Quavo Hit With Copyright Lawsuit Over Ferrari Sculpture Featured in TikTok Music Video
A Quavo TikTok video featuring a Ferrari sculpture has drawn a copyright lawsuit claiming he “unlawfully exploited” the sculpture for the clip.
Quavo is facing a copyright lawsuit centered on a recent music video — not over an uncleared sample or a stolen melody, but a quartz sculpture of a 1961 Ferrari that he used as a prop. In a complaint filed late last month, attorneys for sculptor Daniel Arsham claim the rapper (Quavious Marshall) “unlawfully exploited” the Ferrari sculpture by rapping in front of it in a video he posted to TikTok and other social platforms in December. “Without his consent, and without his knowledge, defendants created a video which prominently featured the artwork to promote the music of Quavo,” Arsham’s lawyers write in the March 31 lawsuit.
