London, Oct 23 (ANI): Wrestling legend Paul Heyman has slammed Rihanna for copying his idea of being wrapped up in barbed wire for her latest track Russian Roulette.
Heyman has posted pics on his Heyman Hustle website to prove how Rihanna has ripped off the idea from his 1998 cover jacket featuring a grappler called Sandman.
The Sun quoted him as saying: “It’s pretty obvious this was copied from, or at least EXTREMELY inspired by the ECW album cover.
“From the barbed wire and the right arm up in the air to the blood dripping off the logo.
“Hey, I don’t blame them. If you’re going to copy someone, copy from the best.
“By the way, Rihanna… you’re welcome!” (ANI)
