Vanessa Williams' "Darlin I" video 1988 and Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" video 2007. Both scenes contain the singer getting out of the same old style black car with a chauffeur in uniform holding an umbrella for them in the rain, however, Beyonce stole it from the Vanessa Williams' music.

Producer ROB FUSARI was devastated when Beyonce took credit for composing BOOTYLICIOUS, alleging it was his idea to use a Stevie Nicks' riff in the DESTINY'S CHILD hit.
Fusari insists it was a "bittersweet" experience working with the R&B trio on the 2001 track - the catchy song went on to top the charts but Beyonce's dad and manager Mathew allegedly forced him to compromise his ideas for the project.
And he was further offended after the frontwoman claimed she was responsible for sampling Nicks' 1981 guitar part.
Fusari tells Billboard magazine, "I came up with the idea to build a track using the guitar riff from Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen.
"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 per cent of the publishing (royalties). I vividly remember telling Mathew Knowles, 'Mathew, you got to book me into your studio and let me replay that riff.'
"He didn't want to do it. So 50 per cent got cut for one note. That whole experience was bittersweet for me.
"I remember watching Barbara Walters interview Beyonce about Bootylicious, and she told Barbara about how she came up with the idea for the track."
Fusari, who went on to help Lady Gaga launch her pop career, insists he was brushed off when he complained about the interview, adding, "I called Mathew - which was a big mistake; I got emotional, and I apologised after - but I called Mathew and said, 'Mathew, like, why?' 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 offence, 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.'"

·         Sony singer Beyonce is being hauled into Federal Court in Chicago, Illinois, on December 10, 2009, barring bribing the judge or a settlement, by songwriter, Ricky Allen, for stealing his copyrighted song "Cater 2 U." Allen registered the copyright for "Cater 2 U" with the Copyright Office/Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., in 2000. In 2004, a former co-worker of Allen's gained employment working with Beyonce's then singing group, Destinys Child. That same year, Destinys Child, released a song entitled "Cater 2 U" allegedly written by notorious song thief, Beyonce Knowles, but bearing rip-off music, lyrics and the exact same title, as the preexisting, copyrighted song, Allen registered with the Library Of Congress 4 YEARS BEFORE BEYONCE STOLE IT. Beyonce, has been sued and or slammed by many and I do mean many, songwriters for willfully, deliberately and knowingly stealing their federally and internationally protected, copyrighted songs, photos and videos. She has done this dozens of times, completely destroying her name. She is a running joke on the internet in this regard.

Sued for stealing the song "Baby Boy"

Beyonce's "Baby" Suit

 07/14/2005 1:35 PM, E! Online - Beyonce Knowles' destiny these days looks to be in the courtroom. A Minneapolis musician has filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit, accusing the "Naughty Girl" diva of swiping a song, MTV reports. The suit, filed in Houston Tuesday by singer-songwriter Jennifer Armour, claims the Destiny's Child frontbabe ripped off lyrics and hooks from Armour's "Got a Little Bit of Love For You," for "Baby Boy," which featured dancehall reggae star Sean Paul and topped Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the summer of 2003. 

Armour says her track was written months before the release of Knowles' solo album debut, Dangerously In Love, which contained "Baby Boy." The complaint alleges Knowles, 23, stumbled upon the tune after Armour shopped it around the music biz.  A hearing in the case is scheduled for Oct. 28. Neither Armour nor her lawyer were immediately available for comment; there was no immediate response from the Knowles camp, either. This isn't the first time the bootylicious Grammy winner has been accused of song stealing. 

In October 2003, Beyonce, hermanager-father, Matthew Knowles, and Destiny's members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were slapped with a $200 million copyright-infringement suit by a Miami-based producer, who claimed they had pilfered one of his pieces for their 2001 mega-hit "Survivor." Terrence "T-Robb" Robinson said he sent in his song "Glorious" to the elder Knowles in June 2000; he said he didn't realize it had been taken until he heard it on a commercial. 

Legal woes aside, Beyoncé and her bandmates are keeping plenty busy on the road promoting what will likely be their final album together, Destiny Fulfilled. The trio, who announced in January that they planned to split and embark on solo careers, appeared at the Philly installment of Live 8 on July 2 and then kicked off the North American leg of their McDonald's-sponsored Destiny Fullfilled tour in St. Louis on July 9. The 34-city trek is scheduled to wrap up in Vancouver Sept. 10--just in time to get ready for that court date. – Yahoo

Sued for stealing the song "Survivor"

Producer sues Beyonce, father over song
$200 million lawsuit filed - Tuesday, October 21, 2003 Posted: 1:33 PM EDT (1733 GMT) - HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- A 32-year-old producer has filed a $200 million lawsuit against Beyonce Knowles, her father and fellow members of Destiny's Child, alleging they stole his music for the hit song "Survivor." 

Terrence "T-Robb" Robinson, a Miami-based producer, claims he produced a song called "Glorious" in June 2000 and provided it to Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's father and manager, later that year in October. Robinson's attorney claims the producer later heard the song used in a commercial, without his permission. Robinson said the song would have been his big break in the music industry. 

"I know right now I would be one of the biggest, most sought-after producers," he said at a news conference Tuesday. "Survivor" was the title of Destiny's Child's 2001 album, which sold millions of copies. The title song was a No. 2 hit that year and earned the group a Grammy in 2002 for best R&B performance.

Clarke admitted that when Robinson provided Matthew Knowles with his song, it was not copyrighted but a copyright was later secured. "Ultimately at the end of the day, what is going to decide this lawsuit is the music," said Robinson's attorney, Peter J. Clarke. Knowles' attorney, Thomas Sulkerson, said Tuesday he had not yet seen the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Houston on October 14. 

In addition to Houston-based Destiny's Child, whose members include Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, the lawsuit also names Sony Music Entertainment, Columbia Records, Music World Entertainment and State of Mind Muzic, Inc. 

This is the second lawsuit sparked by the "Survivor" song. Last year, two former members of the group sued Destiny's Child, claiming the song included derisive comments about them. The lawsuit was later settled. - The Associated Press

Sued for stealing "Kissing You"

Beyonce’s Legal Woes - 19-Apr-2007 - Former pop star accuses Beyonce of copyright infringement, sues. 
Beyonce is in hot water with a former pop star who accused the singer of ripping off her song. A singer named Des’ree is calling Beyonce out for covering a song co-written by the former star, entitled “I’m Kissing You.” The original version appeared in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet, in 1996. B-Day, Beyonce’s re-released album, features the singer’s cover of the number. 

Music administrators filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court on Wednesday. It says that Beyonce originally attempted to broker a deal for the use of the tune. But apparently they didn’t like the terms, some of which included keeping the song’s original name and not making a music video.

At this point, it is alleged that Beyonce disregarded copyright laws altogether, and proceeded to do exactly as she pleased. She went ahead and recorded the song, and then she topped that by making a music video, too. And then the Dreamgirls actress went ahead and changed the name, to “Still in Love (Kissing You).” Des’ree is suing for $150,000 in damages and intends to halt the distribution of the song, video, and album. – the Celebrity Café  

Took credit for writing "Crazy In Love" and "Irreplaceable" when she didn't

From the January 2007 Sound Off Column

 

A few months ago I wrote about Beyonce taking credit for songs she didn't write. It has now come out that she has done it again, but this time to R&B singer/writer Ne-yo. This month Beyonce was slammed for lying on stage to 20,000 people that she wrote the song "Irreplaceable" when it was really written by Ne-yo. She told the crowd she had "written the song" for women, when a dude, Ne-yo, actually wrote it. She was then slammed on Power 106 for this fraud and dishonesty. She was also slammed all over the net for doing this as well.

It's not the first time Beyonce has done this. Not only has she been sued for stealing the songs Baby Boy, Independent Women and Survivor, she was also slammed for taking credit for writing her hit Crazy In Love and coming up with the sample, when she only wrote the bridge, which at best, is two lines repeated. What a fraud. Producer Rich Harrison came up with the beat, wrote the choruses and verse and used a sample he was sitting on for years as the horn basis for the track.

I also wrote months ago in the Column how she also went around saying she wrote the track "Resentment" that was a remake of a song done by Victoria Beckham and written by Jasmine Sullivan. You will never sell Beyonce as a songwriter. She has stolen from so many people. Furthermore, when I heard the claim she wrote "Irreplaceable" I said to someone when the topic came up, "No she didn't. That song is coherent."

Beyonce can barely string a sentence together and frequently and noticeably uses the wrong words in sentences. She has been called out for this on numerous blogs. People don't speak badly then all of a sudden write properly. It just doesn't work that way. Never has. And this has nothing to do with her being southern or country, also known as the Britney Spears defense, as there are many southerners and country people who speak well. It's not about accents. It's about diction.

You could have a southern accent, a Spanish accent, a French accent or a Muslim accent, but if the diction is correct, the sentence, and thus your speech and writing of the English language will be as well. Apparently the Academy Awards Committee didn't buy her as a songwriter either. She was dropped from the songwriter ballot for the song "Listen" making her ineligible to win an Oscar.

Sued for not paying Wilhelmina

"Beyonce Hit With A Lawsuit By Wilhelmina Artist Management" 
(4/16/03, 4 p.m. ET) Beyonce Knowles is being sued by the Wilhelmina management company in Manhattan Supreme Court for $88,250. That represents the 10 percent commission the company claims Knowles owes from her lucrative L'Oreal contract. 

According to court papers, Knowles signed a contract with Wilhelmina in March of 2001 which allowed the company to exclusively represent her. In April of 2001 Knowles signed the L'Oreal contract. Knowles has stated that she does not intend to pay the commission. In turn, Wilhelmina is suing so that a judge will force Knowles to pay. Knowles' debut solo album, Dangerously In Love, is slated for release in May. - Yahoo! Launch Music 

Sued for not paying Greg Walker/Icon Entertainment

Greg Walker of Icon Entertainment was suing the "Irreplaceable" star for reportedly cutting him out of a $15 million fashion deal he had arranged with Knowles and her mother, Tina, in 2003. 

Walker claimed Knowles failed to pay him the $25,000 for his services, which led to the creation of the singer's clothing line, House of Dereon, in 2004, reports the New York Daily News. 

But Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Herman Kahn ruled that Walker never had a signed contract with Knowles and House Of Dereon, and therefore lacked a valid argument.   

 Sued for stealing $32,000,000 from the family of her former dead co-manager, who got them their record deal

"Beyonce's Dad Blows Millions On Drugs And Hookers" 

POP sensation Beyonce Knowles and the rest of Destiny's Child are reeling from a lawsuit charging that their manager, Beyonce's dad Mathew, squandered $32 million on cocaine and sex parties with prostitutes. And while Mathew Knowles denies misappropriating millions, the married man admits to Star in a startling exclusive interview that he was a sex and drug addict who has cheated on his wife repeatedly! 

"Beyonce is shocked and embarrassed," says a source close to Destiny's Child. "She wonders how her father could betray the family like this. "She is especially heartbroken for her mother, Tina, who has been humiliated by the charges in the lawsuit." 

But incredibly, Beyonce's shameless dad tells Star he doesn't feel bad about any of the drugging or carousing with women that he's done. "I'm not proud of nor am I ashamed of this stuff," says Knowles, 50. 

"My wife Tina and I had some real problems with our marriage and I was having some affairs at the time. I went to a treatment facility in 1992 and they didn't have a real definition for my marital infidelities. But if you did a little alcohol or drugs it was all lumped together as substance abuse related. "In 1998, when I was treated a second time, they had a more defined definition of sex addiction, but sex addiction has such a broad range. My treatment was regarding my continued extramarital affairs." 

The sordid scandal has erupted just as beautiful Beyonce was poised to launch a solo career. After leading singing partners Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to the top of the charts with hits like Survivor and Bootylicious and making Destiny's Child the world's best-selling girl group, Beyonce is breaking into movies. She makes her big-screen debut opposite Mike Myers in Goldmember, the hotly anticipated new Austin Powers movie. "The last thing she needs right now is for these horrible revelations to come out in public," says the close source. 

According to the shocking lawsuit filed by Armon Tillman, 21, and his brother Chris, 18, the two sons of the group's late co-manager, Andretta Tillman, Beyonce's dad took money that should have gone to them and spent it on drugs and wild parties with hookers. "Mathew Knowles failed to inform Ms. Tillman that he had uncontrollable addictions to at least cocaine and extramarital sexual activities, which he could not control" and these "impeded his ability" to properly manage the group, the lawsuit reads. 

The lawsuit claims Tillman was key to Destiny's Child signing a multimillion-dollar deal with Sony Music Entertainment, but Knowles and the group failed to live up to its contract with Tillman's heirs, after she died of lupus in 1997. Instead of "investing prudently" Knowles "squandered" an estimated $32 million of the group's profits on drugs and prostitutes "by engaging in ... unproductive, unreasonable and/or improper acts," the sons claim. 

According to the court documents, in addition to buying and snorting cocaine, Beyonce's dad is also accused of a shopping list of shocking sex-related acts including "solicitation and/or marketing of prostitutes" and arranging "sex parties." Although Knowles admits past affairs, his wife Tina defiantly dismissed the sordid charges that he spent millions on hookers and cocaine as "all lies."
