Rapper Swings
has come out strongly against a section of the adult industry for suing his images illegally to promote their hotel services. Taking to his handle, the star shared a couple of
screenshots
expressing his displeasure over the misuse of his images.
The screenshots were advertisements for adult services being offered at hotels mostly involved in prostitution rackets.
“I understand the influence that I may have, but these b**tards… Hurry up and take it down,"
Swings
commented on the top of the uploaded poster.
According to reports, it was not the first time that the adult company used his image. It was reported on Korean news portals that the rapper first learned about the company via fans and friends who recognized his face and brought it to his attention.
Not only is it illegal for the
business
to use his face without his permission, but the business itself is also illegal. The advertisement was put up for a sort of hotel that is commonly utilized for short stays. The common intended use is for a businessperson who requires a quiet room, a nap, a shower, and other amenities. However, it has been noted that many of these establishments are also engaging in prostitution rackets in the shadows.
This isn’t the first time an adult business has utilized a celebrity’s face for marketing purposes. Fans of the rapper have hailed his move to call out these miscreants and expressed their hope that such things do not happen again.
It is still unclear if Swings will go the legal way and file charges against the business. Meanwhile, reports state that the company has not yet issued an apology nor shown signs of taking down the ads.
On the work front, Swings has been making waves since joining
Psy
’s company P Nation as one of its artists.
