Beyonce Can’t Dodge ‘Formation’ Lawsuit
Beyonce’s legal team is going to have to work a little harder to slay a copyright infringement lawsuit over her hit “Formation.” Spoken word from the late Anthony Barre — also known as Messy Mya — is featured on the song, and his estate sued in February for copyright infringement, among other claims. Barre’s voice is heard saying “What happened at the New Orleans,” “Bitch, I’m back by popular demand” and “Oh yeah baby.

The 20-second clip, posted to the singer’s YouTube and social media accounts, has Beyoncé in tight braids and a brown fur coat ever so slowly lifting her head into view.
