A source close to the singer said the 25-year-old was offered a small sum of cash and Topshop told her management ‘we do what we want.’
‘Rihanna’s management asked Topshop a number of times to stop selling her image,’ the source said.
‘What is most offensive for Rihanna is that they basically told her, “Go to hell. We don’t care”; we are going to continue selling you.
‘Even though the UK laws don’t protect the artist, she has decided to move forward and sue Topshop. She has spent almost $1 million in litigation at this point. She says it’s the principle, and wants to make a statement about it. They are taking advantage of artists. It is just exploitation. What they are doing is wrong.’
News of this legal battle comes one year after Rihanna inked a deal with rival company River Island, with whom she currently enjoys a creative working relationship
