Diane is right. She owes no apology and it's a shame she was pressured into giving one. The Dream used race to persuade people's opinion on the issue when in actuality his words don't support the truth. Of the 24 credited songwriters for "Alien Superstar", only a handful have something to do with the original works that are sampled in the song. So contrary to what The Dream and so many fans are saying, this has nothing to do with Beyonce/The Dream using a bunch of samples and having to credit all of the writers & producers involved. Diane's question is about the legitimacy of so many credits on one song. It's like Beyonce reached out to a list of artists and as long as they pressed a button or hummed a note they got a credit. What that does is it reduces the artform and that's what Diane is alluding to, but if you believe Beyonce/The Dream, you'll think it's about this rebirth nonsense.
