Beyoncé running #MeToo checks on collaborators for ‘Renaissance’ album: report
seventh studio album is set to drop on July 29, made the decision after her former collaborator was charged with rape, The Sun reported Tuesday.Music producer Detail, who won a Grammy in 2015 for co-writing Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s smash hit “Drunk in Love,” was accused of sexual abuse in 2020. He has vehemently denied the claims.Detail, whose real name is Noel Fisher, was arrested in August 2020 on 15 counts of sexual assault and five counts of felony assault for alleged attacks between 2010 and 2018.The producer, who has also produced hit songs for Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj, was held on almost $6.3 million bail and has no part in the singer’s latest music release.But in an ultra-cautious bid to avoid getting caught up in any potential messiness, the multi-Grammy Award winner resorted to vetting her collaborators.“Beyonce was devastated when she found out Detail, one of her past collaborators, was accused of rape and sexual assault,” a source told The Sun.“She stopped working with him and her team now run #MeToo checks on any potential collaborators.
