Beyoncé’s team denies designer’s claims over unpaid ‘Renaissance’ artwork

nme.com:

Beyoncé’s team has responded to allegations made by a fashion designer and artist who has claimed he has unpaid fees for working on ‘Renaissance‘ material.Earlier this week Nusi Quero took to his Instagram to claim that he has outstanding payments for his work, which includes the ‘Renaissance’ cover art.

Specifically, he accused Beyoncé’s stylist Marni Senofonte of failing to pay him for various projects.“As a stylist for B, I really expected the best from you and your team,” Quero wrote in a since-deleted post seen by Complex. “But since you won’t responded to texts and emails.

I supposed this is the final venue I can utilise before legal means to settle your outstanding balances, that you’ve owed me and my collaborator for about 3 months.”He continued to allege that Senofonte had “paid a 50 percent deposit to me for one of the three jobs” but that did not include the work he did for the album cover.Quero also claimed he and his team didn’t receive those payments for more than a month.

He alleged that the projects in question included the “album cover piece” a second variation of the cover ensemble, styling services for an unnamed music video, and “a red custom 3D printed top I miraculously procured last miniature for a video shoot”.Now, Beyoncé’s team has denied the “troubling” allegations and insisted that Quero had been compensated.“It is deeply troubling that designer Nusi Quero has posted damaging statements about Marni Senofonte regarding non-payments for work completed.
