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.

SONG OF THE CHAPTER- Deja Vu




Beyonce: Bass

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
