As previously noted, a graphic designer with the Twitter handle @salsaboiii wrote that former WWE star Chelsea Green used one of his creations without giving him credit.

Green issued a statement regarding the matter…

“It’s super unfortunate how this has been handled. I think artists deserve credit. Period. After reading some of the nasty tweets, I didn’t feel reposting the art was something that I should do as clearly the artists view of me had soured. I support my artists. I pay my artists. I have been doing that since I started on the independent scene because I myself was a starving artist & I know the struggle. It’s really sad that an oversight on my part has lead to this, but I wish the artist luck and I think it’s best that I stick to the artists who I have used in the past and who know the person I am.”

Green later posted the graphic with credit…

Green ended up trending on Twitter because of the story.
