Beyoncé shocked us all with the surprise drop of visual album Lemonade and following her Formation tour and win at the CFDA awards, it look likes there’s no sign of stopping her anytime soon.

The release of Lemonade brought tears, joy, anger and major speculation to the Beyhive, which discussed the possible fact that Jay-Z cheated on the Halo singer.

Regardless of what happened in Beyoncé’s personal life, Lemonade sold exceptionally well for the Texan lady and it’s only now she is coming under fire for the hit album.

Filmmaker Matthew Fulks has claimed that Beyoncé has copied images from his 2014 film Palinoia for her Lemonade promotional video.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fulks filed a lawsuit on the basis that Beyoncé stole nine visuals that are specific to his film.

The images include ‘graffiti and persons with heads down,’ ‘red persons with eyes obscured,’ ‘parking garage,’ ‘stairwell,’ ‘black and white eyes,’ ‘title card screens,’ ‘the grass scene,’ ‘feet on the street,’ and ‘side-lit ominous figures.’

The trailers can be compared here.

Beyoncé’s representation has yet to comment on the matter.
