The latest involves songwriter Diane Warren and some seemingly shady tweets.On Monday, Warren took to Twitter, writing an apparent jab at the songwriting credits on Beyoncé’s «Alien Superstar.»«How can there be 24 writers on a song?” she wrote with a rolling-eyes emoji. Warren claimed that her question wasn't meant to be shady, though she added in a since-deleted reply, „That's 23 more than on mine.“ features plenty of sampling and interpolation; »Alien Superstar" samples Foremost Poets' «Moonraker,» Right Said Fred's «I'm Too Sexy,» «Do It Your Way» by Mood II Swing, which itself sampled «Black Theater Speech» by Barbara Ann Teer, which also makes an appearance in the song.

Diane Warren has apologised after making controversial comments about the numbers of co-writers on Beyoncé‘s new album, ‘Renaissance’.On Monday (August 1), Warren tweeted, “How can there be 24 writers on a song?” alongside an eye-roll emoji. The tweet was likely referring to ‘Alien Superstar’, a song on ‘Renaissance’ which credits two dozen songwriters.Those include the likes of Honey Dijon, Jay-Z, Lucky Daye, Labrinth and 070 Shake, but many of the credits are also due to sampling and interpolation of other artists’ songs.
