Beyonce belly bump and cheating music ways…

(ThyBlackMan.com) Beyoncé’s been catching a lot flack lately. In the past month, if gossip bloggers weren’t clucking about her pregnancy (or non-pregnancy, as some people still believe), they were taking the diva to task for not rolling a disclaimer that her newest videos have been inspired by 90s R&B supergroups and Belgian choreographers.

Now, someone else is jumping in the “Beyoncé-copied-off-of-me” pool — Tampa rapper Khia.

This week, a sneak of Beyoncé’s video for “Party” hit the web, showing a pre-preggo Bey and a good-looking gaggle of extras enjoying a sunny summer day. It wasn’t long before Twitter fired up, and Khia accused of Beyoncé plagiarizing her “concept” for her 2002 video, “My Neck, My Back.”

That concept? A pool party.

Let’s imagine for a moment that Khia actually has a legit claim here. If she has a copyright on music videos filmed by a pool, then Fergie, Sean Kingston and pop singer Ximena Sarinana also owe her some kind of restitution for infringement. Pools will have to start checking for explicit permission from Khia’s legal team before allowing film crews on the premises. College friends won’t be able to upload summertime pool shenanigans onto Youtube, lest they get a cease and desist letter from Tampa, Florida. What a sad way end to a summer.
