Beyonce and Jay Z had one of the biggest songs of the year with their mega smash ‘Drunk In Love’ but now that same song has the pair headed to court. According to multiple reports including US Magazine have unveiled new legal documents from Hungarian singer Monika Juhasz Miczura, aka Mitsou, who says her vocals were unfairly sampled on the record.
Mitsou reportedly filed papers on Friday, Dec. 12, citing her vocals were sampled and manipulated for the opening hook of the single, taking a 1995 recording that the Hungarian singer did of a song called “Bajba, Bajba Pelem,” or the U.S. title, “Gypsy Life on the Road.”
“Mitsou has never signed any documents that would permit anyone to use her voice for advertising or trade purposes,” the lawsuit reads, according to the New York Post‘s Page Six. “Mitsou’s voice was sampled and digitally manipulated without her permission… All together, Mitsou’s vocals are featured for over 1.5 minutes of the 5.5-minute song.”
The singer also took issue with the content of Beyonce and Jay Z’s song, writing in the lawsuit that the supposed sample is used to “evoke foreign eroticism alongside the sexually intense lyrics performed by Beyoncé and Jay Z.”
Timbaland, who produced the song is also cited in the lawsuit, he nor the Carters have issued any statements or responded to the lawsuit which is seeking unspecified damages for “irreparable harm” and “emotional distress.”
This wouldn’t be the first time Bey has been accused of “borrowing” someone else’s art without permission. Check out both Bey’s song below and Mitsou’s and let us know what you think?
