It looks like Rihanna might have another lawsuit coming her way!

Last week the singer released her You Da One video and it bares a striking resemblance to famous photographer Sølve Sundsbø's work.

In case you forgot, David LaChapelle sued RiRi earlier this year for copying his photography concepts in her S&M music video. The lawsuit was settled in October for an undisclosed amount of money.

Coincidentally both the S&M and You Da One music videos were directed by Melina Matsoukas.

Maybe it's time to start working with directors that have original ideas.
