Beyonce & Jay Z Sued? 'Drunk In Love' A Rip Off? Hungarian Singer Alleges Superstar Pair Stole Her Voice!

Did Beyonce and Jay Z steal "Drunk In Love"? That's the claim from a Hungarian singer named Mitsou, who is suing the couple, as well as producer Timbaland, for the use of her voice as an uncredited a cappella sample for the first 13 seconds of "Drunk In Love", and then used in conjunction with both Beyonce and Jay Z's voices for "over one and a half minutes" of the five and half minute tune. Mitsou - real name Monika Juhasz Miczura - is suing for 'damages' and also an injunction of anyone playing the song while the case is heard.

As TMZ report, Mitsou is alleging the pair - along with the song's co-writers Noel Fisher ('Detail), Brian Soko, Jerome Harmon, Jordan Asher ('Boots') and Timbaland - "pilfered a Roma folk song she recorded in 1995, then used it for the first 13 seconds of the hit song."

TMZ go on to say that Mitsou is upset that not only did she not give Beyonce permission, but that the song was written "to evoke foreign eroticism" rather than, um, getting hammered, being in love and surborts.

The court documents say she claims they used her "voice for purposes of trade without written consent."

The case, the documents state, concerns Beyoncé's hit "Drunk in Love", which features her husband, hip hop impresario Jay-Z. Mitsou's lawyers claim that "though uncredited, the song also features the unique voice of Mitsou, a Hungarian singer of considerable international acclaim, and uses it to evoke foreign eroticism alongside the sexually intense lyrics performed by Beyoncé and Jay-Z in "Drunk in Love"."

They go on to say "Mitsou's voice was sampled and digitally manipulated without her permission" using auto-tune and that the original sample was "from a recording she made in 1995 of "Bajba, Bajba Pélem", a traditional Roma folk song that she learned from her grandmother and that Mitsou wished to preserve."

As The Fader point out, Jay Z had another deliberation heard in a NYC court last week as a "Manhattan federal district judge dismissed a case that claimed that Jay Z ripped off a single syllable - that first "Oh!" from Eddie Bo's "Hook and Sling - Part I"-for "Run This Town"." The judge found in Jay's favor.

What do you think? Could that intro on Bey and Jay's "Drunk In Love" be Mitsou? You can listen to one of her songs (with her band Mitsoura) below:
