Beyonce is being sued for $7million
Beyonce is being sued by a backing singer for US $7 million after it was claimed the star had plagiarized 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 alleges 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 obtained by Radar Online.
The response reads: "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 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."
The 'Crazy In Love' hitmaker also states that Ahmad hasn't filed a "copyright registration" for his track and asks for the $7 million payment to be dropped.

Jay-Z: Uh
Beyonce: Hi hat
Jay-Z: Uh
Beyonce: 808
Jay-Z: Uh
Beyonce: Jay
Jay-Z: Uh-huh, ready? Uh-huh
Beyonce: Let's go get 'em
Jay-Z: Uh huh, C'mon
Jay-Z:
I used to run base like Juan Pierre
Now I run the bass hi hat and the snare
I used to bag girls like Birkin Bags
Now I bag B (Beyonce: Boy you hurtin' that)
Brooklyn Bay where they birthed me at
Now I be everywhere the nerve of rap
The audacity to have me whippin curtains back
Me and B, she about to sting
Stand back
Beyonce:
Baby...
Seems like everywhere I go I see you
From your eyes, your smile it's like I breathe you
Helplessy I reminisce don't want to
Compare nobody to you
