Beyonce has been slapped with a lawsuit for featuring late New Orleans based you tube sensation Messy Mya whose real names are Anthony Barre in her popular song 'Formation'
His family filed a $20,000,000 suit against Beyonce for sampling a four-second clip of Mya’s infamous voice without any permission or compensation. The memorable “Oooh, yass I like that” line was lifted from a 2010 YouTube video shot shortly before Messy Mya’s murder:
According to TMZ, The estate claims that Beyonce made millions off the track with the use of the late YouTube sensation’s voice without reaching out to the family first. Furthermore, they claim they tried reaching out to Beyonce regarding the sample after the song hit airwaves, but Bey and her people completely ignored them.
As such, they feel that $20 Million in profits and back royalties will cover any damages and make up for the inconsiderate gesture on Beyonce’s part.
