Earlier this week, pop duo Right Said Fred made some allegations about Beyoncé, who sampled their track, “I’m Too Sexy” for her song “Alien Superstar.”

“Permission was not only granted for its use, but they publicly spoke of their gratitude for being on the album,” Beyoncé’s statement read.

“For their song, there was no sound recording use, only the composition was utilized. Permission was asked of their publisher on May 11, 2022 and the publisher approved the use on June 15, 2022. They were paid for the usage in August, 2022.”

Looks like B has the receipts and the dates. Also, as a Beyoncé fan, it’s cool to see B shutting down these allegations. She normally stays silent on rumors, but this time, she said ABSOLUTELY NOT.
