What happened
Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s label, has asked a judge to permanently dismiss legal claims and impose monetary sanctions on DaShawn Hayes. The dispute centers on the intro to the track “Alien Superstar,” which samples John Holiday’s 1998 track “Moonraker”. Parkwood Entertainment argues that Shuji Hirose, a music catalog owner, has changed his story regarding the ownership of “Moonraker”.
