Beyonce Outed For Stealing Music Video From African Artist For 'Lion King' Music Video 'Spirit'

July 31. 2019

Beyonce stole the preexisting music video of South African recording artist Petite Noir and used the same album title as well entitled "The Gift"

Beyonce has been caught stealing copyrighted materials again. Last week I outed Beyonce for stealing items from the 1991 copyrighted music video “The Comfort Zone” by Vanessa Williams for her new music video “Spirit” from the “Lion King” soundtrack song. Beyonce stole Williams’ scenes wearing a blue dress in front of water and sitting in the desert wearing red waist length hair while singing (click here for other Beyonce thefts of Vanessa Williams' preexisting copyrighted works). I also outed Beyonce for stealing the song “Spirit” from 1980s pop rock band Mike and Mechanics, regarding their song “Silent Running” (Beyonce Songs 'Spirit' And 'Brown Skin Girl' From The Movie 'The Lion King' Contains Copyright Infringement And Contradictions).

Beyonce stealing the video of South African artist Petite Noir

This week Beyonce was slammed for stealing the video from a secondary source and the comparative evidence is very compelling. The Mail & Guardian newspaper exposed Beyonce for stealing from South African artist Petite Noir’s 2018 debut album entitled “La Maison Noir: The Gift and The Curse” which is an 18-minute visual album. Beyonce named the soundtrack “The Lion King: The Gift” also using some of Petite Noir’s album title and stole a host of images from the South African’s music video. Beyonce completely ripped off Petite Noir’s music video.

In the left column is Vanessa Williams in her 1991 music video "The Comfort Zone" and in the right column is Beyonce in her 2019 rip-off music video "Spirit:

Beyonce is a criminal and a disgraceful one at that. She sits on her backside all day, looking at other people’s work and scheming on how to steal them. She is disgusting. You have to be completely bats**t insane to do these things as Beyonce repeatedly does for EVERY SINGLE ALBUM SHE PUTS OUT. She’s a brainless idiot with no creativity. Anything she sees and covets, she copies. She’s an empty headed idiot, who didn’t do any of the work she is claiming as her own creations.

As stated on the site last week Beyonce stole the 2019 song "Spirit" from the 1985 #1 hit song "Silent Running" by Mike and the Mechanics:

Mike and the Mechanics in 1985 repeatedly sing the refrain: can you hear me calling

Beyonce in 2019 repeatedly sings: can you hear it calling

 

Mike and the Mechanics in 1985: rise up and fight

Beyonce in 2019: rise up to the light in the sky

 

Mike and the Mechanics in 1985: Better you should pray to God the Father and the Spirit

Beyonce in 2019: Whoa, Spirit watch the heavens open

 

Both songs are also about heaven:

Mike and the Mechanics in 1985: Better you should pray to God the Father and the Spirit will protect you from up here (up here in the song meant heaven)

Beyonce in 2019: Whoa, Spirit watch the heavens open

Beyonce is a pathetic liar and fraud. She has gone too far once again, but this time it has completely exposed her. Not to mention, in some acts of copyright thefts Beyonce has committed, her conduct is worthy of an indictment for criminal copyright infringement and racketeering, among other charges.

 

Tweets on Twitter.com denouncing Beyonce's thefts of Petite Noir's preexisting copyrighted music video 

Beyonce has made millions of dollars from criminally stealing people’s copyrights, which constitutes felonies. Beyonce is a fraudulent, dirty, greedy thief to be stealing all these copyrights, album after album she puts out, and accecpting royalties in the millions of dollars and dozens of awards for other people's work she criminally stole. She's a disgusting fake.

STORY SOURCE

Beyoncé and the Spirit of plagiarism

Zaza Hlalethwa 23 Jul 2019 15:36 - The devil works hard but Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and her creative team work harder. First she released Homecoming, a Netflix documentary following her memorable gig in 2018 as the first black woman to headline Coachella. Shortly thereafter she released a live album to accompany the documentary.

In between promoting the Lion King live-action remake, in which she voices Nala, she signed a deal with Adidas to create a new footwear and apparel line. This comes after being on tour for four months and fulfilling her Global Citizen duties.  In addition to Knowles taking on the role of Nala, the artist released The Lion King: The Gift, a 14-track album to accompany the live-action remake’s soundtrack.

The album features artists such as Jay-Z, Wizkid, Kendrick Lamar, and Childish Gambino alongside South Africa’s Moonchild Sanelly and Busiswa.
The Gift was released shortly after Knowles premiered Spirit, a single that features on both her album and the soundtrack of the Lion King remake.

As the recent Beyoncé-phoria from the The Gift began to die down, making way for commentary outside the Beyhive, talks of plagiarism related to the Spirit music video began to surface. Spirit allegedly borrows its visual cues from La Maison Noir: The Gift and The Curse, an 18-minute visual album accompanying Petite Noir’s eponymous 2018 EP. Photographer and filmmaker Justice Mukheli took to Twitter with a picture comparing frames from the two works with a caption that read: “The ridiculousness of how bluntly Beyoncé chopped Petite Noir’s work is beyond my comprehension. Frame for frame.”

The Mail & Guardian contacted Ilunga and his creative partner and wife, Rochelle Nembhard, for comment. Nkenge Arscott of Nomadic Africans, who represents the duo, responded saying: “Yannick and Rochelle are unable to offer a comment at this time. However, we do encourage you and your team to explore this further.” The Mail & Guardian also reached out to Knowles’ publicist regarding the matter. They were yet to respond at the time of publishing...
