Beyoncé faces ‘Monday deadline' amid shocking legal troubles over Cowboy Carter tour
Beyoncé received a cease-and-desist letter for a recent performance amidst her ongoing 'chaotic' Cowboy Carter tour. The singer commenced her country concert tour in Los Angeles last week. However, Madison Square Garden's boss James Dolan sent a strongly worded letter regarding the imagery she used in her first two performances, Page Six reported.
The 32-time Grammy winner was warned in the court filing to take down a scene from her performances in which she was seen grabbing the Las Vegas Sphere and playing with it.
The Sphere Entertainment Group has charged Beyonce's production firm Parkwood Entertainment of 'impermissible use and violation' of the firm's intellectual property rights.
'Beyoncé - many orders of magnitude larger than the Sphere venue - leans over, picks up the venue, and looms over it,' wrote lawyer Kathleen McCarthy in the 'cease-and-desist' letter.
'SEG was never asked and the prominent appearance and manipulation of SEG's Sphere venue in the video is unauthorized,' he added.
According to the lawyers, Beyonce's firm has not taken any permission, sparking 'significant speculation' that the concert will finish with a residency at the venue.

The corporation has been directed to avoid using the Sphere venue in the video immediately, as well as 'refraining from using this imagery on any merchandise, promotional or marketing materials, or in tour movies.'
Dolan and his team have given Beyoncé a Monday deadline to take down the pictures from her performances.
As per Dolan's SEG, it 'reserves all rights to take further action' if she doesn't comply.
Beyoncé began her Cowboy Carter tour on April 28 and will be performing all over the world until July 26.
Earlier this week, Beyonce stunned the star-studded audience in Inglewood, California after her tour was prematurely labeled a 'flop.'
During her amazing performance, she created an emotional moment by bringing her seven-year-old daughter Rumi and her 13-year-old eldest child, Blue Ivy, on the stage.

Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bündchen's secret plastic surgery strategy in Paris sparked cultural backlash and personal regret
Gisele Bündchen faced backlash for allegedly wearing a burqa in Paris (Getty Images) In 2015, global supermodel Gisele Bündchen found herself at the center of a media storm after reports surfaced that she flew to Paris under the radar to undergo plastic surgery. But it wasn't the cosmetic procedure alone that drew widespread criticism—it was the strategy she allegedly employed to stay hidden. Supermodel wears burqa to conceal plastic surgery visit, violating French law According to a report by Page Six, Bündchen and her sister arrived at a renowned plastic surgery clinic in Paris wearing full-body burqas—an attempt to avoid paparazzi attention. The move was especially controversial because France had officially banned full-face veils in public back in 2010. Critics were quick to point out the legal and cultural insensitivity of using religious attire as a disguise, especially in a country where such garments are hotly debated and legislated against. Ironically, the attempt at anonymity failed. The model was reportedly identified by the driver who accompanied her—someone long associated with her public appearances. To add to the confusion, observers noted that Bündchen wore sandals with her burqa, a detail that clashed with traditional Muslim dress codes and helped fuel the media frenzy. Gisele Bündchen opens up years later about the pressure behind her decision While the controversial Paris visit remained mostly unaddressed at the time, Bündchen later confirmed undergoing breast augmentation in her 2018 memoir Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo She candidly shared the emotional toll that external criticism had taken on her after becoming a mother. 'When I showed up for jobs, some people would make comments, indirectly or more pointedly. 'What happened to your boobs?' they would say, or 'Your boobs have gotten so small!'' Bündchen wrote. These remarks pushed her toward the decision to have surgery. 'Unfortunately, I chose to give attention to the comments I was hearing,' she admitted. But the transformation didn't bring her peace. 'I became uncomfortable with the size of my breasts. I felt angry and depressed. Why did I do this to myself?' Also Read: Tom Brady's loss?
