Two models are suing Roc Nation over billboard ads for Megan Thee Stallion's swimwear line. Janelle Delacruz and Tonoia Wade claim their promotional photos, shot for the Hot Girl Summer brand launch, were used far beyond their contracts. The agreements reportedly limited image usage to social media, but the pictures later appeared on billboards in Los Angeles and other cities.
The models argue that this unauthorized expansion of their likenesses enriched Roc Nation unjustly. They are seeking damages for breach of contract and misappropriation. Megan Thee Stallion herself is not named in the lawsuits. The models' attorney stated they plan to aggressively pursue the case, framing Roc Nation's actions as particularly egregious. The situation highlights ongoing tensions in advertising about usage rights and contractual boundaries for hired talent.
