Performing at Tyler The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw event at Dodgers Stadium in LA, Kanye West and Kid Cudi took to the stage in the form their Kids See Ghosts project, performing from a glass box that looked incredibly similar to the one Lorde has used, as far back as 2017 – and she is having none of it.
Taking to Instagram, the New Zealander posted pics on her story of her stage with the comment; “I’m proud of the work I do, and it’s flattering when other artists feel inspired by it, to the extent that they choose to try it on themselves. But don’t steal—not from women or anyone else—not in 2018 or ever.”

It isn’t the first time Kanye has found himself in hot water over ‘borrowing’ someones design work. Back in May it was alleged he copied sketches from Nike’s former designer Tony Spackman, whilst his Yeezy 6 photoshoot drew many comparisons to artist Rita Minissi’s work. Kanye and Cudi are yet to respond to Lorde.Kanye and Cudi are yet to respond to Lorde.
