Lil Wayne’s Trukfit clothing line is being sued by a model that appears on one of the brand’s shirts.

In legal documents obtained by TMZ, Shanise Taylor admits to posing for a photo shoot in 2011 but says she was never aptly informed that the shots were intended
for commercial use by the brand.

Then, earlier this year, Taylor says that she spotted her photograph on a Trukfit shirt. She claims that the brand had altered the original photo to make it look like she wasn’t wearing any underwear.

Taylor claims that she never signed off on the brand using her image and says she would never want her photograph “on apparel associated with misogyny and violence.”

She has subsequently enlisted the assistance of Miami-based law firm Mase Lara to help her fight the case against Lil Wayne and Trukfit. Taylor says she has been humiliated and in addition to seeking an unspecified amount of damages, she wants the shirt to be discontinued.

A picture of the photograph in question can be viewed below, via TMZ.
