Rihanna has settled a lawsuit with fashion photographer David LaChapelle, who had claimed that the singer had plagiarised his provocative pictures in her S&M video.
LaChapelle alleged that the video copied his poses, lighting, wardrobe and props, and launched a lawsuit against Rihanna and her label, Def Jam, and asked for 1 million dollars in damages.
According to the reports, Rihanna has settled the case for an undisclosed sum. Jaret Keller, LaChapelle’s publicist, confirmed that Rihanna has settled the case but refused to comment further. “David is happy with the settlement,” the New York Post quoted him as saying.
