*On the recent re-release of her album B’Day, Beyonce puts her spin on Des’ree’s 1998 song I’m Kissing You.

But according to Des’ree, who also wrote the song, the former Destiny’s Child member recorded her version, altered the title and shot a video all without permission.

According to TMZ.com, Des’ree (of You Gotta Be fame) filed a lawsuit against Bey in Manhattan Federal Court Tuesday alleging that she and her record company ignored copyright laws to record her version, retitled "Still In Love (Kissing You)," after initial attempts to get proper clearance stalled.

Beyonce and her label were reportedly dissatisfied with Des’ree’s proposed terms, which forbade any change of the song title or the filming of a music video for the song. A deal to cover the tune was never reached, however, Beyonce recorded the song and shot a video for it anyway.

Des'ree is suing to stop distribution of the song, video and album, and is seeking at least $150,000 in damages.
