Aaron Carter had a shocking meltdown after a Berlin artist accused him of ripping off artwork to promote his clothing line.
The singer launched a tirade against Jonas Jödicke after the artist called him out on social media for not asking for permission.
‘Hey @aaroncarter .. You are using my artwork to promote your merchandise. I have not given you permission to do so,’ Jonas tweeted at Carter on Friday. ‘My art is being commercially exploited by people on a daily basis. We artists have rights, too!’
The tweet caused Aaron to react in anger, telling Jonas he should have taken it ‘as a compliment’.
The 32-year-old ranted: ‘You should’ve taken it as a compliment d**k a fan of MINE sent this to me.
‘Oh here they go again, the answer is No this image has been made public and im using it to promote my clothing line http://aaroncarter.com guess I’ll see you in small claims court F***ERY.’
The original image in question had one white lion and one black lion come head to head.
Hey @aaroncarter .. You are using my artwork to promote your merchandise. I have not given you permission to do so. My art is being commercially exploited by people on a daily basis. We artists have rights, too!
Iˋd really appreciate if you could retweet this so he‘ll see it. https://t.co/ktusJEo3dz

Despite the insults from the I’m All About You singer, Jonas responded with a comparison photo of his growth as an artist.
He tweeted: ‘Here‘s to all the artists working their butts of everyday to improve and make their dreams become reality. @aaroncarter and others may think we shake these off our sleeves in no time, but noone gets to see the tears and sweat we put into our passion. #ArtTheftIsAbuse’
Aaron later deleted the image of Jonas’ art, but Jödicke claimed Aaron went on to attack him in a YouTube livestream.
Unfortunately, Aaron didn’t stop his attacks there.
Responding to Jonas’ comparison artwork photos, the singer tweeted: ‘Here’s too clout chasers I was speaking about my family and a fan sent me the work your absolutely immature and I create my own artwork.

‘Stop trying to get clout of my name from a picture I posted. oh and f**k you and have a nice day. #a**holechallenge I promote people #F**kery.’
Jonas went on to tell fans he’d update them as the situation goes on as he is ‘considering his options’ when it comes to lawyering up.
‘I am incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support I received those last two days,’ he thanked people. ‘So many messages and new followers! There were also many orders in my etsy shop.
‘If you purchased something, please be patient with me. It will take a bit for all orders to be sent out.’
