JAKARTA - Rapper Jay-Z sued the photographer who worked on the artwork for the album Reasonable Doubt. He suspects that the person used his name and photo without his permission.
Photographer Jonathan Mannion is behind the cover of the 1996 album Reasonable Doubt. In legal documents seen by TMZ, Mannion used his name and material to sell merchandise and other photographs.
Jay-Z explained he never gave permission to use photos outside of album projects. This lawsuit was made to stop the photographer from selling his photos.
Beyonce's husband also said that Mannion thought that because he took the picture, he could use it freely.
Mannion responded to the lawsuit by saying, "We believe the First Amendment protects Mannion's right to sell his art."
They also said Mannion had great respect for Jay-Z as a musician. "Mannion created the iconic image of Carter (real name Jay-Z) over the years and is proud that this image has shaped Jay-Z to this day."
Closing their statement, they hope that Jay-Z respects the creator's right to produce his work.
"(Mannion) hopes Carter respects the rights of the artists and creators who helped him reach the heights he has already achieved."
