Beyonce has sued feyonceshop.com, saying she has nothing to do with the merchandise it hawks.

The 34-year-old singer is demanding the site to cease and desist from selling all the merchandise with the 'Feyonce' mark, which is already on t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and much more, reports TMZ.com.

According to the 'Naughty Girl' hit-maker, the site is even using the same font as her self-titled album.

Documents stated that Beyonce thinks "it is too close to a play on her name and the word fiancee."

She even feels that the people behind the online store are even trying to trademark Feyonce, which confuses the marketplace and damages her brand.
