 Read 582 Times Since Posted on 0000-00-00 A copyright infringment lawsuit involving the #1 single "Baby Boy" by Beyonce Knowles was dismissed in a US District Court. In July 2004, Jennifer Armour filed a lawsuit against Beyonce and other writers and producers of the song, which include Scott Storch, rapper Jay-Z, Jamaican artist Sean Paul and Sony Music, claiming "Baby Boy" was similiar to her song "Got a Little Bit of Love for You." Armour said she shopped the single and eventually submitted it to Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles in March of 2003. In the lawsuit Armour, who is from Minneapolis, Minnesota, said she noticed Knowles and Sean Paul performing a similiar song titled "Baby Boy," during the Macy's 4th of July celebration. Armour claimed the song's lyrics and hook were taken from her song. According to Mathew Knowles, Beyonce's single was actually recorded in February 2003. It was released on Beyonce's 2003 solo debut Dangerously in Love, which topped Billboard's Top 200 chart and has sold over 11 millions copies worldwide. The court did a comparison of the songs and ruled that the songs were substantially different. "It's unfortunate that lawsuits such as this one occur, but I am grateful and relieved to have this behind me and I am eager to move on," Knowles said in a statement.
