Aaron Carter sparks outrage after artist accuses him of stealing work aaroncarter, jojoesart – InstagramAmerican rapper, songwriter and actor Aaron Carter is facing mass backlash after reportedly stealing the artwork of 25-year-old Berlin-based artist Jonas J\u00f6dicke for use on a hoodie. Skyrocketing to fame in the 1990s, Carter has since taken to promoting his own line of merchandise, one item of which featured a painting of two lions butting heads in the shape of a heart. While Carter was unfazed about peddling the hoodie \u2014 and the artwork upon it \u2014 on Twitter, the original artist of the piece was not as enthused, calling out rapper for blatant theft of his work for use in his own clothing line. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BKVkQ23ACoT\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link \u201cHey @aaroncarter\u2026 You are using my artwork to promote your merchandise,\u201d 25-year old Jonas J\u00f6dicke wrote in response to Carter\u2019s post. \u201cI have not given you permission to do so.
