Boy George has been accused of “ripping off” Kylie Minogue on the artwork of his latest single ‘Religion’.The Culture Club star released the track yesterday (February 19) and fans began to notice how similar the single’s artwork was to Minogue’s cover for her 2023 LP ‘Tension‘.

Boy George’s art sees him posed with a sunset-hued background with his name and the track’s title in the same fonts used on the ‘Padam Padam’ singer’s album artwork.Fans immediately took to social media to point out the resemblance and call out the ‘Karma Chameleon’ singer for his choice in art direction. “I know that every masterpiece has its cheap copy but what the hell is this,” said one X/Twitter user while another one questioned if the artwork was real.I know that every masterpiece has its cheap copy but what the hell is this… pic.twitter.com/mPSh6XZUc4— Editor-In-Chief of Reality Von Tease (@confideinm3) February 19, 2024“Wait this is real??
