Kendrick Lamar, SZA sued over 'All the stars' video

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.

Viktor ultimately declined, which, she says, explains why she was shocked when friends began forwarding her the video for Lamar and SZA's song, asking if she had ended up working on the project. The moment in question comes at 2:59 in the video, as Lamar wanders through a hallway covered in murals that do appear to closely resemble larger versions of Viktor's work. Her lawsuit also contains a number of comparison photographs of the two pieces, some of which are essentially indistinguishable to the naked eye. Viktor is currently seeking "a minimum of a public apology for the unauthorised use and a license fee". Meanwhile, Lamar bagged the Best International Male Solo Artist at the 2018 Brit Awards.
