Beyonce and her father are thieves, tbh.
i've been pretty vocal about how i hate it when beyonce gets so much recognition, when actually she's a proven thief just to get song credits and it seems like another song writer has spoken about it! and her father is known for paying off award shows and stuff to get her awards, so i got past that a while ago. she even takes credit for single ladies, which the producer revealed she had nothing to do with and ironically she won 'song of the year' at the grammys for it, which goes to composers.
Quote:
Some people may choose to turn a blind eye to it, but it’s no secret that superstar diva Beyonce has a reputation for lying about her abilities as a songwriter, and has even been proven on multiple occasions to have not written some of the music that has her name on the credits.
Well now popular producer Rob Fusari (best known for working with Lady GaGa) has publicly put Beyonce and her father Mathew Knowles on blast for lying about the #1 hit “Bootylicious”, which Fusari wrote and produced back in 2001 when he first trying to make a name for himself in the industry.
I came up with the idea to build a track using the guitar riff from Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen.” I really wanted to play the riff from “Eye of the Tiger,” but I was flipping through my CDs in the studio and I couldn’t find it. But I saw the Stevie Nicks CD and I remembered that the riff was similar.
I figured I’d put the guitar loop on there temporarily, and later go into the studio with a guitar and replay it, because I’d learned, after sampling Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” for Will Smith’s “Wild Wild West,” that I didn’t want to lose 50% of the publishing. I vividly remember telling Mathew Knowles, “Mathew, you got to book me into your studio and let me replay that riff.” It was Guitar 101! One note!
He didn’t want to do it. So 50% got cut for one note. That whole experience was bittersweet for me.
He then continues, recalling an incident in which he saw Beyonce on TV taking credit for the song, which then led to an altercation with her father Mathew.
I remember watching Barbara Walters interview Beyoncé about “Bootylicious,” and she told Barbara about how she came up with the idea for the track. And I was just like, “What?” I called Mathew-which was a big mistake; I got emotional, and I apologized after-but I called Mathew and said, “Mathew, like, why?”
And he explained to me, in a nice way, he said, “People don’t want to hear about Rob Fusari, producer from Livingston, N.J. No offense, but that’s not what sells records. What sells records is people believing that the artist is everything.” And I’m like, “Yeah, I know, Mathew. I understand the game. But come on, I’m trying too. I’m a squirrel trying to get a nut, too.”
