In January 2020, German artist Jonas Jödicke pointed out to Carter on Twitter that Carter was making unauthorized use of Jödicke's copyrighted artwork to promote Carter's clothing merchandise. Carter responded to Jödicke, tweeting: "you should've taken it as a compliment dick 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 aaroncarter.com guess I'll see you in small claims court FUCKERY". Following the incident, Jödicke was interviewed by "Forbes", saying he was "absolutely amazed" at Carter's response.
