A lawsuit has been brought against Beyonce by a backing singer who alleges that Queen Bey stole the song 'XO' from him.

Ahmad Javon Lane claims that he gave the song to Chrissy Collins, Beyonce's current back-up singer, after they had worked together with another artist. The song was called 'XOXO' and Lane implies that Collins passed it on Beyonce, who then recorded and released it as 'XO'.

The lawsuit was filed last year but only now has Beyonce responded to the claims, with her attorney writing that the two songs don't share any "meaningful similarity".

Beyonce also reportedly said that she had no reason to steal from other artists,  with "17 Grammy awards and 118 million records sold."
