Beyonce just won a victory in court — her song “XO” was not a rip-off of a song called, “XOXO” — and one of the main reasons is, for once, Bey wasn’t raunchy or sexy enough … according to a judge, anyway.
A federal judge threw out the lawsuit a singer named Ahmad Javon Lane had filed against Beyoncé — accusing her of copying his tune, “XOXO.” The judge said the songs were not the least bit similar musically or lyrically … and beyond that he said the themes were also different.
He points out Lane’s song is raw and raunchy with “explicitly sexual” lyrics … such as describing himself as “horny” and loving every inch of someone.
On the other hand, the judge said Beyonce’s “XO” is more tame and filled with romantic metaphors.
