Lil Nas X is being accused of using artist Dana Dentata’s ‘Pantychirst’ album and artwork as a basis for his ‘Lil’ Nas X Gives Birth’ video. The artist is threatening to file a copyright infringement lawsuit if the parties can’t negotiate a settlement.

Dentata is also asking for Lil’ Nas X to immediately stop the distribution of the ‘Gives Birth’ video on YouTube.

Dana Dentata [Dana Wright] fired off a cease and desist letter to Lil Nas X and his management, claiming he used “copyrighted material” which is “essentially identical to the ‘Pantychrist’ music video and clearly used the work as its basis.”

“Additionally, the sonogram image your client released, as well as the photographs depicting him as pregnant wearing a prosthetic stomach in promotion of Montero, which appears on Instagram and in People Magazine, are also nearly identical and, again, clearly used my client’s works as their basis,” the letter reads.

“I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing works derived from the works, and all copies, including electronic copies, of same, that you deliver to me, if applicable, all unused, undistributed copies of same, or destroy such copies immediately and that you desist from this or any other infringement of her rights in the future,” the C & D states.
“It is inconceivable that you would wish to jeopardize your artist’s public image, and reputation by your client falsely claiming he created this copyrighted content.”
 

Dentata hired celebrity lawyer, Perry C. Wander, who blasted Lil Nas X saying, “Lil Nas, desperate not to be a one-hit-wonder, swagger jacked my client’s music video story and stole her struggle sauce and artistic vision to avoid a sophomore slump. Dana is a genuine and authentic artist.”

Mothers beware, the genuine and authentic artist, Dana Dentata, is prepared to take you to court if you happen to rip her off and plagerize her work by giving birth

Queen of inventing the concept of pregnancy

Queen of giving birth in a hospital

but concept of being pregnant with an album isn't new or innovative

to be honest the way they both executed this theme is not that original, and has been done before a lot of times, now the artist instagram posts being identical too makes it suspicious, even more that he used the same make up artist lol

The concept of giving birth to an Album is not anything new. It literally started with people making memes of Artists pregnant with their next Album or making jokes about due dates etc. The Concept of Birth also has been used in music for decades. Let‘s be real, this is just a thing to get clicks.
