Watch out; you don’t want to get Beyoncé or her team “Heated.” After fashion and art designer Nusi Quero alleged that Beyoncé’s team did not pay him for the cover of the Renaissance album, Bey’s team responded.
In an open letter to Marni Senofote (Beyoncé’s stylist), the designer alleged he wasn’t paid for numerous amount of projects, including Renaissance.
He said, “As a stylist for B, I really expected the best from you and your team. But since you won’t responded 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.”
Now Beyoncé’s publicist has entered the chat to clear up the rumors and shared a statement with Entertainment Tonight.
“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.”
The publicist says that all efforts were made to pay Quero.
“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. The second payment, a fifty percent down payment on the agreed cost, was made via wire on July 8, 2022. The third and final payment was returned when he changed his account number,” the statement continued. “It was returned as an invalid account number based on an error on his part.”
The statement concluded, “After persistent and exhausting communication to get the correct information on his account and two unsuccessful wire transfer attempts, a physical check was mailed to him for final payment on September 29, 2022.”
Since Thursday, Quero has deleted his comments directed toward Queen Bee’s team.
