Beyoncé is caught in a classic she said, Right Said Fred said.
Days after the group claimed the 28-time Grammy winner never approached them for clearance to interpolate their hit "I'm Too Sexy" for her 2022 track "Alien Superstar," Beyoncé is calling their claim "erroneous and incredibly disparaging."
"Permission was not only granted for its use, but they publicly spoke of their gratitude for being on the album," Beyoncé's statement to the Sun read. "For their song, there was no sound recording use, only the composition was utilized. Permission was asked of their publisher on May 11, 2022, and the publisher approved the use on June 15, 2022. They were paid for the usage in August 2022."
