The-Dream allegedly ‘pitted Rihanna against Beyonce’ according to lawsuit
Grammy Award-winning songwriter The-Dream was recently accused of rape and sex trafficking by a singer and the lawsuit mentioned Rihanna and Beyonce
Songwriter The-Dream, real name Terius Gesteelde-Diamant, was recently accused of rape, sexual battery, and sex trafficking.
He had signed the alleged victim to his label Contra Paris, with a distribution deal set up with Sony-owned Epic Records. While they worked together, the accuser claimed that Dream would consistently put down one of the biggest names in music – Rihanna.
Dream has helped create some of the biggest hits in music like Beyonce’s Single Ladies, Rihanna’s Umbrella, and Justin Bieber’s Baby. He’s won eight Grammy Awards over the course of his career.

In the lawsuit obtained by The Mirror, filed Tuesday in a California court, the victim claimed she was trapped in an “abusive, violent and manipulative relationship filled with physical assaults, violent sexual encounters, and horrific psychological manipulation.” He also allegedly falsely promised to help the victim’s career and brought up the A-List talent he’s worked with in the past.
“Dream frequently pitted Rihanna against Beyonce implying that Rihanna was fighting for his attention and was frustrated that he was giving it to Beyonce instead of her,” the lawsuit stated. “He said that Rihanna was begging him for good records but because of his special ‘sanctuary’ relationship with Beyonce, he saved them for Beyonce and that [the victim] could be part of that as well.”
The suit also claimed that the Fenty musician “was possessive over him and got angry when he worked with Beyonce.”

Dream also apparently told the victim, “in an apparent effort to reiterate how grateful [she] should be for the opportunity to work with him,” that Rihanna would send him “flowers and other gifts.”
The songwriter has denied all accusations against him. He said in a statement to the New York Times: “These claims are untrue and defamatory. I oppose all forms of harassment and have always strived to help people realize their career goals.”
“As someone committed to making a positive impact on my fellow artists and the world at large, I am deeply offended and saddened by these accusations,” he continued.
