Beyoncé Knowles, 17-time Grammy Award winner, has been slapped with a $7 million lawsuit by a country singer, who alleged that the Queen Bey stole his music for the immensely popular "XO."

Quoting Radar, Latin Post reports that recently Knowles herself explained to the court how the two songs in question do not sound similar even slightly. At the same time, the Grammy Award winner made sure that the listeners understand that she feels her reputation for being able to produce hit music now somewhat speaks for itself considering the fact that as many as 118 million records of the singer have already been sold.

According to the report, country singer Ahmad Lane filed the federal lawsuit in 2014, which named Knowles, her music company Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records as defendants. In his lawsuit, the country singer also alleged that once he worked as a background singer with Knowles' current background crooner Chrissy Collins for another artist. He claimed that while working with Collins he gave her a copy of his song "XOXO" to listen to. He believes that Collins passed it on to Beyoncé.

Countering these allegations, Knowles' attorneys told the court, "The two works at issue are entirely different songs that share no lyrical or musical similarity, other than perhaps the letters 'X' and 'O.'" In their response, they also mentioned that Lane never filed a "copyright registration" for his song.

At the same time, Knowles' attorney requested that the court listen to the songs and compare them. They argued that they don't share any "melodic content and there is no meaningful similarity in pitch series, rhythm or rhythmic patterns, melodic development or structure."

Meanwhile, way back in December 2014, TMZ reported that Beyoncé and husband Jay Z were both named as defendants in another lawsuit filed by a Hungarian woman alleging that the couple stole the basis for the hit "Drunk in Love" from a song she first recorded in 1995.
