Linda Perry Questions Beyonce’s Songwriting Skills: Everyone Knows the REAL Truth

well hahaha um thats not songwriting but some of these artists believe if it wasnt for them your song would never get out there so they take a cut just because they are who they are. but everyone knows the real truth even Beyonce. She is talented but in a completely different way

The issue of songwriting credit, for big and unknown stars, has been debatable for quite some time. There have been countless stories of songwriters claiming that they were not appropriately credited for their work.

In fact, All Hip Hop notes that in a 2008 interview with Marie Claire, Beyonce states that she wrote her hit song “Irreplacable”. She explained “‘I’m sure people think I wrote it about [Jay-Z] or something, but… the obvious person is not the person at all”.

In a 2012 interview with The Breakfast Club, Ne-Yo, one of the co-writers for “Irreplacable” revealed Beyonce only wrote the background harmonies for the song.
