According to Billboard and TMZ, a man named Dwayne Walker
who claims to have designed the Roc-A-Fella logo has filed a suit against the
megastar for holding Jay Z’s chain in her hand in the video, alleging she does
not have permission for “prominently displaying” the image.
Walker previously filed a $7 million suit against Jay Z and
his former label partners Damon “Dame” Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, as well
as the Roc’s current owner Universal Music Group, to claim royalties for the
logo. He alleges that his designs were the basis for the final logo. It has
been disputed that it was created by an in-house Roc-A-Fella designer.In
Walker’s most recent suit, he is looking for compensation from Beyoncé for the
below:
Beyoncé appears holding the chain here at 5:20 in the video
and, according to the suit, again at 5:28, although its placement is less
prominent to this viewer. Jay Z has not been named in the suit, despite wearing
the chain in the video.
