Beyoncé has been accused of copying Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama’s robot designs for her Renaissance tour.
The designer has insisted he would have happily worked with the “Break My Soul” hitmaker on her futuristic accessory that he has compared to his work for The Weeknd’s shows, which featured a giant version of one of his femme robot dolls.
Alongside Beyoncé’s robot headpiece and his designs on Instagram, he wrote,“Yo @beyonce… You should have asked me ‘officially’ so that I could make much better work for you as like my man @theweeknd.”
The comments section is filled with mixed opinions, with many claiming both artists have been inspired by Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis.
Beyoncé has yet to comment on Sorayama’s accusation.
