Who cares? Of course they are going to say ridiculous things, that’s what they do. And the Grammys are stupid bullshit where mascots like beyoncé get to claim credit for the work actual musicians did. It isn’t dei, just capitalism. I don’t think beyoncé ever wrote a song in her life, so what is the award for being the best singer? Because she’s not that either…
You don’t have to believe anything. Go look up the credits. Beyoncé was probably the least talented out of dozens of people who made that album, and she did not write any song unless you count vanity credits.
Beyonce like many big pop artists gets a songwriting credit if she performs on the song. This is standard as it gets you a cut of 5e sales. That being said, I have a hard time believing someone else wrote Lemonade.
I was curious if there was an industry reason why people don’t believe she participates in writing her songs, since I don’t know much about her or the industry.
The conversation here is interesting, and now I know very slightly more than I did! I do still feel like if she added one word to all of those songs, she’s written at least one total song, haha. Plus the stuff that’s more personal.

There’s a guy who has writing credit on “Uptown Funk” because he came up with one line “Don’t believe me? Just watch!” which is the hook. Sometimes that little contribution is what makes it work

I have a hard time believing “Lemonade” an album about her husband’s infidelity didn’t involve her contributions at the very least.
