Beyonce, just one of the folks?

Sandra Rose October 9, 2008

According to gossip columnist Roger Friedman of FOX 411, Beyonce’s label is attempting to “strip away her glamour and glitz” to prove that she is just like you.

In the stark black & white photo posted on the Z100 website, Beyonce stares blankly, her bare face showing no emotion. Her usual over-the-top image muted. Her lacefront wig dull and lifeless.

Another part of the marketing ploy was for her label to release two singles simultaneously yesterday.

Friedman theorizes that Bey’s label purposefully held back the release of her two singles so that Bey would miss the “Grammy deadline by eight days” in a move that would favor Alicia Keys who is in the same label conglomerate as Bey.

The label feels the public is growing wary of Beyonce and it’s time for Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis and Jennifer Hudson to shine.

I almost feel sorry for her. But she’s going to be alright. She needs to take a few years off to have her babies and work with a voice coach, then come back on the scene after we’ve had a chance to miss her.

Anna

Some woman don’t need make-up. If she needed it this would not even be considered. Not sure I believe the push back of the 2 singles because A. Keys is on the same record label. They don’t have the same style therefore would not cancel each other out.
Amulet

That’s good she is stepping down for a while.

But the just like us, is not working.

We starve, and live in dangerous places!
Her reality isn’t ours. She should just be her, cause we don’t even know the true her. She never shows much personality being her damn self!

Trust and believe, she’s got PLENTY of make-up on! That’s not a fresh washed face!
Sharonda

Bey and Alicia are on different labels.Can’t deny Bey’s talent though, but those songs are not that great.People will swallow anything.I love Bey though, I had to take a listen back to her in the older days when she first came out with DC.
sharnell

Sharonda, actually they are on the same label, because their lables merged or one bought out the other. How ever you want to say it! Remember when record companies started to do this in an effort to stay afloat after everyone decided to just start downloading.
Amulet

The only singer that could pull off the “just like us” was Keyshia Cole. But Bey, NO. Emotionally, everyone can relate to each other, but life-style wise she can’t.

Unless I’m mistaken .. isn’t that mascara and eye liner ?
toosexy

I think bey needs to revamp and come back with a new do, and new attitude and substance, she is so predictable it’s pathetic, I knew this would happen, she heard the public and now they want to go they way they should have in the beginning, she was to fake and scripted. their are stars that have longevity and still come back with the fire , mariah, mary, and i do think keyshia cole is going to be added to the list, the songs that were released by beyonce are not doing it. she needs to go to the drawing board againg. but her days of being the hot girl and far gone.
iscream

Bey is one of my fav.. But that whole deny my wedding I want my privacy until my album drops ploy seems to be back firing in her face.

For an artist to be as established as she is it seems she has to try and get her name out there like she just came out.

Make up or not I will never feel she is just like me bc she lives a lifestyle that I will never know. & by her being so closed off and only wanting us to know her music that’s all I can compare.

On the other hand. MJB is rich but I can identify with her bc she lets her fans in. She gives you enough but not too much.
toosexy

@iscream

you know someone made a comment on another blog, about her essence interview and all that privacy stuff she was talking about really seemed like they were jay’s word. I mean she compared herself to prince and michael jackson. I think more of that was jay just like he made that statement about larry johnson when he starred in that fantasia video. I know no female would really enjoy the secret life.

I agree with you 100% Ms Sandra Rose.. The Beyonce saturation was quite tiresome. I know she wants to be an “icon” and all… But she has mostly just been on my nerves. Especially since there are so many other genuinelt TALENTED artists out there. Bey puts on a great show, but to me, she isn’t much without the “BIG” show.
Amulet

It is TOO LATE for Beyonce to introduce herself.

She only wanted sales, and that’s we gave her. Now that she slowing down she wants us to know her. That’s not cool……..
toosexy

@iscream
I think that’s what bey don’t get, like mjb, yes she’s rich but she lets us in where we can relate to her and her feelings and her states of mind. we all women and human, when i’m listening to keyshia i can feel her, and i don’t be thinking oh she rich i be like i feel you or it hits a nerve or something, beyonce lacks that. and i know i have said that for years that’s why i couln’t dig her like that. and i know some of the younger people don’t understand that, but music is the soul and those artist back then gave you something you can feel. music is suppose to be a healer for the soul.
PAGESINADIARY

SHE NEEDS TIME OFF CAUSE I HEARD THE SINGLE YESTERDAY AND IT SOUND LIKE GARBAGE.
LB

Alicia has those categories on lock regardless of when Bay woulda put out her songs. Real talk
Amulet

Actually she is an icon because she has no personality.

She is the beautiful woman that sings, head bobs, and performs really well and that’s all we know about her.

Arkward right?

People watch her perform, thinking who is she really though?
shintrell

I read about her pushing back her singles until after the grammy deadline, also. I agree with all of you who feel like she does a BIG show, but little else. I think people hyped her up so much and in the end her music doesn’t live up to the hype.

Can you get out of my head, dang me and you thinking alike
Sharonda

Thanks for clearing that up!!Right now I’m thinking when the hell they do that!!!Lol

Bey shouldn’t compare herself to MJ and Prince because both of them had their share of album down sales because they were so bigger than what they really were.”Icons” hold a very snobbish meaning.But whatever works.People will swallow anything even if its garbage
iscream

@ toosexy those sooo sound like Jay Z’s words coming from her mouth. B4 she got with him you would see her on MTV diary, little shows on E! It was actually seeing “the real her” back then that made me like her when the world hated her (post dc breakup). When she got with him it was all about “privacy”. They would sit a seat or two away from each other @ award shows, never show up together, never acknowledge each other. What woman in love doesn’t want the world to know?

Like I said she didn’t have to take us into her bedroom but now a days you ned to do something to keep the fans interested. Now its like who cares…. 2 little 2 late.

I love when you write a seemingly innocent article and then throw a jab in at the end.
But those singles suck and Beyonce has been in this industry like 10 years and has been doing the same shallow music. If you want to go from shallow to serious you got to do it early part of your career like Pink and Christina Aguilera did. I know this is only her third solo album but it seems like she has been around forever. And however she likes to put it a Destiny’s Child album is the same thing as a Beyonce album so she basically has had a least 5 or 6 albums out. Not to mention people seem to think she is an airhead (which I don’t believe) and cannot speak properly (which I do believe). So this transition, like the Solange transition seems forced and fake. Lets see if can strip down enough to take that lace front off.

When I saw this it changed the doubts I had as to how terrible this album might be…

All the above comments, just made her an ICON.

I like Bey’s music… Dangerously In Love was a tight album.. ya’ll can’t deny her that. I wil say Bday was a lil off. But what does she need vocal coaching for Sandra??

*gagging on all the hate in this discussion*
Must go post on a different article now.. can’t breathe…

I think this is a nice shot of her. She is a natural beauty. Most of you women on this post would trade places with Beyonce in a minute!
DoodleBug

The privacy thing as people are calling it has nothing to do with Jay he dind’t put those words in her mouth. Actually, when she began dating Jay, Oprah advised B not to discuss her relationship and she followed Lady O’s advice. Beyonce’ said that on Oprah’s show. If she wants her relationship to be private what’s the big f’kin deal? I t’s not liek you don’t knwo they were dating, or that they got married. Has the public become so ignorant that we can’t figure out what is staring us in the face. Do we really need a confirmation of their marriage? When she gets pregnant will you need her to tell you that as well or will the growing belly be a hint?
MUNCHOSGIRL

BEYONCE CAN NEVER SING THE MJB OR KEISHA SONGS, HOW COULD SHE? BEYONCE HASN’T BEEN DOWN THE SAME ROADS AS THOSE TWO. WOULD SOME OF YOU JUST RATHER HER MAKE UP THINGS TO CATER TO THAT SIDE OF YOU WANTON? I SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE ON BLOGS SAY SHE HAS NO SUBSTANCE, MANY OF SONGS SHE HAS SUNG REALLY DOES. IS IT THAT SOME OARE JUST TIRED OF SEEING HER SO THEY THROW THESE COMMENTS OUT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT. NAIMA I AM GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP DESTINY HILD’S ALBUMS. I STILL LISTEN TO DESTINY FULFILLED. YES THERE IS PLENTY SUBSTANCE ON THAT CD, FROM IS SHE THE REASON TO LOVE YOU GET MUCH SUBSTANCE! AIRHEAD I FEEL SHE ISN’T EITHER, I WOULD CALL MOST OF HER INTERVIEWS GUARDED, SHE IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE SHE DOESN’T SAY THE WRONG THING. THE BEST INTERVIEW TO ME HAS BEEN THE ONE SHE HAD DONE WITH CATHY HUGHES, TV1, CAN BE SEEN ON YOUTUBE. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY THINK BEYONCE IS GOING TO GIVE AWAY ANYTHING MAJOR IN ESSENCE, THINK AGAIN. SHE ONLY SAYS WHAT SHE AND JAY HAVE IS REAL, THEY DECIDED TOGETHER THAT THEIR PRIVATE LIFE WILL BE JUST THAT. SURE SHE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT NOT WANTING AN ENGAGEMENT RING. ESSENCE IS TRYING TO SELL MAGAZINES, OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE YOU THINK IT’S A TELL ALL, THEY DID IT BEFORE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT, WE(EXCLUDING MYSELF) FEEL LIKE WE DESERVE TO KNOW EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES. THEY ARE ENTERTAINERS NOT OUR BEST FRIENDS. I HAVE NO NEED TO KNOW THE INS AND OUTS OF HER OR ANY OTHER CELEBRITY’S LIFE.

LIKE WHAT TOOSEXY, THE BREAK UP OF DC4? I LOVE BEYIONCE WORK AND WORK ETHIC. COME ON I AM BORDERLINE STAN, BEYONCE HAS ALWAYS LIVED A NICE LIFE. SURE HER PARENTS SEPERATED FOR A WHILE WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER. I AM TALKING ABOUT HER ADULT LIFE, WHAT IS SHE GOING TO TALK ABOUT? OH YEAH THE BRIEF MOMENT THAT HER NAD JAY SUPPOSEDLY PARTED WAYS? JAY WROTE ABOUT THAT, LOST ONES. WITH ALL HONESTY I REALLY BELIEVE THOSE TWO HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR LONGER THAN THE PUBLIC EYE THINKS TOO. BEYONCE HAS LEAD A SHELTERED LIFE!

i also wanna say that the lack of originality from this woman is uncanny. i’ve never seen anyone recycle other peoples ideas and concepts so much and STILL be embraced. Its sad really
shintrell

@ Munchosgirl

I understand what your saying but I feel that artists should grow with their fans. I think part of the problem is how fast because are making albums back to back. It doesn’t allow for that much artistic creativity or growth. I don’t want Beyonce to make up things about her life that don’t apply to her but I do want her to bring something fresh to the table. And for someone who wants to be an Icon and a Legend, that’s the least she should be able to do.
Amulet

@MZN , I wouldn’t.

@ MZN. I am a natural beauty. Most women are.. Bey has nothing I want other than her bank account…. Good lottery draw and I can have that too..

iscream

@ Munchgirl while I agree with what you are saying. I don’t see why now that her album is coming out does she all of a sudden feel the need to give you anything that couldn’t be given back when everybody cared. Its like okay that’s over now we either know or don’t care @ this point. If you want to keep it focused on the music then do that. Don’t flip flop when it works for you.

Just like I noticed all of a sudden these candid shots of her “chillin” are all of a sudden poppin up again. & its not hate bc I have supported Bey for years I’m just tired of the staged act. I’m a fan not an idiot.

Is she not promoting a CD? = Yes

do you promote behind closed doors? = No

Under a rock? = No

Hiding in a shoe? = No

So! Stop acting like she is doing something no one has ever done before.

She dont have to do too much promo cause every site is doing it for her…

Rihanna is still promoting a CD that should’ve died 7 months ago, she used her Dad how many times for promotion when she could’nt use J’s name no more, now Chris with BF thing. It’s all apart of the game. Y’all acting like Beyonce is killing some one. Bottom line her CD is going to be hot and I’m buying it and so are a lot of you talking stuff…so quit.

@muncho

what about the hurt of relationships, or self esteem issues that woman go thru in some part of their life, what about freedom from a controlled life, their is something, and if their isn’t then that’s sad that’s why she’s messed up then, I love that i went thru things it makes us who we are, maybe that’s why she’ shallow. what about her nice life, you think their wasn’t anything, going on like her daddy being physically abusive or a serial cheater, that’s what i have heard, money doesn’t mean you haven’t had problems. i refuse to believe that just by looking at these stars who are so messed up and just from knowing it.

Why Oh Why don’t you just buy it then.

WELL THE BOTTOMLINE WOULD BE OK, IF SHE WOULD HAVE RELEASED SOME HOT TRACKS FOR THAT HOT CD.

I’ve been saying that this gurl needs to take years off, not a year, but a year. That means, no pics of you from the paps, or on vacay…..she just needs to not being seen for awhile. I don’t know if its her ego or something….but she needs to fall back

With her, its always bey overload, and she makes good music….that i can listen to at the gym…really she does….lol But afterwhile, i can’t take the voice, and hten i can’t take her. She and bigga needs to go away, have babies, sell them to the press, and go away…..for awhile

“I SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE ON BLOGS SAY SHE HAS NO SUBSTANCE, MANY OF SONGS SHE HAS SUNG REALLY DOES”
“I HAVE NO NEED TO KNOW THE INS AND OUTS OF HER OR ANY OTHER CELEBRITY’S LIFE.”

I totally agree, some people really only know mainstream Bey – she is talented and has been. Whether people agree or disagree on her on this blog she will continue to shine. The woman recorded 70 songs for 1 album … did a video for each song on the last album, some people can never give credit where credit is due. What’s the big deal w. her not talking about the wedding, I for one can do without all the celebs business. I like to stick to the music, I don’t want to know all about Bey and how she is feeling/doing etc when it comes to her and Jay. It won’t impact my life so I don’t care about it? Why should any of you????

@ whyowhy

YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT, I LIKE YOU WILL BE PURCHAING IT, MIGHT EVEN PREORDER IT. SHE IS TALENTED AND I GIVE CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE, HER ACTING SO FAR IS ANOTHER THING, BUT AS FAR AS MUSIC, SHE HAS IT. I LOVE THE IF I WERE A BOY SONG, THE STOP SIGN SONG, BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE SONG, AND NEW SHOES IS MY ISSHHH. I can’t wait for the album!

@shintrell
I thikn that she has grown and is doing something different voally with her new material. If you haven’t heard every Bey song you wouldn’t notice. I have and I like the direction she is goin in.

And Sandra … how do you know they are tryign to make her appear more like common folk? You speculate on every post and your readers take your word for GOLD.

Bey looks fine in the photo …. do you examine photos liek this of Tiny, Monica , Rhi or any other of you other fav- NO? Why do you HATE everything about Bey … come on tell us where the hate came from.

@ iyona

I guess it’s a good thing we all have our own opinions. I think music is about what the individual feels when they hear it, and Bey has a lot of fans so obviously people feel something when they hear her music. I have no problem giving her credit for that. But personally, I don’t care for either song. I did realize that Like a Boy was a different type of song for her, but when it got to the chorus the yelling started. I can’t take Bee with the yelling, sorry. The other song, I just didn’t care for either. It reminded me of everything I didn’t like about BDay. Maybe out of the 70 songs she recorded, she will pick the best 10 for the album (cuz I hear only 10 made the cut).

@Amulet Says:

You act like a crazy record exec. That’s funny!!! But far from.

I like the direction of the song, I will say this when I first heard it I was like Ok! but I listened. You dont like them that’s ok, that’s you. I like them and yes I will be buying….

toosexy have you listened to any of her songs? I think you really have, the things you mentioned she has sung about. What is it, you want her to continuosly sing about them? What was ring the alarm about? Me, Myself and I is a prime example of a woman hurt by a cheating man, she realises she still have herself in the end to live for. That physically abusive thing, well that’s a new one on me. The cheating I know nothing about either. Or you want her to sing about the rumors of what you have heard? I never said she didn’t have problems, but at the same time some of you act like she was on drugs, was on the streets and things like that. she isn’t Mary J Blige, Keisha Cole or Alicia Keys. She doesn’t have a story to tell like them. I respect these ladies too, but these women aren’t Beyonce. Everyone brings something different to the table.

@muncho

but beyonce always claimed these songs were not about her right? opposed to people claiming their stuff, mary, keyshia cole, i want beyonce to know you ain’t got to be perfect and that’s why she has lost appeal whether you want to believe that or not. just like the ring the alarm ok , she said that was not about her, she said the other song( i forget the name) was about etta in dreamgirls, beyonce HAS ALWAYS SAID SHE HAD NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN TO HER, SHE HAS ALWAYS SAID THE OBVIOUS PERSON IS NOT THE PERSON. she always acts like it’s not her, now i like when a person can sing about stuff and then grow and help others not someone singing and then turn around and say oh but it wasnt’ me then where is the singing coming from? I know beyonce and other people must feel the same way and have heard the people. she trys now to give us a normal beyonce, and introducing herself on this album in her own words, more reflective and personal , so if she said it why can’t her fans admit that that was what was missing.the true beyonnce, who is beyonce? and if your not singing about something then what’s the use, music came from hearts and souls and pain and happiness true emotion and that’s why the music business is taking a beating now. but hey it’s all good. I don’t hate beyonce, or i’m not hating on her, i was really hoping her singles were going to be hot really. but it’s not to me, single ladies? but your not single and haven’t been in a long while. but i respect your opinion.

keyshia cole’s new song is soooo hawt. as sandra would say.

Whoever said they relate to Mary J and Keyshia Cole, all that is saying that you relate to hood, hard edged women. That’s what got Mary and Keyshia in the game.

I was in love with Mary…old “My life album Mary” but I don’t relate to her and I most certainly don’t identify with Keyshia.

It’s the same people writing a mile long post about how they hate Beyonce, we don’t like her, she’s wack…

OKAAAAYYYYYYYY WE KNOOOOWWWWWWW ALREADY! WE’VE HEARD ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY….REPEATEDLY! Everyday its the same negative stuff, man. I think it’s ridiculous to hate someone you’ve never met. That proves you have no life~

Get off your own sack and move the phuck on! And I don’t care who has what to say…I’m saying my piece just like everyone else has been forever and a day.

What?

By the way…I PHUCKING LOVE BEYONCE! I wish her and Kanye would do a collabo!

I was hollerin, huh? Ole people been bugging me all day…

Shut up toosexy. I know I was hype. (LMAO)

To answer your question…I think the “pop” audience connects with B, the residual Destiny’s child fans, and women/girls/females that like all the hoopla that surrounds Beyonce (weaves, eye lashes, make-up…blah blah blah) Not to mention…she’s TALENTED.

ALL OF MY FRIENDS LOVE THE HELL OUT OF SOME BEYONCE. What do we have in common? Quite frankly, we’re all girly girls. They like Rhianna…I’m on the fence. But, I think Rhi and B have tapped into that same audience.

I just don’t relate to what Mary used to talk about at all. And I still see Keyshia Cole as extremely ghetto trying to be something she’s not. She’s in the process of re-inventing herself and no one said Jack about that

TOOSEXY, I SEE YOU HAVE BEEN READING HER RECENT ARTICLES

HAS ALWAYS SAID SHE HAD NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN TO HER, SHE HAS ALWAYS SAID THE OBVIOUS PERSON IS NOT THE PERSON.

NO SHE HASN’T ALWAYS SAID THAT. SHE JUST RECENTLY SAID THAT. SHE SAID ALL OF HER SONGS AREN’T AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL. SHE SOME OF THE CONCEPTS COME FROM WOMEN SHE KNOW OR SOMETIMES SHE JUST WRITE ABOUT WHAT SHE THINKS PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR. TOOSEXY, THIS IS A WOMAN WHO RECENTLY GOT MARRIED. I AM QUITE SURE HER WHOLE FRAME OF MIND IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL.AND HON, ETTA JAMES WAS NOT IN DREAMGIRLS, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG MOVIE, SHE WAS DEENA JONES IN DREAMGIRLS. SHE NEVER SAID RING THE ALARM WAS ABOUT DEENA. SHE SAID SOME OF THE EMOTIONS SHE HAD CAME FROM PORTRAYING DEENA, SHE HAD TO LET THOSE EMOTIONS OUT, WHICH IS WHAT B’DAY BECAME.ANOTHER THING TOOSEXY, MARY DOES NOT WRITE ALL OF HER SONGS, AND NEITHER DOES KEISHA. SO WHOM ARE THEY SINGING ABOUT. HAVE YOU LISTENED TO SINGLE LADIES? SOME WOMEN CAN RELATE TO THE SONG BECAUSE SHE IS TELLING THE MAN IF HE LOVED HER SO MUCH HE WOULD HAVE LOCKED HER DOWN(RING, MARRIED HER). SHE WASN’T LOOKING FOR MATERIAL THINGS WHICH HE WAS TRYING TO GIVE, SHE ONLY WANTED HIM TO LOVE HER. NOW A NEW MAN IS AROUND AND THE OLD GUY WANTS TO TRIP ON HER.

DON’T TREAT ME TO THESE THINGS OF THE WORLD
I’M NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL
YOUR LOVE IS WHAT I PREFER
WHAT I DESERVE
IS A MAN
THAT MAKES ME
THEN TAKES ME

IF YOU DON’T, YOU’LL BE ALONE
AND LIKE A GHOST I’LL BE GONE

ok so i really don’t care for this woman , but i do like some of her songs and before i say anything bad about her music i do listen first . i try to give her a chance. if she puts out something worth praise , she gets all my respect. if not then she gets nothing. this goes for any other singers as well.

as for her wedding and relationship, i can totally understand her wanting to keep her wedding pictures and her relationship private. we don’t have the right to know everything about her , but i see nothing wrong with her just giving a simple yes or no on whether she’s married. i see nothing wrong with her having those happy bride moments where she walks around in her wedding ring with a big kool aid smile because she’s happy. not the fake i’m gonna give the world a part of me for my album promotion crap.

as for her music , i just want to hear some kind of growth. maybe when the album comes out i will find something that proves she really has grown, but right now these two songs just don’t do it for me.
mimi08

I’m repeating what i said over at the Usher post…

These celebrities lie, cheat, and will do anything to sell a cd…basically lying with a straight face to their fan. I can’t stand these type of celebrities, and we should collectively let them know we are aware of the bullsh(*, and refuse to support these celebrities, whether you like them or not. It’s just ridiculous how we reward these lying azz celebrities with new homes, new cars, new trucks, fame, grammies, expensive jewelry, bags, etc. for the big azz lies they tell. We have the power, and we can chose to not participate in their marketing ploys…stop falling for that shyt. I refuse to, and never will.

But anyways, i knew something was up with all of a sudden she stopped wearing the wigs, stopped running around with her glam team, all to get the dollars out of your pocket and once again sell you a lie. Everything she does and don’t do is to further her career. Fake, fake, fake….I don’t think anyone knows the true beyonce.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FEEDBACK FROM YOU. I HAVE READ A FEW OF YOUR POSTS, THEY ARE HONEST, I DON’T FEEL THE “HATER” VIBE FROM YOU. YOU JUST GIVE IT HOW YOU FEEL IT.

Love Cey Cey love the song If I were a boy. I get it,I can’t wait for the album. This is for entertainment why do we feel like these people are obligated to invite us into their personal lives. Seriously this is their job how many people where we work know what our lives are like away from work.

A lot of Beyonce’s songs have a lot of depth, whether she wrote them or not. Each and every song that she makes does not have to have a moral to it. That is why we have gospel music. Music can be fun people! Calm down! If she wrote about sad situations and sorry azz men, we would be talking about her being depressed. As someone said everyone is not ghetto and did not grow up with a hard life. I like Keisha Cole, can I relate to having a crack addicted mother and being adopted? No. I LOOOVVVEE MJB. Can I relate to being abused by my boyfriend? No. Is that what all of Keisha’s and MJB’s songs are about? No. So you cannot sum up a person by the songs they sing (or write) or how they tell us that they lived. We don’t know either of these women personally and should not judge them. Like Beyonce’s lil sis said:
Big up haters
If you don’t like it, I didn’t make it for you!!

Beyonce, just one of the folks?

What’s wrong with being one of the folks?
