It's very rare for Beyoncé to provide statements via her rep whenever an artist casually throws it out there that she used a portion of their work without permission. Normally, she would let the situation faze itself out especially if the artist is making baseless claims without suing OR she will just... silently remove the sample. So for her to go out of her way to issue a statement must mean she was genuinely pissed and decided enough was enough. Earlier this week, Right Said Fred publicly accused the singer of sampling their 1992 mega hit, ‘I’m Too Sexy’ for her ‘Renaissance’ track ‘Alien Superstar’ without permission. They referred to her as “arrogant,” and said they received no financial compensation for the usage. A statement via her rep strongly refutes these claims with major RECEIPTS. Seems like they may have been disgruntled Beyoncé didn't reach out to them PERSONALLY. She handled it professionally and legally, getting the men in suits to do her bidding. It's understood they wanted respect, but she is not obligated to do that since she went through the proper channels (this time). Check out her statement below.
As seen in the tweet below, Right Said Fred didn’t have an issue with it just a few months ago and actually celebrated their writing credit:
