"Matthew [Knowles] has a long history of trying to get songwriters to add Beyoncé's name to songs she didn't compose, just so she gets publishing royalties,"
This sort of thing happens in the music industry all the time. I think almost every female pop diva is guilty of taking credit for something they didn't significantly contribute to from time to time. Madonna, Janet, Jennifer, Avril, Gwen...the list goes on. It's all about keeping up the appearance of credibility.
I heard about this too...I think it's pretty true.
n the Vanity Fair article, Beyonce also claims to have “written” seven No. 1 songs. Again, not exactly. Her name is on them all. But “Independent Woman, Pt. 1” was authored by Samuel J. Barnes and Jean Claude Olivier, tweaked by producer Cory Rooney and added to by …Beyonce. Olivier and Barnes also worked on constructing Jennifer Lopez’s “Jenny from the Block.”
“Say My Name,” a big Destiny’s Child hit, was written by Rodney Jerkins, his brother Freddie and Rodney’s writing partner LeShawn Daniels. The names of the four girls from the group were added again, so they could share in the collection of royalties.
death why wont she learn to write instead of cheating her way thru and plagiarizing? would save her being put on blast all the
time
yea beyonce is amazing and by far one of the best EVER... BUT.....................a song writer she is not.... if she were doing the same thing in elementary school or community college she would have been expelled eons ago for the continual blatant plagurism......
