Hungarian folk singer Mónika Juhász Miczura, also known as Mitsou, claims Beyonce recorded her voice back in 1995 during a performance of “Bajba, Bajba Pelem” and used her vocals on the beginning of “Drunk In Love.”
According to the suit, “Mitsou’s voice was [then] sampled and digitally manipulated without her permission” to be featured on “Drunk In Love.” “All together, Mitsou’s vocals are featured for over 1¹/₂ minutes of the 5¹/₂-minute song,” the suit also said.
Beyonce isn’t the only one under fire, Mitsou also targeted Bey’s hubby Jay, who she claims has been “unjustly enriched to the detriment of Mitsou.”
So what exactly is Mitsou after? The suit says, “blatant unauthorized use of [her] voice for trade purposes is causing irreparable harm and emotional distress.” Otherwise, she’s seeking unspecified damages.

Following an abominable performance at the tree lighting ceremony this year, Mariah Carey reminded fans why she’s one of the greatest divas to ever touch a mic…well kinda. Let’s be honest, Mimi isn’t the same gal who once shattered glasses with her high notes, but she is still Mariah! Don’t get it twisted.
The “Hero” singer performed at NYC’s Beacon Theatre, where she suffered a wardrobe malfunction that left her scrambling to fix her mic. But, no worries. Mariah pulled it together, of course.
Watch the cute video, above, and notice how emotional she gets at one point of the performance.
Earlier this week, rapper Beanie Sigel was shot in the stomach inside his brother-in-law Umar Salahuddin’s, Pleasantville, NJ home. According to new reports, the person behind the gun may have been his sister-in-law Kamilah Salahuddin.
Her grey Honda van was seen fleeing the scene and another suspect Ricky Childress was seen jumping out of the vehicle. Police have been unable to track down Kamilah for questioning and have little other leads in the case.
“Right now, the detective doesn’t have much to go on,” Rocky Melendez, Pleasantville Police Captain, told NBC. “The detectives have brought a lot of people in for questioning, but unfortunately no one’s talking.”
