Beyonce’s breathing a sign of relief after a U.S. District judge threw out a lawsuit accusing her of stealing parts of a song to use in her single ‘Baby Boy’.
Jennifer Armour, a singer-songwriter from a Minneapolis, filed a suit in Houston last July claiming that Beyonce had stole lyrics and hooks from her track ‘Got a Little Bit of Love For You’.
The suit claimed Beyonce heard the track after Armour’s ex-manager sent a demo out to Columbia Records, the label the R&B superstar is signed to, and Atlantic Recording Corporations, the home of Sean Paul – who also featured on the track.
But, after hearing both tracks, a federal judge decided the songs were "substantially dissimilar" and threw out the suit.
"It's unfortunate that lawsuits such as this one occur, but I am grateful and relieved to have this behind me, and I am eager to move on," Beyonce said in a statement.
