US singer Ariana Grande is in a bit of trouble after being slapped with a lawsuit for her 'God Is A Woman' music video. 

Channel24 reports that the '7 Rings' star is being sued by "surrealist artist and sculptor Vladimir Kush after allegedly ripping off his imagery". The artist wants Grande to remove the video which has had millions of views since being posted on YouTube back in July 2018.

Kush said that the candle imagery with Grande inside the flame used in the video resembles two of his paintings, The Candle and The Candle Two, which were painted about 20 years ago. He says that the imagery was used without his consent.

Take a look at the side-by-side comparison between the painting and the music video:

Two of Ariana Grande's songs feature on the East Coast Radio Top 40. '7 Rings' is at number 26, while 'Thank U, Next' is at number 33.
