Beyonce Recording is a Hoax

Earlier this week the Howard Stern Show played a recording, supposedly of Beyonce, singing horribly. The clip has since gone viral--though it's actually fake.

Beyonce spoke to MTV about the hoax, telling them, "It's perfect promotion, whoever came up with that idea."

Added her father-manager Matthew Knowles: "At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability."

Twitterers came to Beyonce's defense--but also continued to spread the clip around.
