Earlier this year Instagram model Iryna Ivanova launched a case against the producer after she claimed she wasn\u2019t paid after she acted as the \u2018main girl\u2019 in his video with Justin Bieber.<\/p>\n
Narrowly avoiding a July date in the small claims court in the US, last month the suit was settled and Iryna was paid what she was owed, after originally agreeing to a fee of $1,250 (\u00a3959) for riding in on a white horse on a bikini in the shoot, filmed in February 2017.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ll remember \u2013 and odds are you\u2019ve seen, as the video has so far clocked up more than one billion views \u2013 Iryna was the bikini-clad model who rode in on a horse as DJ Khaled danced around a swanky beachside mansion with mates Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper and Lil Wayne.<\/p>\n
The model, 31, spoke to press in the wake of the settlement about how she wants to be the cautionary tale to other women at risk of being taken advantage of in the music industry.<\/p>\n
\u2018We finally sorted everything out after about a year,\u2019 she told us, about the lengthy battle to get her due pay. \u2018It\u2019s more the principle than the money.<\/p>\n
\u2018It wasn\u2019t that much, it was the fact it seemed like it happened a lot [that women didn\u2019t get paid].\u2019<\/p>\n
The Russian born and bred model \u2013 who now splits her time between Spain and Arizona \u2013 sports a massive following on Instagram with 4.4million fans and floods her feed with bikini shots and pouts a-plenty.<\/p>\n
However, she wants people to know that while she\u2019s a social media model, her voice is here to be heard just as loud as anyone else\u2019s as she explains to us how she landed the plum equine-centred role.<\/p>\n
\u2018They reached out to me on Instagram [and asked] if I wanted to be the lead \u2013 and they needed me to be there in eight hours. I lived in Arizona and it was in California,\u2019 she said. \u2018It wasn\u2019t a problem, I bought my own ticket did my own makeup and hair.\u2019<\/p>\n
However, when it came to the fee, she said: \u2018There was a certain price that was agreed to be paid to me right after the shoot and video was done, I reached out multiple times to get paid and<\/p>\n
nobody answered me via email, via text.<\/p>\n
