The photo that Rodrigo uploaded is the artwork for the SOUR concert film in celebration of the release of the album of the same name. The concert film will be released on Tuesday, June 29.

Courtney Love felt that Rodrigo imitated the concept of Hole's band, Live Through This, which was released in 1994. The Live Through This artwork featured Love holding a bouquet of flowers and a tiara and messy makeup.

On his Facebook account, he considers recreating the concept of an image without permission to be abusive. The wife of the late Kurt Cobain also said Rodrigo's record label, Geffen Records was the party that should be responsible.

"I told (Rodrigo) I was waiting for flowers and an apology. I hope it's long. Does Disney teach their children to read and write? Who knows. Let's see," he said.

Rodrigo himself has written for Love on Instagram, but Love is waiting for flowers and an apology.

This is not the first time Rodrigo has been accused of imitating other musicians. Previously, the single when Sour, Good 4 U was said to have similarities with Paramore's Misery Business song.

Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo has not responded to Courtney Love's accusations.
