Singer-songwriter and “Love & Hip Hop” alum Lyrica Anderson says she learned about Industry Rule No. 4080 the hard way … after doing all the heavy lifting getting Beyoncé an 8X platinum certified hit!!!
Lyrica was a recent guest on Shirley Temple’s podcast and shared her regret on forfeiting her credits on Beyoncé and Jay-Z‘s mega-hit “Drunk In Love” back in 2013.
The credits are stacked with names outside of Bey and Jay … Timbaland, Detail, SoolGotHits, Dre Moon — which was exactly the problem for Lyrica.
Lyrica claims she wrote the track from “top to bottom” — even deriving Beyoncé’s “loveeeee” run on the chorus … but got propositioned to go credit-less because things were slim-pickins once Yoncé had her Nala lion’s share.
On the bright side, her work on the song “Jealous” — from the same self-titled Beyoncé album as “Drunk In Love” — has her name firmly planted.
We reached out to Bey for comment … no word back yet. She’s been in Cowboy Carter mode on tour.
