I’m pretty sure the Mrs. Z, Beyonce, and her Dad Mr. Knowles have both made some questionable decisions throughout her career, but I think this is just over the top.
Record producer Rob Fusari has accused Beyoncé and her father of taking credit for his idea in Destiny’s Child’s hit song, “Bootylicious.” Fusari has reportedly claimed that he came up with the idea to use Stevie Nicks riffs from her 1982 hit, “Edge of Seventeen.”
“I remember watching Barbara Walters interview Beyoncé . . . and she told Barbara about how she came up with the idea for the track,” Fusari told Billboard magazine.
Fusari said he approached Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé’s father and manager, who supposedly told him no one wanted to know about his part in the song.
People don’t want to hear about Rob Fusari, producer from Livingston, New Jersey,” Knowles reportedly told the producer. “No offense, but that’s not what sells records. What sells records is people believing that the artist is everything.”
So my question is….where’s the lawsuit? If this is a legitimate case and a legit producer wouldn’t he have some type of copywright infringement case? Hey I’m by no means a lawyer, but come on now.
What do you think; did Beyonce steal the idea of Bootylicious?
