A British boy band has slammed Beyonce for ‘stealing’ a signature dance move from them.
Beyonce is once again being slammed by another musical act as a 90s British group claims that she ‘stole’ one of her iconic dance moves from them after they were the ones who taught it to her.
The singer, whose reinvention with her Cowboy Carter album saw her rack up a record number of Grammy nominations, which infuriated fans of artists who were ‘snubbed,’ but saw her ignored at the CMA awards, is no stranger to accusations that she has sampled from other artists.
However, the new claims come in the form of a BBC docuseries, Boybands Forever.
In the episodes, 90s group 911 claims that they were the ones who taught her how to do her signature booty shake.
They now say he “robbed’ them of the move.

The group, which consisted of Lee Brennan, Jimmy Constable and Simon ‘Spike’ Dawbarn for five years, recalled famously shaking their bodies while performing their 1997 hit Bodyshakin’.
In the doc, Sawbarn recalled Beyonce’s fascination with their show.
“There’s something about that move…we did a TV show with Destiny’s Child. We performed and we did Bodshakin’ and Beyonce was like ‘show us that move! Keep doing it,’” he recalled.
“And me and jimmy were just stood there, doing the move because if Beyonce asked you, you did it!”
He then remembered seeing her repeat it in videos.
“So when you watch Beyonce videos doing the booty shake I’m like ‘ah, she robbed it!’ We did it first!’” he said.
The Grammy-winner has not addressed he band’s claims.
