Actually, no. There's only one, sorta... not really.... He wasn't calling her a credit thief. He responded to a question about Beyoncé producing Bootylicious. He said he was the one who found the guitar riff, not Bey, then he got into the politics of the industry. But Beyoncé never claimed to have found the guitar riff tho, she just said she heard it and reminded her of a voluptuous woman. The lyrics were obviously written by a 19 year old... "Vibealacious"...
And the other case, again, Neyo was responding to people telling him Beyoncé took credit (when she'd mentioned Neyo in several interviews before the song even came out, which I can post if you like). But he also clarified Beyoncé added a lot of her own touches to the song.
Every other producer, even the ones who ended up only working with her once, they had nothing but praise for her.
They both have multiple songs on which they are not credited as writers so their contributions to the songs that they are credited on are likely minimal, unlike Katy and I believe Kesha who have both written songs independently without co-writers and are probably more involved in the writing process than Beyonce and Rihanna are.
I don't know him, probably because he never worked with her or any of my main faves.

Then, sometimes if it’s an Usher or Beyonce type of act, you’re ok with giving it away because if they sing over your song, they’re going to bring great attention to it.
"Beyoncé type act"... Sounds to me like he's just name dropping a famous person.
I haven't seen anyone really vouch for Rihanna's songwriting so I can't say much about her but with Beyone's it's just ignorance and people not knowing the facts.
Bangladesh co-wrote and produced Diva from I Am...Sasha Fierce.
Oops! I knew his name was familiar.
That song was shopped around
Quote:
"Diva" was written and produced by Beyoncé, Shondrae "Bangladesh" Crawford, and Sean Garrett.[1] According to an interview that Bangladesh gave with Rap-Up, the song was originally intended to be included on the track-listing of his own mixtape[2] after choosing a female artist to contribute vocals to "Diva".[2] However, he decided to play the song to American R&B singer Keyshia Cole, who liked the beat, but not the whole track. She eventually declined to record the song, but later said she would sing the song, however, this time Knowles also wanted it for her then upcoming album.[3] Bangladesh ultimately gave "Diva" to Knowles and composed another song for Cole.[2] About one month after the release of I Am... Sasha Fierce, American R&B singer Ciara, who was working on her third studio album, Fantasy Ride (2009), remixed "Diva", which was supposed to be included on her Fantasy Ride Mixtape.[4]
Doubt they worked together in the studio. IASF was filled with tracks her dad heard and suggested to Bey. Only a few came out of her writing camp.
Nevertheless, Sean Garrett is also credited, clearly that song wasn't written solely by Bangladesh.
The only song he did for Beyoncé is "Diva" and he is the main writer and producer credited on the song so I don't understand how he exposed her. I'm waiting for your response to my previous post.
Ressti said Bangladesh never worked with their fave though.
He didn't work with Beyoncé though. The beat to Diva with the "I'm a, a Diva" line was originally meant for his mixtape and when Sean Garrett heard it he thought it was perfect for Beyoncé so he wrote a demo and went in the studio with Beyoncé to record it. Technically Bangladesh has never worked with Beyoncé.
Rihanna doesn't write or arrange anything.
All she does is those Bajan chants "Eh Eh" Oh Ah Oh Ah".
Why is her stans acting like she the female Bob Dylan?
