Beyoncé just announced plans to re-release a platinum edition of her self-titled album later this month but today, TMZ is reporting that she is being sued for allegedly stealing one of the songs on her last project. Backup singer Ahmad Javon Lane is claiming that Bey stole "XO" from him after he shared his song, "XOXO," with another singer that does background vocals with Bey. A lot of XOXOXO and a lot of backup singers, indeed.

In the lawsuit, he says that the song ended up with Beyoncé and on her album without his permission or consent. He is reportedly seeking at least $3 million in the case, but as you can hear from the two samples of the songs below, he might not get very far. We will continue to update this story as details emerge.
