Beyoncé and her team have berated a fashion and art designer who claimed the singer never fully paid him for his work on the singer’s newest album, Renaissance.
Track News Nigeria learnt that Nusi Quero, a fashion and art designer, alleged Beyoncé’s stylist, Marni Senofonte, is owing him.
His words, in an open letter on Instagram earlier this week, are: “As a stylist for B, I really expected the best from you and your team. But since you won’t respond to texts and emails I supposed this is the final venue I can utilize before legal means to settle your outstanding balances, that you’ve owed me and my collaborator for about 3 months.
“Marni paid a 50 percent deposit to me for one of the three jobs, (not the album cover), nothing more, and it took over a month to get it to us.”
BUT, Beyonce and her team reacted angrily to this in their responses.
They explained that Quero was not only paid in full for his work but the payments may have been delayed due to his own bank problems.
Beyonce’s team noted in a statement to Page Six: “It is deeply troubling that designer Nusi Quero has posted damaging statements about Marni Senofonte regarding non-payments for work completed.
“In fact, he was paid for his work, and there is proof of all payments made.
“We have been in communication with his team and there were three payments made to him.
“The first payment was made on May 9, 2022.”
Beyoncé’s rep further added that Quero’s accusations are “completely false” and his payments only took slower than usual because he was experiencing “issues with his bank.”
Beyonce’s rep stressed: “The second payment, a fifty percent down payment on the agreed cost, was made via wire on July 8, 2022.
