Beyonce is suing a company named Feyonce Inc.

Feyonce Inc have been using Beyonce lyrics and the word ‘Feyonce’ on clothing. Queen Bey ain’t happy about it, claiming the products damage her brand. She’s filled a lawsuit after Beyonce Inc have ignored previous requests to stop selling the products.

The lawsuit states: ‘Defendants adopted the Feyonce mark to call to mind Beyonce and her famous song… Seeking to capitalize on the notoriety of 'Single Ladies,' with its famous lines 'put a ring on it,' Defendants are selling merchandise bearing the 'FEYONCÉ' mark - a misspelling of 'fiancé' intended to call to mind Beyoncé and her famous song. Some of Defendants’ merchandise even bear the lyrics 'put a ring on it' further solidifying the connection between Beyoncé and the unauthorized products.’
