Jay-Z and Beyonce are facing a federal copyright infringement lawsuit from Dr. L'Antoinette Stines, a Jamaican artist who claims they took her work without giving her any credit or money, leaving her feeling 'artistically raped.' Stines told the court that the super-couple, according to TMZ, reached out to her in March of 2018 seeking local dancers to perform in a promotional video for a tour. She said, 'Hmm, well there's love of children, love of self, love of God, love of a partner - and all of them have a different shape. In the song, which was on The Carters' 2018 album Everything Is Love, Jay-Z begins rapping shortly after Stines is done replying to the question. Stines is also requesting damages in the case and told the court their use of her voice violated her right to publicity.
