Starting with a video of Beyonce herself admitting that she steals material from other artists' shows

Beyonce stole the "Single Ladies" choregraphy from Bob Fosse. After being called out, she tried backtracking by saying "I came across this video from the sixties and thought it would be fun to do it now."

She copied her "Countdown" music video from a Belgian artist, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Again after being called out, Beyonce said the video was a homage - even those Anne was never asked by her team to use it as inspiration

Here's what Anne had to say about the whole situation

Beyonce copying Shakira’s unique dance which is known to be an Arab and South Asian dance

Neyo wrote the song "Irreplacable" in its entirety. Despite this, Beyonce received a full production and songwriting credit for just changing a note

Future was another victim of Beyonce's school of publishing theft. He originally wrote the song "Drunk in Love" and has still not been granted a credit to this day

Beyonce also copied the song "1+1" in its entirety despite the fact that the song came out long before she first heard it. The Dream seems to have close relation with her team so he might have allowed it. Still, Bey received full writing credit for just changing vocals

Another song she stole was "Lay Up Under Me" which was release years before she recorded it. Still, she received a lead writing and production credit

Other examples of Beyonce copying other artists’ looks

Beyonce claims to have written and produced survivor by Destiny’s child. Then once again the truth spilled out and a lawsuit was filed for copyright by producer Terrence T Rob claiming he sent the song to Matthew Knowles and the rest is history

Diva…. another song completely written without the help of Beyonce where she receives lead writing and production credits at this point we have to question if she’s ever written any song in her career

Beyonce copying Adele’s stage design from her Vegas residency

Beyoncè was accused of stealing the song “still in love kissing you” from singer Des’ree and she later decided to settle case outside of court with an undisclosed agreement

Shakira in February / Beyonce in April

Beyonce has been copying Shakira since the 90s

It’s not just songs that Beyonce has blatantly copied or stolen from another artist. She completely took this Italian artists performance and remixed for her Billboard music award Performance. And it’s almost undeniable

Beyonce shamelessly copied Taylor Swift’s deal with AMC for her concert film

Another example of her stealing a song that was released long before she recorded. Again, she received full writing and production credits

Here's when she stole from another artist named Kerli

Karol G in 2022 / Beyonce in 2025

@cowboylikezain I read this dowwnnn to the post!! You really did a good job cuz the beehive loves to argue when receipts aren’t presented..

@cowboylikezain Not a surprise tbh, she has always been unoriginal and a copycat

@cowboylikezain Oh beythief

@cowboylikezain Shame on you Beyoncé is the only artist that helped Taylor SO MUCH

@cowboylikezain This is why Rihanna is my goat

@cowboylikezain Now you just stupid for ts and you know it. You think Taylor has never taken inspiration? (Not a dig at Taylor, just you!) like yall just wanna hate and hate on a woman that CLEARLY has talent. You also don’t even know the full story. Yall r sooooooooo insufferable

@cowboylikezain Guarantee she stole less than Led Zeppelin

@cowboylikezain @NewsForShakira just leaving this here

@cowboylikezain Literally everyone draws inspiration from someone else... it's not about who does it first, it's about who does it best

@cowboylikezain Get a fucking job

@cowboylikezain Oh beypedo beythief beytalentless

@cowboylikezain The fact that the beehive will still find a way to argue this is what's funny lol ok ppl recreate but the origen is when you take full credit for shit you obviously didn't do. She's had a good team that's all

@cowboylikezain y’all act like music wasn’t built on sampling

@cowboylikezain i know yall having to lie and intentionally misrepresent all of your beyoncé drags has to kill yall 😭😭💀
