Eymun says he created a comic book in 2014 that revolved around R&B and rap stars. TMZ reports that according to the suit, Eymun had a discussion with the singer about using Starboy in his comic book.

Eymun says his and the singer’s comics have a near identical premise. He’s suing for compensation and wants all copies of the singer’s comics recalled, impounded and destroyed.
