy-nominated singer may have some trouble on his hands concerning his album cover.
A Nigerian web developer and photographer identified as @webgod30 on Twitter has taken to the micro-blogging to accuse the singer of intellectual property theft.
The photographer claims Burna Boy's album cover art was copied from a 2019 photograph he had created.
Sharing the photos for comparison, he tweeted: "Remember this my Picture from 2019? Thats how @burnaboy went to copy and use it for #TWICEASTALL in 2020. i cry out On behalf of my other brothers who cry that their ideas are being stolen. This intellectual property theft is paining my lungs. #BurnaBoy must pay me damages"
