Beyoncé Replies to Right Said Fred's 'Incredibly Disparaging' Accusations About 'I'm Too Sexy' Sample On 'Renaissance'

Beyoncé is speaking out after being called “arrogant” by “I’m Too Sexy” hitmakers Right Said Fred.

The 41-year-old “Dangerously In Love” superstar referenced “I’m Too Sexy” on her Renaissance track “Alien Superstar,” a move that was criticized by the original artists.

“Normally the artist approaches us, but Beyoncé didn’t because she is such an arrogant person,” group members and brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass said during an interview with The Sun. “She just had probably thought, ‘Come and get me,’ so we heard about it after the fact when you did.”

However, it appears that Beyoncé remembers the story differently, and she just shared her response.

Taylor Swift Sends Flowers to Right Said Fred for Co-Writing 'Look What You Made Me Do'!

Taylor Swift is extremely grateful for Right Said Fred.

The 27-year-old pop sensation just released her “I’m Too Sexy”-sampling comeback track “Look What You Made Me Do” at midnight on Friday (August 25), and she and co-writer Jack Antonoff expressed her gratitude to the duo by sending them flowers.

“Thank you so much to @taylorswift13 & @jackantonoff – very kind!” Right Said Fred wrote on Twitter along with a photo of the bouquet, which also came with a handwritten note.

“Look what you made us do…we love you and can’t wait for a chance to celebrate with you!” the note from Taylor and Jack reads.

Right Said Fred Reacts to Taylor Swift Sampling 'I'm Too Sexy'

The infamous Right Said Fred song “I’m Too Sexy” is sampled during the chorus of Taylor Swift‘s new single “Look What You Made Me Do” and now the group is reacting to it!

The guys said that Taylor‘s team reached out before the release of the song to ask for permission to sample the track and they even received a writing credit.

“We had people on the phone from the U.S. just checking that we were okay for her to use it and that we were cool with it and weren’t going to kick up a fuss – which, obviously, we didn’t,” band member Richard Fairbrass told People. “Fred and I have always been of the view that it’s the song that is the most important thing and musicians should always stick together because if we start to get a bit angry with each other that’s when it gets a bit depressing.”

Taylor told the group that she’s going to send them a “prezzie” and Richard says “she and everyone around her have been great.”

“I am more than happy with [the song],” Richard added. “She used the rhythm as much as anything. It’s flattering. When we recorded ‘Sexy’ I didn’t think it would last more than six months. So to be talking about it 26 years later and a star like Taylor using it and being influenced by it is really flattering. Absolutely flattering.”
