Well, well, well. Looks like Beyoncé has been caught in ANOTHER 'how much did she contribute to the song' scandal. The co-songwriter and producer of Destiny's Child's hit song "Bootylicious" Rob Fusari (also the man behind Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi") has spoken out about the situation regarding the song. I'm sure you can guess what said situation is. Beyoncé turns around and says she came up with the whole thing, when in fact; she didn't...
Rob Fusari says...
B needs to stop this mess. It's becoming clear that she doesn't write half the songs she's credited for writing. Listening to I am...Sasha Fierce you can tell what she wrote and didn't write. Some of the lyrics are way too articulate for a broad like Beyoncé. Listen to "Satellites", "Ave Maria" and "That's why you're beautiful" and then tell me she wrote all that shit. I don't believe it.
I lost all credibility for her song writing claims after seeing it printed in Destiny's child's 8 days of Christmas that she wrote "Silent night". And Michelle Williams even managed to snag a credit by being listed as writing "O Holy night". (I guess she must've been choking on Mathew real good to have gotten that listing). And every few months there's some claim that Beyoncé didn't do what it say in her album liner notes, and how she be taking full credit for shit.
I know Matthew is trying to secure his daughters future. But nobody will think any less of Beyoncé because she isn't listed as writing all of her own material. People will think less of her however if she's credited as writing songs she didn't. It's a complete middle finger to those who are serious about their craft and go out of their way to write good songs.
I still love the bitch like cooked food. But she needs to have words with her Daddy and stop this mess. We will still love you B - even if you aren't credited as writing and producing every song on your albums.

Rob Fusari says...
I came up with the idea to build a track using the guitar riff from Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen." I really wanted to play the riff from "Eye of the Tiger," but I was flipping through my CDs in the studio and I couldn't find it. But I saw the Stevie Nicks CD and I remembered that the riff was similar.Wow. I get what Mathew is saying, but to tell a bare faced lie like that!? Would anybody lose belief in Beyoncé if she said "I worked on the song with this great new producer from New Jersey"? I think not. It's not a plan, because people are losing belief in her songwriting abilities with all these stories which surface. It's actually not hard to believe Beyoncé wrote "Bootylicious" and the whole of the Survivor album, because the lyrics for the most part are juvenile garbage anyway. But give props to those who helped you. Taking full credit for a song you did not conceive on your lonesone is not cool, and a slap in the face.
I remember watching Barbara Walters interview Beyoncé about "Bootylicious" and she told Barbara about how she came up with the idea for the track. And I was just like, "What?" I called Mathew - which was a big mistake. I got emotional, and I apologized after. But I called Mathew and said, "Mathew, like, why?" And he explained to me, in a nice way, he said, "People don't want to hear about Rob Fusari, producer from Livingston, N.J. No offense, but that's not what sells records. What sells records is people believing that the artist is everything".
