Did Beyonce steal a song
(MENAFN- Arab News) LOS ANGELES: Pop sensation Beyonce is being sued by a backing singer for $7 million after it was claimed the star had plagiarised her music to write her hit song XO.
The 33-year-old star and her company Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records have been taken to court over her hit XO after Ahmad Lane filed a federal lawsuit claiming she had stolen the music for the track.
Ahmad alleged that Beyonce's current backing singer Chrissy Collins gave her a copy of his song XOXO after he passed on the track to her when the pair were working together for another artist.
However the Grammy Award-winner has vehemently denied the claims in court documents.
'The two works at issue are entirely different songs that share no lyrical or musical similarity other than perhaps the letters X and O' the response read. 'The two songs are distinct from a thematic perspective.
They have different melodic content and there is no meaningful similarity in pitch series rhythm or rhythmic patterns melodic development or structure.'
