Photographer Breanna Seward is calling out rapper Quavo after he failed to give her credit for a photo she snapped of him back in 2019. 

After she disclosed that Quavo didn't tag her when he reposted the photo to his Instagram page, the 25-year-old garnered support from Twitter users and other photographers, saying they can relate.

According to Buzzfeed News, Seward was working as a photographer at New York Fashion Week in Sept. 2019 when she took the photo of Quavo outside of an event.

Initially, she was unaware that Quavo had shared the photo, but it was brought to her attention by friends who saw that Motown Records had also reshared the image a week later, again, uncredited.  

"At the time I was hurt that they just took the photo from my page without thinking twice about tagging me so I commented on the photo itself," Seward said.

Some Twitter users suggested that Seward use watermarks on her photos to help mitigate the risk of copyright infringement. 

"I do use them [watermarks] now but they can be distracting from the story being told," she said.
"This is the only time it happened it me, I just wonder if they would have used the photo if there was a watermark."

The incident comes as Black creatives fight to receive credit for their work, specifically on TikTok where users have gone overshadowed by their white counterparts, as Blavity previously reported.
