The estate of Anthony Barre, better known as Messy Mya, is suing Beyonc for $20 million, claiming that the superstar lifted portions of Myas "Booking the Hoes From New Wildings" and A 27 Piece Huh. The suit claims that Beyonc sampled Mya's voice and lyrics, including as "What happened at the New Orleans" and "B***h, I'm back by popular demand" for her song Formation. The estate states it has "received nothingno acknowledgment, no credit no remuneration of any kind" and asserts that they attempted to reach out to Beyonc and never heard back.
Barre's estate (primarily Myas sister) is suing Queen Bey for royalties, and Sony Music and Jay Z are also named in the suit. Myas sister is also seeking proper credit as a writer, composer, producer and performer" for her brother. New Orleans artist Messy Mya was known for his music and YouTube following before he was tragically murdered in 2010.
Listening to both the Bookings and Formation videos, it is fairly obvious that Myas voice kicks off Formation, and it will be hard for Beyonc and her counsel to refute it. Beyonc could be in big trouble if a judge determines that Myas lyrics and voice were used without permission. If so, Beys counsel might try to reach a settlement that includes remuneration and proper credit. Beyonc might have thought that this was an homage to Mya, but the estate thinks otherwise.

There are terms and conditions on YT that clearly state free use. There is no case. They were credited. Next.

She's just lying. Notice how Beyonce is on every writing credit and she probably only contributed 1%.

Obvious? If its so obvious then why are these cases literally always thrown out? Ill wait.
And explain how did she plagiarize if she credited her source?

I think it's beyond disgusting how you always keep on defending her obvious plagiarism. You really ought to be ashamed of yourself. You probably cheated your way out of things your whole life. Just like that fake monster you blindly worship.

Messy Mya is credited on Lemonade though
Another case that will be thrown out.

Her plagiarism is just as bad as Madonna's.

Welp. That's a pretty damning case.
Sony Music and
Jay Z
are also named in the suit.
But why, though? He has nothing to do with the "Formation" video.
Here's to the mess we make.
