If we’ve learned anything from Saturday Night Live‘s “Beygency” sketch, it’s that one should never speak ill of Beyonc├â┬⌐…
So HOW did legendary songwriter Linda Perry not get the memo!?! Sweet mother of Beysus!
During a Reddit AMA to promote her new VH1 reality series, Make or Break, Linda was asked:
“How do you feel about Beyonce changing one word on a song and getting writing credit. Does that bother you as a songwriter?”
Laced with shade, she responded:
“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.”
Queen Bey’s been called out before for her songwriting skills – which has been rumored to consist of adding a word or two, then taking credit as both the writer and the producer.
So obviously as a songwriter, we can understand where Linda was coming from with her answer — especially since she’s single-handedly created hits for some of the world’s top selling artists!
We get the back and forth, but once Yonc├â┬⌐’s loyal stans get a hold of this, Miz Perry WILL feel the unfortunate wrath!
