USA : La chanteuse Beyoncé a des ennuis judiciaires
In the United States, singer Beyoncé is being sued by a record label for alleged copyright infringement. The American R&B superstar is accused of using a sample without permission in her hit song 'Alien Superstar'.
According to TMZ, the plaintiff is Hirose Enterprise, owned by producer Shuji Hirose. It claims to own the rights to the song "Moonraker," which Beyoncé sampled in the intro to her 2022 song "Alien Superstar."
Hirose Enterprise is claiming damages and interest
Queen B reportedly did not obtain a license to use the sample before the release of the album 'Renaissance', which features 'Alien Superstar'. It was only afterwards that she approached John Holiday, the performer of 'Moonraker', for permission to use the sample, but he had already relinquished all his rights to the song decades earlier.
Hirose Enterprise claims to have informed Beyoncé's company of the situation, but the latter continued to sell the album.
In its complaint, the record company is seeking an injunction to prevent Beyoncé from profiting from its work and is claiming unspecified damages.
