Recently, Musicians Kendrick Lamar, SZA, and Top Dawg Entertainment have been sued by British-Liberian artiste Lina Viktor for what she sees as clear plagiarism of her work in the video of the track “All the stars”. The song is a part of the album for the blockbuster film Black Panther.
Viktor says Marvel Studios first contacted her in 2016, and then again earlier this year, about the possibility of either using works from her “Constellations” series-which feature “stylised motifs of mythical animals, gilded geometric forms on a black background, and distinctively textured areas and patterns, arrayed in a grid-like arrangement of forms” – for Black Panther set, or possibly commissioning her to make a new work to promote the film, reports nytimes.com.
