Beyoncé est accusée d’avoir plagié un artiste africain

Diet Prada, un compte Instagram, a mis en ligne une vidéo qui évoque les similitudes entre les clips de Beyoncé « Spirit » et « Begger » ainsi que celui de « Petite Noir » sorti en octobre dernier, intitulé « La Maison Noir : The Gift and the Curse », qui a été visionné près de 2 millions de fois sur YouTube.

Beyoncé n’a pas réagi à ces accusations.

It looks like those ???????? costumes were just the tip of the iceberg. Here's a side by side comparison of @Beyonce 's "Spirit" + "Bigger" extended cut directed by Jake Nava vs. South African musician @petitenoirkvlt 's "La Maison Noir: The Gift and The Curse", directed by artist @rharha_nembhard and released in May 2018. With almost 2 million views on YouTube, the 17-minute film revolves around a cosmogram from Petite Noir aka Yannick Illunga's native Congo, referencing the four elements of fire, earth, water, and air. It also symbolizes rebirth. In the visual journey through the formative stages of the musician’s life, themes of resistance, migration and women’s rights are also explored. As founders of the Noirwave movement, husband/wife duo Illunga and Nembhard’s work seeks to write a new narrative of the contemporary experience, uniting all people of African descent, across the continent and beyond. Dieters and Beyhive that are about to go off in the comments, please remember to be constructive ??. • #beyonce #spirit #bigger #rharhanembhard #petitenoir #noirwave #southafrica #congolese #cosmogram #musicvideo #visualalbum #thelionling #jakenava #cinemtography #director #creativedirector #film #costumedesign #havasupaifalls #landscape #desert #waterfall
