Do not mess with the biggest musicians in the entire world.
That's a lesson that Parisian fashion brand ElevenParis had to learn the hard way.
Beyoncé, Jay Z, Rihanna and Pharrell Williams are filing a joint lawsuit against the company for using their trademarks, names, likenesses and images on merchandise for profit without permission.

The products, which range from T-shirts and sweatshirts to phone cases and hats, bear photos of the musicians, their lyrics, and phrases like "Kanye Is My Homie" or "Pharrell Is My Brotha."

The 96-page filing includes biographies of the celebrities, along with information about the official merchandise on their respective personal websites.
Other celebrities have fallen "victim" to ElevenParis; the company is currently selling Karl Lagerfeld and Iggy Azalea shirts as well. And it's not the first time the brand has been threatened with legal action for its merchandise.
"Even after receiving warnings to cease and desist from selling the infringing products and to further cease and desist from using plantiffs' names, images, likenesses, and/or trademarks, Defendants continue to sell unauthorized products," the document states.
Despite the unlawful use of trademarks, ElevenParis has often been a celebrity favorite; Kylie Jenner, Chris Brown and Snoop Dogg are among a group of famous fans.

In a strange twist, Solange Knowles -- Bey's sister -- appears in the brand's spring/summer 2015 campaign ads.

The A-list squad is requesting that the company stop producing any products bearing their names, likenesses or images -- as well as compensation for damages, profit made and costs of trial (no precise numbers are listed).
Nobody wants the wrath of Beyoncé.
