American singer-songwriter Beyonce has retaliated against pop band "Right Said Fred". Right Said Fred answered aggressively after the band claimed singer Beyonce copied their tune. Right Said Fred are an English pop band formed by brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass in 1989.

The team accused Beyonce of failing to obtain permission to use their tune in her song Alien Superstar from her album 'Renaissance'. Brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass even called the singer arrogant.

Beyonce responded to the brothers, whose song was released in 1992, by saying charges she did not get permission were 'erroneous and insulting.





According to the statement, not only was permission obtained for its usage, but they openly expressed their thanks for being on the record. The statement went on to say that 'just the composition' was used. According to the star, Beyonce had requested permission on May 11 of the year, and their publisher approved it a month later. They were paid for it in August.

The band stated that the artist generally approaches them, but because Beyoncé is such an arrogant person, she probably just thought, 'come and get me,' so we found out about it after you accomplished.
