Beyonce criticizes the designer who claimed that her stylist wasn’t paid in full for his services.

A fashion and art designer alleged Beyoncé and her crew never paid him in full for his work on the singer’s most recent album, Renaissance. Beyoncé and her team have responded by disputing his claims. A fashion and art designer named Nusi Quero said Marni Senofonte, Beyoncé’s stylist, owes him money.
As a stylist for B, he stated: “As a member of your team, I genuinely expected the best from you and your staff earlier this week in an open letter on Instagram. But because you ignore my texts and emails, I figured this was the last opportunity I had before turning to the law to get the money you owe my partner and I and have been owing us for nearly three months.
For one of the three jobs (not the album cover), Marni gave me a 50% deposit but nothing else, and it took more than a month to deliver it to us.
Currently, Beyonce and her crew have replied. They clarified that Quero was not only fully compensated for his services but that payments may have been postponed as a result of his personal financial issues.
According to a statement to Page Six from Beyonce’s team: “The fact that fashion designer Nusi Quero wrote negative remarks about Marni Senofonte regarding unpaid labour is extremely upsetting.
“He was, in fact, paid for his job, and all payments were supported by documentation.
“Three payments were given to him, and we’ve been in touch with his team.
“On May 9, 2022, the first payment was made.”
The representative for Beyoncé went on to say that Quero’s claims are “totally incorrect” and that the only reason his payments were delayed was because he was having “problems with his bank.”
The second payment, which represented a 50% down payment on the negotiated price, was made through wire on July 8, 2022, according to Beyonce’s representative.
“When he updated his account number, the third and final payment was returned. Due to a mistake on his part, it was returned as an invalid account number, the representative for Beyoncé said.
A physical check was mailed to him for final payment on September 29, 2022, “after persistent and exhausting communication to get the correct information on his account and two unsuccessful wire transfer efforts.”
Since then, Quero has removed his charges from Instagram.
