Beyonce has spoken out on the release of a tape rumored to be an unedited board mix of her performance of “If I Were a Boy” on The Today Show last November.

“Of course I’m just hearing about this today — and I haven’t heard it but it sounds completely ridiculous,” Mrs. Carter told MTV during a press junket for her Fatal Attraction rip-off, Obsessed, opening everywhere Friday.

“Everyone’s heard me sing and it’s perfect timing, actually, because I’ll be on the ‘Today’ show tomorrow singing ‘Halo,’ or tonight you can watch me sing live on David Letterman! It’s perfect promotion, whoever came up with that idea,” she smiled.

TMZ.com has since revealed that the unbearable audio was a hoax orchastrated by Howard Stern.
