Looks like Queen Bey may face legal woes after using a recorded line from a deceased New Orleans rapper for her song "Formation" without permission. The estate of YouTube star Anthony Barre, Messy Mya, filed a suit against the singer over her samples of his 2010 video 'A 27 Piece Huh?' Barre's estate accused Beyoncé of taking the late artist's “I like that” phrase without permission, making millions from the hit song. Mya's estate is now suing the star for $20 million in royalties and damages, TMZ reported.
