Rihanna faces new plagiarism claim for 'You Da One' video
"We Found Love" songstress Rihanna finds herself in the middle of a copying scandal due to her latest video released in support of the Talk That Talk single "You Da One". Directed by Melina Matsoukas, the clip features a fashion transformation of the singer, but also a scene which resemble with a work from fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo.
Instead of Solve's 2008 nude shoot, Riri wears a flesh colored bodysuit and a bowl haircut while shadows of stripes and dots form unique patterns across her skin, as she lays on the floor.

The lawsuit was settled outside the court.
Riri and Melina haven't responded yet to this plagiarism claim yet, but her video enjoys millions of views on the YouTube channel. Rihanna herself took it to Twitter just one day after releasing the video on Dec. 23rd and wrote: "#YouDaOne video was released a day ago and already has nearly 4 million views," she posted before adding hours later, " 'You Da One' video has 7,060,407 views."
