Safe to say Beyoncé isn't crazy in love with these guys.
The R&B babe is on the warpath against a bunch of unnamed vendors who have been peddling pirated CDs and merchandise "in the vicinity" of her concerts during her world tour.
She dispatched her legal team to federal court in New York to crack down on the 100 John and Jane Does, saying they've been making money at her expense. Aside from a lawsuit, the 27-year-old songbird also wants an injunction to keep the street hawkers away from her June 21-22 gigs at Madison Square Garden.
The Fierce singer's rep could not be reached for comment on the legal action.
Aside from protecting her booty, she's also tuning up to perform at this year's BET Awards June 28 in Los Angeles, where she's nominated for five prizes.
