Rihanna is reportedly being sued for plagiarism by an artist claiming she copied one of his works in her 2010 video for "Rockstar 101."
According to Vibe magazine, James Clar is suing the pop star for stealing his concept.
In 2006, Clar released his piece "You & Me," comprised of neon tubes stuck to a ceiling that spell "you" and more tubes below it that spell "me."
He says that in the "Rockstar 101" video, Rihanna stole the same concept but spelled out "rock" and "star" instead.
Complex reports that although Clar is American, he is filing the lawsuit in France.
Clar's lawyer, who is arguing that the artist's unique art piece was reproduced without his permission, has submitted a complaint to Paris' Grand Instance Court.
The odds seem to be stacked against RihRih this time. Reports indicate that "French laws on plagiarism are more favorable in France than in the US."
Clar is seeking 4.9 million euros in damages, which is the equivalent of $6.64 million.
But this isn't the first time the Bajan singer has been accused of using someone else's work as her own.
Back in 2007, David LaChapelle sued Rihanna for her "S&M" video.
LaChapelle said Rih's video stole images from his Italian Vogue photo shoots.
The photographer initially sought out $1 million but the two ultimately reached an out-of-court settlement agreement.
In recent news, Damien Hirst was accused of plagiarism when he dressed Rihanna up as Medusa for British GQ.
