Details of the legal heat have sprouted across the Internet.

Monika Miczura, aka Mitsou, says Bey, Jay and producer Timbaland pilfered a Roma folk song she recorded in 1995, then used it for the first 13 seconds of the hit song. Mitsou says she never gave them permission, but even worse, her song is about hopelessness yet Beyonce used it “to evoke foreign eroticism alongside the sexually intense lyrics.” (TMZ)

The alleged victim has requested damages and restrictions on the song.

Mitsou says the 3 amigos bastardized her song — “Bajba, Bajba Pelem” — by digitally manipulating her voice with Auto-Tune and various cuts. She wants damages and is also asking a judge to prohibit anyone from playing the song as long as it has her voice. (TMZ)

Young Hov and Bey surprised fans at pop star Justin Timberlake‘s Barclays Center concert Sunday (December 14).

Justin Timberlake’s “20/20 Experience Tour” pulled into Brooklyn on Sunday night. In addition to performing his vast catalog of hits, the pop superstar brought out BK’s own Jay Z for their Magna Carta collaboration “Holy Grail.” (Rap-Up)

Aside from this, details of Jay and Bey’s interest in an $85 million dream home emerged online a few months ago.

Having tested the waters at that $45-million home, the couple several times toured a newly built mega-mansion for sale in Beverly Hills at $85 million, according to real estate agents. The sleek, nearly 23,000-square-foot contemporary is set on roughly an acre in the Trousdale Estates area. Features include a $200,000 candy bar/room, panoramic views of Los Angeles, an 18-seat theater, a 14-person spa with swimming jet and top-of-the line furnishings. (Los Angeles Times)
