Beyoncé received a card of cessation and withdrawal from the legal team of James Dolan, head of the Madison Square Garden and owner of the Sphere Entertainment Group, demanding that he withdraw from his Cowboy Carter tour a video that shows it by collecting and manipulating the Las Vegas Sphere without authorization, New York Post revealed.
Lawyer Kathleen McCarthy, from the King & Spalding firm, sent a hard warning to Parkwood Entertainment, the singer’s production company, accusing her of using and altering images of the enclosure without any permission.
The letter indicates that in one of the videos of the interlude projected during the concerts, a giant beyoncé appears leaning, lifting the sphere and flying over it, which has caused speculations about an alleged future residence of the artist in that place.
“Beyoncé – very large than the Sphere enclosure – leans, lifts the enclosure and looms on it,” McCarthy wrote, pointing out that this unauthorized use constitutes a direct violation of the intellectual property rights of the place, although the artist has never acted there.
Sphere Entertainment Group (SEG) gave the interpreter of “Single Ladies” a deadline until Monday to eliminate the offending content, and demanded that it is not used in merchandise, promotional materials, marketing or any documentary of the tour.
If the application does not comply, sec, reserves the right to take legal actions without prior notice.
The Cowboy Carter tour, which started last week in Inglewood, California, includes dates in cities such as Chicago, Houston, New York and London, and will culminate in July with two concerts in the Allegant Stadium in Las Vegas, the same city where the controversial enclosure is located.
It should be remembered that, according to previous reports of The New York Post, Beyoncé tried to negotiate a residence in Sphere, but the conversations failed when his team requested 10 million dollars for high level production and the closure of the enclosure for two weeks of trials, something that the administration rejected.
For now, neither Beyoncé nor his team have issued public statements about legal warning.
