Chris Brown’s video Wobble Up features artwork allegedly copied without their consent
Marius Sperlich says his first thought when he saw Chris Brown’s
music video for his song Wobble Up was “not again”. The image of a nipple that acts as a temperature dial and another of a tropical island shaped like a bottom were strangely familiar, and he claims, brazen copies of his own work.
Sperlich is one of a group of artists who have claimed that the team behind the pop star’s video stole their ideas without crediting them. For the Berlin-based artist – whose work is posted on
Instagram, where he has more than 400,000 followers – it was just the latest case of his concepts being allegedly lifted wholesale from the web without permission or credit.
