Chicago songwriter Rickey Allen claims he was the original author of the song and even penned the title the same way. Due to scheduling conflicts, the trail is now scheduled for December 10th. Why won’t they just let her Be….

I'm down for good music for a good cause but this ain't the case. The homie Sha from MTV hit me with a question yesterday I dreaded goin' on the record about: How do I feel about hip-hop artists being included in the "We Are The World" remake? Geez, I guess we've come long way since 1985. I don't think you could do it any other way than include our culture which is the pulse of pop culture. But instead of feeling any type of validation, I feel disgust. Seriously, a complete remake of the original song? Celine Dion gettin' her Cyndi Lauper on? Lil Wayne as Bob Dylan? Fuck outta here. Didn't I see Will.I.Am in the flicks? They could gave that nigga an hour plus a pen and a pad and I'm sure he'd come up with something cheesy for no small fee but for free. I'm truly scared to hear what the final product is gonna sound like. Are we really gonna hear the soothing vocals of Nipsey Hussle in the final mix? Highly doubt it. Damn, it's the thought that counts but this just doesn't feel right. Shame on a couple of legendary nuhs named Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. MJ is turning over in his oxygen tank.
Who's your buddy, Mr. Jean?
Guilty until proven innocent…
Imagine if Beyonce ever went to jail? Bonnie n Clyde, Micky and Mallory for real.
Lol last comment, Beyonce has been on many occassions, by many writers been accused of strong-arming credits to songs, claiming them in interviews and outright stealing them. How can so many people be wrong..
yup. she doesn’t pen everything she claims…
if she stole shit she should be punished just because you wish you had jayz life and wife doesnt mean its aight aight
I wish Beyonce that she has to pay a very HIGH Fee!! that bish lies all the time about songwriting. She’s not a songwriter. Beyonce is a neurotic liar.
I wonder how Jay could have married such a beast like beyonce?? forreal now? why did such a good men like hov married such a huge bitch family? I will never understand.
Cater to You is a Destiny childs song so it would only be fair if they made Kelly and Mechelle come to court too. They love to put all the focus on Bey just because shes on top.
DC made CATER 2 U in 05 so y did he wait 4 years later to sue QUEEN BEY of all people. and jus 2 let u kno she writes jus about every song she’s done

Beyonce is expected to testify on Joshua’s behalf, but the case has been delayed on-and-off since 2006 due to her “scheduling conflicts”.
Put me in my Dereon dress, dabble me with Sasha Fierce parfum, the appropriate wig (use my top tier Beyonce-esque lace front collection to choose from) & have Beyonce music playing through the entire service… even while the good reverend is eulogizing. When placed in the ground use the tattered wigs & clip-on ponytails Sasha has snatched over the years to lovingly drape over my Dereon Gift to Virgo casket. You know? The one used to house the careers of CiCi, RiRi, Keri, Ashanti, Brandy, Monica , Amerie, Tina Marie, MoKenSteff, Kema, Kesha & Pam.
Why did I click that music??? I hate you!
*iDied* hope ur happy
man she didnt steal nothing they just want her dollars
