Beyoncé doesn't want Ne-Yo to get his royalties for Irreplacable and can therefore look forward to a lawsuit.

Bad manners, B.

Beyoncé

Oh,so it looks like Miss Prissy doesn't want to record a song with that lowlife Ne-Yo She recently did a song with Justin Timberlake,I guess she considers him a better-looking guy,lol.

good for him....BUT.....if he keeps suing people, he's gonna find himself labeled as somebody not to work with, fair or unfair. his "sound" is probably gonna wear out in a year or so, if it hasn't already, he could find himself caught up in lawsuits that never have court dates (r kelly is the master of this)

I hope Ne-Yo gets all his money from that triflin ho. No good's going to come to Ms Beyonce like that.

What about the other 50 guys who wrote "Irreplaceable". Do they get their shit too?

That's not fair. I think h should do something about it 2.

What is the real deal with that song? I saw two European guys talking about Beyonce and the structure of the song and the caption read that they were the songwriters for Irreplaceable.

According to a rep from ASCAP( The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Ne-yo has been receiving royalty checks for "Irreplacable" for over a year.

Sorry, folks. This story is nothing more than entertainment gossip.

Ne-Yo only wrote the lyrics... not the music

Drama Queens

I've heard Ne-Yo's version of Irreplacable.....nothing special

Six people wrote the words and music and no samples were involved...

That's something I would expect from her

bboy87 said:

Music was done by Producing team (Stargate) and Ne-Yo wrote the lyrics
he also said that Beyonce did the vocal arrangement.

(drama queens)

banks said:

that is what I thought--he said she did most of the work. she should help him out all the money she made. it is good for her too. what will jay z think about this? Do you think he would tolerate that type of drama in his camp? I don't know..

I think he wrote the melody also. Stargate finished the music (from what he has stated in interviews).

Either Miss Ross has replaced Sasha, or she's been hanging out with Prince. Soon, we'll hear about mj suing justin, chris brown and ne yo even though I know it's Ne Yo suing her.
