Palombo’s lawyer says Cardi B misappropriated her work without due credit.
A contemporary pop artist known for transforming The Simpsons into his art says he could take action against Cardi B for recreating his work in a Halloween Instagram post.
Italian artist aleXsandro Palombo claims that Cardi B was never allowed to use his art for his October 31 post, in which the rapper portrayed Marge Simpson in a dress that was cut back to expose her cleavage behind.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, did not credit Palombo in her post, but did use an image of his art in the series of photos she posted.
She did, however, assent to the French designer Thierry Muglerthe designer whose dress inspired Palombo’s work, in her Instagram caption.
Palombo, who created the artwork for Vogue UK in 2013wrote in a instagram post who contacted Cardi B and received no response.
Claudio Volpi, a lawyer who works with Palombo, told Artnet News that Cardi B defied “the most basic rules of Instagram copyright and policy” when she used Palombo’s art without credit.
Volpi also told Artnet that after the image was posted on the social media accounts of Cardi B and two members of her team, Palombo reached out to them and asked them to fix the mistake and link to her Instagram page. .
When that request was not met, Volpi sent out a formal notice, saying that if Cardi B and her team did not comply with the demands, they could take legal action, Volpi told the outlet.
In October, Cardi B. won a lawsuit after a man accused the rapper of misappropriating his image by using his tattoos on his raunchy album art.
Representatives for Cardi B and Palombo did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
