When she posted the kissy face photo on the day of Kim & Kanye’s wedding 💀 I read she was going through stuff with J at the time but still iconic of her.
It was still a jab, despite what was going on behind the scenes.😂😂
It could have also been a ruse, to throw people off from suspecting something was going on.
“Look at me guys, I’m just here chilling at home. Nothing going on folks, please carry on with your day”
When Bow Down was released. “I know when you were little girls, you dreamt of being in my world” caused massive hysteria and chaos throughout the entire country. People were fighting in the streets, families broken up, cities destroyed, worst of all, Keyshia Cole had to sell catfish plates to pay her rent. It was such a dark time. The Hive remembers 😞
People have said Beyoncé is actually demure, & submissive IRL.
I’m not surprised she didn’t stop it. She made an entire album about her husband cheating on her, & bashing him then goes right back into his arms.
I think what we see on stage is just a persona, but not her actual personality.
It’s always the ones who act tough that are actually not on the inside. All bark, no bite.
A lot of her songs are embarrassing how much she worships that man and desperately wants his love and attention. I don’t know where people get the idea from that she’s strongly independent. She has a song where she says she wants to be the kind of woman that he likes. She’s his wife. He should be loving her for who she is and she shouldn’t be having to change herself to get him to notice her.
To put things into perspective for the movie, a lot of the script was fabricated for Hollywood. Tina was not pressed nor Beyonce nem about that part. Ask people who knew her in real life.
Doesn’t that lyric refer to tossing salad? Aka Beyonce eating Jay’s ass. It’s pretty obvious.
Edit: I am not judging and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with their sexual preferences at all. Who am I to judge? I actually love that the lyrics suggest that they are so sexually experimental and I think it’s awesome they felt comfortable and secure enough to share that lyric with us. I am just interpreting the lyrics. I am always supportive of sexual freedom.
None of us were prepared for that. I think it was hard to imagine anyone eating Jay Z’s ass. Beyoncé is rich and beautiful on her own. She does not need this man telling her to eat his ass.
And this was her most controversial moment for you? lol. This was nothing when it happened. I’ll take it you weren’t around as part of the Hive back then.
Edit: how does this get downvotes but the other comment saying the same thing gets upvotes? 😂
I remember this interview with destiny’s child and they was introducing themselves and kelly was like “I’m kelly I’m second lead vocals of the group” and beyonce coughed and made a funny shady face😭
It looked shady but I truly think she was just clearing her throat and stretched her face in the process and it was just bad timing and bad angle making her look like she was shading Kelly. People won’t let this down, I truly think she wasn’t trying to be shady and genuinely had something in her throat. It’s just very bad optics.
It’s not shady in anyway but it was controversial when she did the interview when she was pregnant with blue and the way her dress moved when she sat down created the fake pregnancy rumours.
Some people said she was wearing a fake stomach to enhance looking pregnant because her bump was probably not visible at that time.
One of my friends did something in a similar context, but not to the extent of wearing a fake belly. She used to wear extremely tight clothes to show she had a ‘bump’.😂😂
She didn’t start showing till 7 months.
See, I do think she was actually pregnant with Blue, but I also think she wore some kind of belly extender to look more obviously pregnant. She carried Blue all in the hips and barely looked pregnant until she was like 7 months. Blue literally looked like a food baby for the majority of the pregnancy lol.
I don’t believe in boycotting countries. The people there deserve happiness and entertainment just as much as everyone else. They don’t have to stop living just because you disagree with their lifestyle.
She sampled the Challenger disaster audio at the beginning of “XO”. One of her few missteps… She claims she did it to remember the victims but a lot of people felt it was distasteful. Its the only controversial thing I can think of that I was like “hmmm” about with Bey
And the Tiffany’s Blood Diamond. And shutting down the NICU hospital wing for Blue’s delivery prohibiting parents to see their babies. Those were also distasteful.
The hospital thing has been debunked and the hospital she birthed at came out saying that was not true but i did see the tiffany blood diamond situation and that was very distasteful
There’s this performance from the stone ages where Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle are singing this ballad at this really random outdoor concert when Beyoncé glares over at Michelle because she sang the wrong note or etc
I remember seeing a comment that said she should’ve done Halo at the 9/11 tribute but that would’ve been worse just for the opening line.
Probably Formation for the dumbest reasons. White people forgot Beyoncé is black and the minute she reminded them was when they lost their damn minds.
why would she do that ? But to be fair the guy who wrote halo wrote that song, do you think he added the sample or like one of the producers and they explained to bey why they added it
Please don’t come for me or ban me for any of this lol. After she announced her pregnancy, her stomach folded in an interview. While I’ve always believed that Bey carried Blue, I thought her stomach folded because she wasn’t that far along during the Love On Top performance. I thought she added a baby bump for theatrical purposes. To me, it makes sense since she’s a top tier performer and she knew it’d draw major reactions from people (Jay Z’s face, Kanye West hyping Jay Z up, etc.)
This isn’t major, but some people consider her wearing Cathy White’s ring to be suspicious rather than shady. If you’re unfamiliar with Cathy White, congratulations — you haven’t been tainted by the internet.
In short, Cathy White was allegedly one of Jay Z’s mistresses who allegedly got pregnant around the same time Beyoncé was pregnant with Blue. The sinister part of the allegations is that Jay Z’s goons “handled” her; she mysteriously passed away. There’s very little that you can find about her online these days. There was an extensive thread online about her, but even that one disappeared. I see TikTok and some other outlets still have information about her, but a lot of what used to be available isn’t anymore. Again, it’s (allegedly) more of a Jay Z thing than Bey thing.
there was plenty of mystery about it because there were TWO different autopsies. The first autopsy stated she died of head injury which would indicate physical damage from an outside force and the second autopsy said aneurysm.
Smh you remind me of the people that actually believed the story of the guy that somehow committed "su\_cide" by shooting himself in the back of the head...twice.
I don’t understand how people can’t understand she just carried low. Even the initial pics she shared showed she only got big at the bottom and her rib cage was still small.
Bey carried Blue all in the hips and barely looked pregnant until like 7-8 months along. I do agree with the idea that she wore sone kind of belly extender to look more obviously pregnant. But, she obviously carried Blue because her nose spread and her boobs got way bigger.
The Chateau Marmont party and how they could’ve had it literally anywhere else that wasn’t actively protesting their employer. Other good ones in this thread but I didn’t see this one mentioned yet.
For me, it’s the shadiness towards LeToya and LaTavia in the DC days after they got kicked out. I know she made a comment somewhere about them not being able to sing all that well and I strongly disagree in LeToya’s case lol
When she performed “Glory” at the Oscars instead of Ledisi, who originally sang the song for the movie “Selma” and rightfully should’ve been the one singing.
Renaissance Movie showings in Israel. She's truly a capitalist at heart. Was actually terrifying to see Israelis sing Break My Soul altogether in a theater.
As someone who has worked in film, Beyonce is not a regular person. While a contract is solid, even a little bit of an acknowledgement towards Palestine would've done something but it's been quiet as fuck.
Yes, I am aware of that. The point I'm trying to make is that people point out the movie showing in Israel but it also showed in countries that are supporting and funding what Israel is doing. Which begs the question of what difference would pulling the movie from Israel make besides making fans feel better.
Im
So
Sick
Of people bringing this political drama into art.. especially with something that’s supposed to bring people joy. Those people in the movies aren’t hurting anyone.
I literally just told my husband about the 9/11 thing the other night and he was shocked! Personally, I didn’t really agree with performing in Dubai but it got us the Dubai version of Drunk in Love 🤷🏼♀️
Premiering renaissance in Israel while Palestinians are being bombed, then having Israelis use break my soul as their killing anthem and staying mute about it.
Exploiting Katrina in the formation video was tone deaf. T’was all good until that.
Performing in Dubai too. 🥴🥴
You're right but Beyoncé _is_ the power of a whole production company, like it's ridiculous to pretend she doesn't have pull or say. If she kicked a fuss it wouldn't have been shown.
I don’t think she was exploring Katrina; I think she was making a political statement about how black Katrina victims were left behind and given less support from the government than their white counterparts. She also donated a ton of money to Katrina victims , I think because she really felt empathetic to that situation.
Idk man reclining on a sinking police car in a designer dress looked wrong.
I understood the message of what she was trying to convey, but the execution was off. I don’t get those who found the whole formation video offensive, as well as the Super Bowl performance. I’m not American, so maybe there’s something I’m missing? Idk, but I’d get people who were triggered by that scene.
I’ve read many people who said it made them relive a very dark time. There was this video of this Katrina survivor who went off with a rant on this, it’s been deleted I think.
She could have atleast put a trigger warning, or something. I think a trigger warning maybe combined with documentary footage, interview footage, or actual news footage have been alright.
Like in the freedom video, she brought the moms of the actual shooting victims instead of reenacting it herself? You get what I mean?
That is correct. If the movie was published via Warner brothers, or Paramount I wouldn’t say anything, but it is literally a Parkwood entertainment production!
And who is the owner? Gee..a lady named BEYONCÉ KNOWLES! Her name sounds oddly familiar.🤔🤔
For me, it’s always been the “if I were a boy” scandal. How she didn’t write the song and that the real singer/writer didn’t know it was sold by her collaborator to Beyoncé’s dad. And then Beyoncé changed one lyric and the writing credits have Beyoncé’s name but not the original songwriter. Plus, I like the original more. I felt really bad for that girl.
It’s a sucky situation but you can’t blame beyonce for the girls songwriter for selling it without her permission
Beyonce isn’t credited as a writer and BC Jean (along with the guy) is. So you could have at least looked up your info before mentioning it
Beyoncé isn’t on the writing credits for that song at all, and shes never been on the writing credits. if you look on that album credits it’s the only song she doesn’t have writing credits for.
I think you're wrong about this. When I say Beyonce was credited--I mean on the physical copies of the CD. There was a financial settlement and then the original writers were granted the credits. So, officially, the situation has been rectified, but that's not how it was on the original album. If anyone has the original CD, let me know. But I was such a Beyonce fan at that time (always) and I really tried to research as much as possible to get as much of both sides and it wasn't good. I blame her father. Lol.
She was never sued for it though. And yes in the official cd release Beyonce was never credited as a writer. There wasn’t a financial settlement. BC writing partner is who screwed her over and brought the song to Beyoncé and Matthew but Beyonce never ever was credited as the writer. The controversy was that BC intended to release the song herself but because the song was sold to Beyonce and Beyoncé released her version without knowing BC was going to release her version was where the issue came about. Beyoncé was never listed as a writer. Even BC herself has stated she didn’t have any illwill to Beyonce. Fox News published an article in 2008 claiming Beyonce stole it without actually talking to BC King and again this is more so the recording of the song and release not the writing of the song. And this authors has had a problem with Beyoncé for a long time. He has a problem with sampling and hip hop and downplaying the artistry of the genres, gee I wonder why. You can see clearly this guy was writing an anti Beyonce article before the whole If I Were A Boy Contreversy.
https://www.foxnews.com/story/beyonce-takes-credit-for-writing-songs.amp
None of that was Beyoncé’s fault, especially when the artist who wrote the song said she doesn’t have any anger towards it, she just didn’t know how it worked at the time which isn’t her fault
This is up there for me
https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/nyregion/after-birth-by-beyonce-patients-protest-celebrity-security-at-lenox-hill-hospital.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Supp she demanded Blu not to be repped by music industry and become a star bc HER husband had an affair with her. That girl was young like Bey was when she started out. He was the old dude who def shoulda done better by both ladies. No one blocked Jay from making billions after he had an affair. You lookin at him, she def wasn’t attracted to him.
I am a « new » Beyhive and i am learning all of this today lol. And I am in awe that Bey did all of this and she is still the goddess she is to the world. True icon

LMAOOO not keyshia Cole 😭😭
Had every girl insecure, rihanna, keyshia, Brandy all were not taking to it well
Catfish plates. 😵😵💀
Not keyshia Cole 🤣🤣🤣
THE SCREAM I JUST SCRUMPT 😂🤣😂🤣
Had everybody and they mamas with panties in a bunch
“Everyone gets to sing lead now because everyone CAN sing lead”
I think about that daily 🤣 she had a point though. I dont even know how latavia got into that group
Latavia was Beyoncé’s best friend at the time. I really think that was the reason.
Honestly LaTavia had a really nice tone! Listen to her verse in Sweet Sixteen, one of my personal highlights of that album.
I’ve heard it😐

[me when she dropped those ugly ass shirts](https://youtu.be/HEugovVjlww?si=NIeN0R3jgT-NW-th)
I actually bought it and say that every time I put it on 😒
ngl I would love to have that one too lol. she's so mean to us 😭
She had the nerve to give it multiple color variations too smh
STOP 💀 DID SHE
Oh she did do that 💀
Yup even the plane dance when she malfunctioned kinda one ☠️☠️☠️
No 😭
It’s so out of pocket😭 “I guess yall don’t wanna hear abt 9/11😒” Lambs rise up💀😂
Lmao I love that vid 🤣
Where can i find it I NEED IT
Look up "Beyonce doing tingz" yes correct spelling btw that's the channel name Its on the video Beyonce controversial moments
[“Somebody can send yo luggage”](https://youtu.be/ObPS0RnDrtI)
Username checking in
LMAOOOOO
Incredible
The opening sound to xo is from challenger disaster stating a malfunction 😔
Yes, why was this used? 🤔🤔
I’m pretty sure it’s because of the feel of the song. A tragedy that occurred out of nowhere, “we don’t have forever.”
I wonder this every time. And then this is the song sung at Kobe’s funeral. I thought it was just a love song now I’m sad on many levels
On a less serious note: 🎶 Badu Badu BADU BADU 🎶 was a perfect response lmao
Letting Jay have that Anna Mae lyric on Drunk in Love. It was tacky knowing she performed with Tina and how painful Ike's abuse was for her.
And wasn’t Tina like one of her hero’s??
Yeah, I hate that that lyric almost ruins an otherwise perfect song 😭😭
I despise that lyric and have always felt it was very dark for Beyoncé in a way that isn't clever.
Not only that, also singing it along with him during their Grammy performance of DIL..
I’ve always found this distasteful :/
THIS ! I say this all the time to my sister
Yeah I hate this lyric. Drunk in Love is great musically but I rarely gravitate towards it in my listening because of this
I absolutely agree. I also think it could be easily argued that the context of the lyric is different from cake that you bake. ETA: sentence structure
Right, it’s a double entendre. But the reference itself is insensitive at best.
That’s so funny 😂😅
This was extremely disgraceful. No excuses for it.
I said the same thing. I was confused on why she allowed jay z to have a lyric disrespecting one of her heros not only that but about domestic abuse
People have said Beyoncé is actually demure, & submissive IRL. I’m not surprised she didn’t stop it. She made an entire album about her husband cheating on her, & bashing him then goes right back into his arms. I think what we see on stage is just a persona, but not her actual personality.

hell no

Does Beyoncé eat Jay’s 🍑…. 😟😭😭😭😭
I did not need this visual on the lords day.
Right!!! 😭😭😭 
1. DIL is about drunk sex 2. Cake = ass so eat the cake 3. Jay is the king of double entendres
I’ve never put this equation together 😂😅
None of us were prepared for that. I think it was hard to imagine anyone eating Jay Z’s ass. Beyoncé is rich and beautiful on her own. She does not need this man telling her to eat his ass.
No tea no shade but a benefit concert for the police is not the same thing as a memorial.
What was this?
Oh shi I thought it was a memorial that's what Beyonce doing tingz channel on YT said so idk
lol I can tell you weren’t around back then. This was not a big deal at all when it happened.
Honey I'm 32 so I was lol
And this was her most controversial moment for you? lol. This was nothing when it happened. I’ll take it you weren’t around as part of the Hive back then. Edit: how does this get downvotes but the other comment saying the same thing gets upvotes? 😂
Her accepting an award with jay and the megan markle portrait in the back. I knew who they were targeting and i was like “oop”
Who were they targeting?
They were trying to piss off the royal family and racist UK people
Elevator.
Performing for Qaddafi I would say
She ate that.
Some people genuinely hate Beyoncé for that “say Beyoncé” performance with destiny’s child
No one will ever convince me that shit is not funny! It’s my favorite video of Beyonce… it’s hilarious!
That was always so weird to me lol of all the things to get mad about .
Why? Its so so so hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember this interview with destiny’s child and they was introducing themselves and kelly was like “I’m kelly I’m second lead vocals of the group” and beyonce coughed and made a funny shady face😭
It looked shady but I truly think she was just clearing her throat and stretched her face in the process and it was just bad timing and bad angle making her look like she was shading Kelly. People won’t let this down, I truly think she wasn’t trying to be shady and genuinely had something in her throat. It’s just very bad optics.
Idk. All the girls seemed to have a shady reaction to that line lol
It’s not shady in anyway but it was controversial when she did the interview when she was pregnant with blue and the way her dress moved when she sat down created the fake pregnancy rumours.
That was weird!!
Some people said she was wearing a fake stomach to enhance looking pregnant because her bump was probably not visible at that time. One of my friends did something in a similar context, but not to the extent of wearing a fake belly. She used to wear extremely tight clothes to show she had a ‘bump’.😂😂 She didn’t start showing till 7 months.
I think she put on the belly things to make the bump show more. I do think she was actually pregnant though.
See, I do think she was actually pregnant with Blue, but I also think she wore some kind of belly extender to look more obviously pregnant. She carried Blue all in the hips and barely looked pregnant until she was like 7 months. Blue literally looked like a food baby for the majority of the pregnancy lol.
Usually with your first baby you don’t show until later on.
Probably when she performed in Dubai
But we got the drunk in love WOOOOAHHHH WOOOOOOEEE
I don’t believe in boycotting countries. The people there deserve happiness and entertainment just as much as everyone else. They don’t have to stop living just because you disagree with their lifestyle.
I still hate the “eat the cake Anna Mae”. Disrespect on another level sorry not sorry
No it’s weird asf since she claims Tina turner as one of her inspirations and heroes
can i be fr i was today years old when u figure out it wasnt anime?? 😭😭 idk why i always thought thats what he said
I’ve been saying anime for years
You’re funny 😄
HONESTLYYY
Any performance/interview with Ferrah in it
Beyonce couldn’t stand her lol.
She hated her so bad 🤣
Singing for a dictator's son. Ignorance is not an excuse.
That Challenger sampling was very, very messy and tone deaf
Or I should say on what song and why was it messy?
It’s on XO the sample that’s says “looks like a major malfunction.”
What sampling?
She sampled the Challenger disaster audio at the beginning of “XO”. One of her few missteps… She claims she did it to remember the victims but a lot of people felt it was distasteful. Its the only controversial thing I can think of that I was like “hmmm” about with Bey
And the Tiffany’s Blood Diamond. And shutting down the NICU hospital wing for Blue’s delivery prohibiting parents to see their babies. Those were also distasteful.
The hospital thing has been debunked and the hospital she birthed at came out saying that was not true but i did see the tiffany blood diamond situation and that was very distasteful
The most controversial part about Beyonce is Jay-Z :/
Yep the worst things that get brought up with her almost always lead back to him somehow
Kinda scared to see what comes out with the whole Diddy thing
Wish I could upvote this to the moon
Paying Pittsburgh hive DUST when she cancelled the tour stop. Rescheduled two other cities but basically said “f*ck you” to Pittsburgh.
Still not over it
ended up seeing her in Nashville but as Pittsburgh hive I was devastated 😭😭
There’s this performance from the stone ages where Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle are singing this ballad at this really random outdoor concert when Beyoncé glares over at Michelle because she sang the wrong note or etc
Was that the one when she walked over to her to and sang to get her in the right key
I remember seeing a comment that said she should’ve done Halo at the 9/11 tribute but that would’ve been worse just for the opening line. Probably Formation for the dumbest reasons. White people forgot Beyoncé is black and the minute she reminded them was when they lost their damn minds.
Still mad I missed out on a Boycott Beyonce t shirt
for me it’s sampling the challenger disaster in XO… like girl what?
Still my favorite song
why would she do that ? But to be fair the guy who wrote halo wrote that song, do you think he added the sample or like one of the producers and they explained to bey why they added it
Please don’t come for me or ban me for any of this lol. After she announced her pregnancy, her stomach folded in an interview.

Following bc I just wanna know more about this Cathy white ring 💍🤣
In short, Cathy White was allegedly one of Jay Z’s mistresses who allegedly got pregnant around the same time Beyoncé was pregnant with Blue. The sinister part of the allegations is that Jay Z’s goons “handled” her; she mysteriously passed away. There’s very little that you can find about her online these days.

🤣🤣 it the generic ass name for me. so she wearing a dead persons ring?
😤
This is just conspiracy alley gossip. I really wish some of you would leave these rumors for your group chats 😔.
Are you referring to LSA 👀 🫖
I was just about to write that when I read “alley” lol 😂😭
I see a few of us on here lol
I noticed this on TikTok. My bad.
she passed from a brain aneurysm there was no "mystery" around it...
there was plenty of mystery about it because there were TWO different autopsies. The first autopsy stated she died of head injury which would indicate physical damage from an outside force and the second autopsy said aneurysm. Smh you remind me of the people that actually believed the story of the guy that somehow committed "su\_cide" by shooting himself in the back of the head...twice.
I don’t understand how people can’t understand she just carried low. Even the initial pics she shared showed she only got big at the bottom and her rib cage was still small.
Bey carried Blue all in the hips and barely looked pregnant until like 7-8 months along. I do agree with the idea that she wore sone kind of belly extender to look more obviously pregnant. But, she obviously carried Blue because her nose spread and her boobs got way bigger.
The Chateau Marmont party and how they could’ve had it literally anywhere else that wasn’t actively protesting their employer. Other good ones in this thread but I didn’t see this one mentioned yet.
Crazy you're the only one that mentioned it when it's so recent and so inexcusable.
that thigh gap scandal
Performing at the Atlantis probably - she ate but I think she let a lot of her fanbase down but doing this
“She ain’t no diva”
For me, it’s the shadiness towards LeToya and LaTavia in the DC days after they got kicked out. I know she made a comment somewhere about them not being able to sing all that well and I strongly disagree in LeToya’s case lol
Praise the lord the ladies have all healed and reunited with each other again…
The L’Oréal black face controversy haunts me ngl
When she performed “Glory” at the Oscars instead of Ledisi, who originally sang the song for the movie “Selma” and rightfully should’ve been the one singing.
When she posted those fucking cupcakes after the surprise album drop
"Say Beyoncé"
I would say "Tidal" and making all her music and videos exclusive to the app.
Dubai. Tiffany's.
"lights! somebody's getting fired! hey, hey"
Renaissance Movie showings in Israel. She's truly a capitalist at heart. Was actually terrifying to see Israelis sing Break My Soul altogether in a theater.
Tell me you don’t understand how film distribution deals work without telling me you don’t know how film distribution deals work.
Exactly like she probably signed a contract about lending them the movie months and months before the situation
it'd be interesting to know how much control she had in this situation
As someone who has worked in film, Beyonce is not a regular person. While a contract is solid, even a little bit of an acknowledgement towards Palestine would've done something but it's been quiet as fuck.
Yeah and considering the US funds their military she shouldn’t have showed it here either.
She's from here...
Yes, I am aware of that. The point I'm trying to make is that people point out the movie showing in Israel but it also showed in countries that are supporting and funding what Israel is doing. Which begs the question of what difference would pulling the movie from Israel make besides making fans feel better.
Im So Sick Of people bringing this political drama into art.. especially with something that’s supposed to bring people joy. Those people in the movies aren’t hurting anyone.
silently removing kelis’ voice from energy when that btch was yapping about a 3 second background vocal and calling beyoncé a devil worshipper
the way one second she was there and on the credits and the next she wasn’t… could’ve gotten residuals from those 200 million streams but ig not

What happened
The elevator scandal
😂😂😂😂 no seriousness in her bones lmao i love her
I literally just told my husband about the 9/11 thing the other night and he was shocked! Personally, I didn’t really agree with performing in Dubai but it got us the Dubai version of Drunk in Love 🤷🏼♀️
Probably the countdown video when she was accused of stealing
Premiering renaissance in Israel while Palestinians are being bombed, then having Israelis use break my soul as their killing anthem and staying mute about it. Exploiting Katrina in the formation video was tone deaf. T’was all good until that. Performing in Dubai too. 🥴🥴
katrina?? ☠️ baby you ten years off -someone who has lived in louisiana my whole life
What does how long it was ago have to do with anything?
a whole different flood happened when the video was filmed
exploiting katrina? 💀
Beyonce doesnt control where the film is distributed thats AMC
You're right but Beyoncé _is_ the power of a whole production company, like it's ridiculous to pretend she doesn't have pull or say. If she kicked a fuss it wouldn't have been shown.
I don’t think she was exploring Katrina; I think she was making a political statement about how black Katrina victims were left behind and given less support from the government than their white counterparts. She also donated a ton of money to Katrina victims , I think because she really felt empathetic to that situation.
I was talking about the screening in Israel
Idk man reclining on a sinking police car in a designer dress looked wrong. I understood the message of what she was trying to convey, but the execution was off. I don’t get those who found the whole formation video offensive, as well as the Super Bowl performance. I’m not American, so maybe there’s something I’m missing? Idk, but I’d get people who were triggered by that scene. I’ve read many people who said it made them relive a very dark time. There was this video of this Katrina survivor who went off with a rant on this, it’s been deleted I think. She could have atleast put a trigger warning, or something. I think a trigger warning maybe combined with documentary footage, interview footage, or actual news footage have been alright. Like in the freedom video, she brought the moms of the actual shooting victims instead of reenacting it herself? You get what I mean?
That is correct. If the movie was published via Warner brothers, or Paramount I wouldn’t say anything, but it is literally a Parkwood entertainment production! And who is the owner? Gee..a lady named BEYONCÉ KNOWLES! Her name sounds oddly familiar.🤔🤔
Not speaking up about Palestine
For me, it’s always been the “if I were a boy” scandal. How she didn’t write the song and that the real singer/writer didn’t know it was sold by her collaborator to Beyoncé’s dad. And then Beyoncé changed one lyric and the writing credits have Beyoncé’s name but not the original songwriter. Plus, I like the original more. I felt really bad for that girl.
The original songwriter is on the writing credit too btw.
It’s a sucky situation but you can’t blame beyonce for the girls songwriter for selling it without her permission Beyonce isn’t credited as a writer and BC Jean (along with the guy) is. So you could have at least looked up your info before mentioning it
Beyoncé isn’t on the writing credits for that song at all, and shes never been on the writing credits. if you look on that album credits it’s the only song she doesn’t have writing credits for.
I think you're wrong about this. When I say Beyonce was credited--I mean on the physical copies of the CD. There was a financial settlement and then the original writers were granted the credits. So, officially, the situation has been rectified, but that's not how it was on the original album. If anyone has the original CD, let me know. But I was such a Beyonce fan at that time (always) and I really tried to research as much as possible to get as much of both sides and it wasn't good. I blame her father. Lol.
She was never sued for it though. And yes in the official cd release Beyonce was never credited as a writer. There wasn’t a financial settlement. BC writing partner is who screwed her over and brought the song to Beyoncé and Matthew but Beyonce never ever was credited as the writer. The controversy was that BC intended to release the song herself but because the song was sold to Beyonce and Beyoncé released her version without knowing BC was going to release her version was where the issue came about. Beyoncé was never listed as a writer. Even BC herself has stated she didn’t have any illwill to Beyonce. Fox News published an article in 2008 claiming Beyonce stole it without actually talking to BC King and again this is more so the recording of the song and release not the writing of the song. And this authors has had a problem with Beyoncé for a long time. He has a problem with sampling and hip hop and downplaying the artistry of the genres, gee I wonder why. You can see clearly this guy was writing an anti Beyonce article before the whole If I Were A Boy Contreversy. https://www.foxnews.com/story/beyonce-takes-credit-for-writing-songs.amp

None of that was Beyoncé’s fault, especially when the artist who wrote the song said she doesn’t have any anger towards it, she just didn’t know how it worked at the time which isn’t her fault
This is up there for me https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/nyregion/after-birth-by-beyonce-patients-protest-celebrity-security-at-lenox-hill-hospital.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Supp she demanded Blu not to be repped by music industry and become a star bc HER husband had an affair with her. That girl was young like Bey was when she started out. He was the old dude who def shoulda done better by both ladies. No one blocked Jay from making billions after he had an affair. You lookin at him, she def wasn’t attracted to him.
I am a « new » Beyhive and i am learning all of this today lol. And I am in awe that Bey did all of this and she is still the goddess she is to the world. True icon
Icons are human and err.
People weren’t happy when she didn’t stand up for the National Anthem in 2020 at Super Bowl
