When sitting on the lofty level of superstardom that Beyonce enjoys, dealing with the ill intent of the steam pressed is a daily duty.
The latest drama to swing the diva’s way is a lawsuit from up and coming singer Javon Lane, who is accusing the Grammy winner of stealing his song.
Full story below…
According to TMZ, the unknown is suing Bey for $3 million dollars over the track ‘XO’ – which was featured on her groundbreaking visual album.
Per the filing, Lane claims he wrote a number named ‘XOXO’ and shared it with another singer who does background vocals for Beyonce, the track supposedly ended up in her hands and a copycat track emerged.
Whether he’s basing his argument on the song title, concept, or its actual composition has been undetermined as of writing. But, in either case, it’s all sorts of nonsense – especially when comparing both cuts…
The struggle is both real and wretched.
We’ll file this under “Elaborate Promo Campaign…Attempts”.
Get your promo.
#nopayout
Lord my ears hurt hearing him.
Damn I need to slap myself for adding a stream listen to his stats.
The reach is a struggle like those lead vocals
CLASS DISMISSED
Yas I should punch myself for reading your comments and still listening to this hot a** mess. I’m sorry I’ll believe you next time.
Cosign honey. I apologize to him for not believing his comment. Forgive me Cocobutter. *goes to cut my ears out*
she steals EVERYTHING. she even stole her man. (and blue)
-listens to the other song-
nevermind……..
im not sorry tho 🙂
You have a coconut with Bey?
The irony, seeing how you stan for Rihanna, who has been accused multiple times “Even though that’s my girl”.
Bey has been accused her whole career tho.. Those writing credits are hardly credible!
Everything Beyonce does is unoriginal..
He sounds like pure t s***.
Only when is Beyonce accusing of stealing songs, is ludicrous.
@SuicideBlonde Why come you aren’t dead yet!???? K*** YA self! Never come for the Queen and even if there was a lay out 3Mill is nothing to the Queen
People of TGJ carry own with your day to day it was a FALSE ALARM! HIVE don’t attack this desperate artist
NAVY don’t get too excited Beyonce still RUNNIN THIS S***
Maybe the suit is for 3 million to be pay to Beyoncé for the lies and of using her name/status. That fool is just that, trying to come up on the Queen’s name/status, don’t kill him Behive’s he did that himself.
Coming from a madonna fan? Hahahaha
Wait, but you Stan for Madonna though, the Queen of “Purloin”.
Like a thief in the night Hide ya songs, hide ya notebooks. hide ya producers, hide ya man. LOL!
Swift earns the largest sales week for an album since 2002.
It’s official: Taylor Swift’s 1989 debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the largest sales week for an album since 2002.
1989 sold 1.287 million copies in the week ending Nov. 2, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The Only act ever to have 3 million sellers in a week.
get a life
Opps, Britney still holds the record for most selling album in first week for female artist.. Nice Try
HE SAID “SINCE” 2002 HE DIDNT SAY SHE BROKE THE RECORD LEARN TO READ WITH COMPREHENSION OOPS
But Britney Spears didn’t release her album, in an era when sales are down 14 percent on last year, and in an era when Taylor already has the best selling album released this year, after a week…
Boy don’t use that tired excuse, in the early 2000 they had to get artists to appeal on TV ads so people wouldn’t record off the radio with their tape recorders. People were reaching number 1 selling at the lowest rates ever. Remember also Taylor was offering discounts for people who bought multiple copies and was selling it for 61p. You tried but cha need to try again.
Lmao tape recorders? They have that now, and Youtube and plenty of other ways to download. If you think its easlier down to sell albums, than it was back in 2002..you’re deluded.
Also the the ones selling for 99 cent didnt count! so I guess you need to try harder!
this guy is out of his mind his whack ass is just looking for a come these two songs are 100% percent different beys X0 is a mid tempo pop ballad and his his song is a autotuned elctro influence r&b song and the lyrics are also 100% different
bwahhahahahahaha….About time someone called her out,eventhough this sounds rediculous….Sam you are about to get your coins with this one..
*Grabs popcorn*
this guy is out of his mind his whack ass is just looking for a come up these two songs are 100% percent different beys X0 is a mid tempo pop ballad and his his song is a autotuned electro influence r&b song and the lyrics are also 100% different
Those songs sound nothing alike, he’s just looking for free promo.
So the b**** steals songs now. First she claims to write songs which are written by somebody else for her then she changes one or two words to get writing credits now the money hungry w**** is stealing songs from unknowns. Talented my ass this dumb stupid b**** is just a f****** fraud she can’t write s*** to save her life.
Yeah now she’s releasing a million CD’s in one day so we should see the same damn f****** ass and crotch we’ve been seeing for the last 15 years. It’s all about money. Only dumb f**** will pay $50 for some lame ass videos. We get it you want money and you’re willing to make soft p*** for it. Your music isn’t that special it’s the same trap beats that everybody’s making you’re no icon I don’t remember any legendary or game changing songs its all about paying for awards and HYPE which people fall for. You’re done B****
And please Put some clothes on GrandMa.
Yes, this is ludicrous. It doesn’t sound like it at all. Lol.
The only person that can file a lawsuit against Beyonce and win is singer/songwriter, Anjulie. Her music video came out 2yrs prior Beys “Superpower” and the video concept is a clear ripoff off of a lesser known artist.

You need a better argument. She can be sued because of riots? Girl bye! What about run this town??? You tried though.
ANOTHER REEEEEACHH!
This guy is obviously just looking for promo and some of Bey’s coins. But the haters are gonna bombard this post and be like “Yass sue the hell outta this thiefing heffa. Thiefonce doent have an original bone in her body” without even listening to both tracks!!
COPYONCE DID IT AGAIN!
Guys bit of advice before you comment actually listen 2 both tracks
LMFAO get ur promo boo hahaha it’s way too early to be reachin’ for the stars like that
He is reaching. They sound nothing alike. And shouldnt you be blaming Ryan Tedder not Beyonce.
Mess. He isnt going to win with that struggle attempt for promo.
But why is Sam trying to defend THIEFyonce?? I haven’t heard the song, but I know for a fact she did steal the song
And thats why you are dumb. The songs are nothing alike, you dont have to be a fan to admit that.
Since you know so much, please elaborate why Artpop is platinum.
THE REAAAAAAACH. I MEAN COME ON, IS HE ACTUALLY SERIOUS???
I DONT KNOW WHATS WORSE, HIS ATTEMPT FOR SOME PROMO, OR THOSE ABYSMAL VOCALS.
Screaming! This thirst is too real on this Wednesday morning.
Wtf? This guy should not have bothered. Why would anyone want to copy that mess. The only thing similar is the title. And even thats not the same.
Beyonce ALWAYS taking from someone, but not this time, lol.
This is a reach, I have to agree. Actually it’s not a reach, this is simply a delusion
Not surprised at all.Whoever wrote Drunk on Love by Rihanna needs to Sue the thieving witch as well. This is what she does.Steal from low tempo ballads and make them up beat.Not everyone is stupid like her stans.
He, nor who ever wrote “Drunk On Love” by Pon De Forehead, has a viable case…you f****** moron
Yes he sounds a hot mess…but I can hear similarities. Not being funny bit if any of you know about musical copyright infringement, from this he may actually have a strong case.
”Lofty superstardom…” She’s not even that popular in the Latin world as Madonna or Britney, stop maing her out to be the biggest superstar when she isn’t.
She’s HUGE in Brazil. So wtf are you talking about????
WE all know I XOXO my Beyoncé, and I understand at times that her songwriting has been questionable and some think it isn’t her strongest point (obviously performing is), but no ma’am. You’re delusional. Queen B did not steal your song. It doesn’t even sound like she made a blueprint from your track. He just needed promo from Bee. I can’t get mad at that. Especially with these current record label budget cuts going on.
XOXO is the better song, no shade. XO is cute but is still a typical formulaic pop/r&b song.
thief beyonce is the Queen of Copy she is the hardest working thief in the music industry
i get where this guy is coming from its hard out there and after seeing that amount she allegedly pocketed im ready with my countless lawsuits too. starting with the fact that she is black. that offends me to great lengths.
WOW, for the first time she’s been accused of stealing, she actually didn’t do it. That f** needs to give the song to someone who can actually sing though.
I CAN’T DEAL !! I HEAR NO SIMILARITY..
#BOYBYE.. I MEAN YES SHE STEALS BUT THIS SONG HAS NO COMPARISON
