Beyoncé's "COWBOY CARTER" tour has sparked controversy as Sphere Entertainment CEO James Dolan issued a cease and desist letter over a video interlude featuring Beyoncé picking up the Las Vegas Sphere. The letter accuses Beyoncé of unauthorized use of Sphere Entertainment Group's intellectual property, leading to speculation about a potential residency. Beyoncé's team has until May 5th to stop using Sphere imagery in the concert video, or further action will be taken. The tour, which kicked off in Los Angeles, includes stops in various North American cities and European dates in London and Paris.
