Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment and Chloe Bailey Face $15 Million Copyright Lawsuit from Kanye West Collaborator

Okay, I need to shorten this article to about 600 words and add some pictures. Let me start by reading through the original content to understand the key points.

The main story is about Beyoncé’s company, Parkwood Entertainment, being sued by Melvin Moore (4Rest) for copyright infringement related to Chloe Bailey’s album. There are details about the lawsuit, the specific songs involved, the damages sought, and some background on Moore’s work with other artists like Kanye West. There’s also mention of a source saying Beyoncé is upset and some context about Parkwood Entertainment.

First, I need to condense each paragraph, keeping only the essential information. The original has multiple images with captions, so I should note where to place them in the shortened version. The user wants some pictures added, but since I can’t actually include images, I’ll mention them with captions as placeholders.

I’ll start with the lawsuit against Parkwood, mention the plaintiff, the allegations, the specific songs, and the damages. Then include the source about Beyoncé’s reaction. Next, background on Moore’s career and his work with Kanye, tying in the existing feud. Mention the Instagram post by Tiffany Red and the context about Parkwood’s other projects.

I need to check the word count as I go. Let me make sure to remove redundant information, like repeated mentions of the same lawsuit points. Also, some details about the previous case against Jay-Z and Diddy were dropped, so that’s just context but maybe not essential. The key focus is on the current lawsuit against Beyoncé’s company.

I should structure the article with clear subheadings to break up the text, like "Lawsuit Details," "Beyoncé’s Reaction," "Moore’s Background," and "Parkwood Entertainment Overview." Each section will have a couple of paragraphs. Ensure that the images are placed near relevant sections with captions.

Avoiding any markdown, just plain text with image placeholders. Let me start drafting each section concisely, keeping the important facts and trimming unnecessary details. Check for flow and coherence, making sure the shortened version still tells the full story without missing critical points.

Finally, verify the word count to be around 600 words. If it’s over, I’ll look for more areas to condense, like combining sentences or removing less relevant info (e.g., specific revenue numbers unless crucial). Ensure all key parties and legal claims are included.
Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment Sued for Copyright Infringement Amid Legal Turmoil

Beyoncé’s company, Parkwood Entertainment, faces a $15 million lawsuit from Grammy-nominated artist Melvin Moore (aka 4Rest), who claims his work was used without permission on Chloe Bailey’s 2025 album Trouble in Paradise. The lawsuit, filed in New York, alleges copyright infringement, fraudulent misrepresentation, and DMCA violations, adding to legal drama days after a separate rape case against Jay-Z and Diddy was dismissed.

Lawsuit Details
Moore, 39, asserts he contributed lyrics, melodies, and creative direction to three tracks on Bailey’s album: Favorite, Might As Well, and Same Lingerie. He claims Bailey and Parkwood ignored his cease-and-desist notices before releasing the songs. Same Lingerie, inspired by a past relationship, was allegedly based on his original demos. Moore seeks $5 million per song in punitive damages, plus statutory fines up to $150,000 per infringement. Columbia Records, Sony Music, and others are also named in the suit.

Beyoncé’s Reaction
A source told DailyMail.com that Beyoncé is “incensed” by the lawsuit, calling it a “terrible look” for her label. Tensions reportedly grew between Parkwood and Bailey before the filing, with insiders fearing a repeat of the costly Marvin Gaye estate lawsuit that impacted Robin Thicke’s career.
