Over the use of his voice in Beyonce's song ?Formation,? the estate of a late New Orleans YouTube star has filed a $20 million copyright infringement lawsuit against the megastar.
In the lawsuit filed in New Orleans federal court Monday, the estate of Anthony Barre claims that Barre?s voice is featured in the introduction to ?Formation.? Barre went by the name Messy Mya on YouTube. The complaint alleges Barre?s estate has received no payment or acknowledgment.
In 2010, Barre was fatally shot. His estate is demanding at least $20 million in damages and royalties.
