The rumor mill also circulated the story that Ne-Yo had raised Knowles' ire by telling MTV International apparently Beyonce was at a show somewhere and right before the song came on, she said: 'I wrote this for my girls...
' The song is a co-write. I wrote all the lyrics. Beyonce helped me with the melodies and the harmonies and the vocal arrangement, and that makes it a co-write.
While some accounts said Ne-Yo's comments incited Knowles' to credit Irreplaceable production team Stargate with writing the song, Matthew Knowles put an end to all talk of a feud by telling the Daily News on Tuesday (May 1), today is the first day I learned I'm unhappy with Ne-Yo. I never knew he said that. He does deserve to share in the credit.
In related news, . In a recent interview with VIBE magazine Beyonc put a stop to the story that there was turmoil between her and the sassy former American Idol contestant, telling the magazine, there is a typical rumor every single time I'm involved with an African American female. Before I even meet them, I already know the rumor because that's just - it is what it is.
It's society and it has nothing to do with me. But what do I do? I worked with Britney, I've worked with Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and they don't start that, whenever it's two black women, it's.
..unfortunate.
