Sultry pop sensation Beyonce Knowles has won a legal battle against a former business associate. His $1.5 million lawsuit accusing Beyonce of shortchanging him was thrown out of court.

Greg Walker of Icon Entertainment was suing the Grammy winner for allegedly throwing him out of a $15 million fashion deal he had arranged with Knowles and her mother, Tina, in 2003.

Walker falsely claimed that Knowles never paid him the promised $25,000 for his services employed for the creation in the singer’s clothing line, House of Dereon, in 2004.

But Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Herman Kahn dismissed Walker’s allegation saying that he never had a signed contract with Knowles, and therefore lacked a valid argument.
