“Right now I feel disturbed because they sued me for copyright infringement. I was sued for copyright infringement by Jenni Rivera, I was sued for having used her image and I was shocked. Right now I owe her millions of dollars for having imitated her,” explained Yeri Mua.
“Especially since I dressed up, and I put on a dress that she had used, they took it as copyright infringement. Now yes, well, I no longer do any impersonation of a famous person, in one of those I would end up in jail,” said the content creator.
