The powerful images created for each step you Iron Maiden has given in his career are an icon of heavy metal and art in general, with Eddie, the historical figure associated with the band, as the main protagonist. One of Eddie’s popular versions has been reproduced by a young rapper for the cover of his new album, and Iron Maiden has denounced what seems to be a clear plagiarism of one of the images used in the recording stage. ‘Powerslave’.
OsamaSon is the rapper he would have taken for the cover of the deluxe edition published in February of his album ‘Flex Musix’ the well-known image of Eddie looking like a mummy biting a chain while being struck by lightning. As reproduced by Kurrco news portalOsamaSon’s album would have adapted this image with slight modifications to Eddie’s figure to resemble the artist by adding dreadlocks and changing the color palette of the diamonds used by Derek Riggs to darker and more saturated tones.
The same portal shows the capture of a story uploaded to the rapper networks in which he simply seems to admit the facts and cites the British band’s alleged lawsuit: “Iron Maiden sued me, so… the cover is gone.”
It should be noted that OsamaSon currently has nearly half a million monthly listeners on Spotify, with his most popular song, “X&Sex”, exceeding seven million views. Precisely this song has a video clip in which, as also appears in Kurrco’s publication, you can see the young artist wearing an Asian extreme t-shirt Facelift Deformationa style that the rapper shows off in his logo and pieces of merchandising.
