Beyoncé Claimed That ‘Right Said Fred’ Was Paid For the Usage Of Their Song “I’m Too Sexy”

Beyoncé was previously accused of using a musical created by a popular British Pop band known as Right Said Fred. The members of the band claimed that the singer has utilized their song ‘I’m Too Sexy’ without their permission which rose questions about copyright infringement.

The singer has finally opened up and hit back at the band by calling their allegations “erroneous and incredibly disparaging.” The singer also claimed that the band is being already paid for the copyright.

Previously, during the 2022 Broad Music Inc Awards in London; the leading members of the band such as Fred and Richard Fairbrass called out Beyoncé for using their track ‘I’m Too Sexy’ in a recent musical single titled ‘Alien Superstar’ which appears in her recent album ‘Renaissance’.

Talking about the singer, the members of the band said, “Normally the artist approaches us but Beyoncé didn’t because she is such an arrogant person.” They further added, “She just had probably thought ‘come and get me’, so we heard about it after the fact, when you did.” The members said, “To use our melody they need our permission so they send us the demo and we approve it and if so we get a co-write credit,”.

Talking about the differences in the artists they said, “With this Beyoncé thing there are 22 writers, it’s ridiculous, so we would get about 40 [pence]. The reason that is happening we think is because there is so little money now in the actual sales, people like friends, golfing partners, engineers, bookers, and the guy who brings the coke, they all want a cut.”

Many major artists such as Drake, Taylor Swift, and many others have acquired permission from the band the Fairbrass brothers before utilizing their music in their works. However, the brothers are not ready to challenge Beyoncé since she possesses a lot more power and money in the industry.

However, the singer claimed on Thursday that the Fairbrass brothers were paid for the music and they gave permission to utilize the elements in her song. She said in a statement, “Permission was not only granted for its use, but they publicly spoke of their gratitude for being on the album.”

The singer further added, “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.” She also pointed to a tweet in July by the band that reads, “it’s nice to get a writing credit on the new ‘Beyoncé album. ‘Renaissance’ Credits: Drake, A.G. Cook, Syd, Right Said Fred, & More.”
