Beyoncé gets slammed by boyband 911 for allegedly copying them
Beyoncé surprisingly took her signature move, her booty shake, from the boyband 911 according to their shocking admission.
The 43-year-old allegedly copied the band’s move and never even mentioned them, the 90s band claimed in a BBC documentary.
911, the British boyband comprised of Lee Brennan, Jimmy Constable and Simon ‘Spike’ Dawbarn scored top ten singles in the UK in five years before they eventually disbanded.
Spike revealed in the documentary that Beyoncé was amazed by their shaking move when they performed it at a 1997 show.
Spike said, “There’s something about that move… we did a TV show with Destiny’s Child. We performed and we did Bodyshakin’ and Beyonce was like ‘show us that move! Keep doing it.’”
The 50-year-old popstar continued, “And me and jimmy were just stood there, doing the move because if Beyoncé asked you, you did it!”
“So when you watch Beyoncé videos doing the booty shake I’m like ‘ah, she robbed it!’ We did it first!”
Discussing the copied move, songwriter John McLaughlin spoke on the documentary, “Spike and Jimmy were fantastic dancers. It wasn’t even dancing, it was acrobatics…”
“So I was like OK, let’s give them a song that’s a themed song. We wanted it to sound like a dance. A word that just sticks in your brain. When Bodyshakin’ came, I thought ah that’s it!”
Queen Bey or her representatives have not yet commented on the situation.
