I woke up to a flood of email messages this morning from blog readers and show listeners wondering what my thoughts and opinions were regarding Beyoncé’s new music “Lemonade”.
And based upon what I’m being schooled on is, Beyonce pouring out her frustration and bitterness in a collection of songs laced with lyrics of infidelity and deceit.
The gist of all the buzz is, Beyoncé’s husband of six years, rap mogul Jay Z cheated on her when she makes reference to Jay Z‘s mistress “Becky” in her song “Sorry,” which ends with the line, “he better call Becky with the good hair.” Also referencing his mistress being a white woman.
The woman identified as Jay’s mistress is a fashion designer by the name of Rachel Roy. Roy is believed to be the catalyst behind Solange‘s (Beyoncé’s sister), infamous elevator assault on Jay Z in 2014. Surveillance video inside the elevator captured Solange wildly punching and kicking Jay Z as Beyonce stood by and watched with detached amusement.
My thoughts are #1, I can’t believe ‘good hair’ amongst women is still being referenced in 2016, along with the notion that women have to compete with white women for a man, their man or any man for that fact.
#2, That women are so damn desperate for a man, that they would actually think or accept it being ok for him to be with you and a side chick? What the fuck is wrong with women today? If he can’t commit to you, kick his disloyal ass to the curb. Point, blank period!!
A male associate of mine said to me this morning, “Beyoncé is a strong woman to stay with Jay Z” Really? This has absolutely nothing to do with her strength but the message she’s sending to young woman regarding their self-worth. If you know he’s cheating and got a side chick, it’s not love it’s stupidity.
There you have it, my 2 cents and opinion on the matter..

SMDH…….Jay Z likes white and ethnic white and Beyoncé is the only black woman he would have married because she’s Beyoncé. Jay used to sleep with one of Puffy’s dancers a white Spanish chic with that Rachel Roy type look but whiter.

I blame him. A wealthy famous man with a wealthy famous wife should not be sloppy or have a messy mistress all up in the public. His sloppyness is probably what pissed Bey off, not just the affair.

The women of yesterday actually tolerated infidelity much more than today’s women who hype each other up over this fake, “Girl you don’t need a man” bullshit!!! when they are actually rotating partners like tires.
Working through an affair is not the same thing as staying in a bad abusive marriage with a promiscuous spouse. If you have an honest relationship with your partner you would know if he/she cheated and you would make steps to work through it.
The end result could be moving on, it could be staying. I just don’t see that as desperation. But please Check your stats on the women of yesterday and those of today. Back in the day women did not leave their husband for ANYTHING. You wouldn’t find out until the man died that he had all kinds of affairs and kids. Social media has put the sheets on display, but them sheets been dirty.

Back in the day the women who stayed didn’t have the independence that a lot of women have today. The women who stayed were home makers with no income some of them. Beyoncé is rich and don’t have to tolerate the infidelity of any man. she can get her a nanny and chuck deuces to Jay Z and be OUT. This is about her ego and nothing else.

I think “single” vs “married” women is tired like the natural hair debate. We are all women We should support each other. Some men cheat whether you are married to them or not. How you decide to deal with your relationship doesn’t make you desperate, weak, or in a “fucked’ up situation”. It’s makes you human. You work through it and then YOU decide, whether to stay or go.

Yeah Civil you right. she called the surrogate “talk” stupid and ridiculous and yet SHE can’t let it go. She got blasted for the “fuzzy” pics so now she makes this attempt? Why?? She obviously cares because she creates this fake perfection of her life but screwed up the pregnancy with the Aussie belly flop and continues damage control. Beyoncé would have posed bare bellied on every single magazine cover in the world if she was actually pregnant. Guaranteed, Beyonce will never have another child because she knows she could never get away with another fake pregnancy. Goes to show how perfectly orchestrated her image is. I don’t get why people fall for her nonsense. She preys on her brainwashed fans

The “artistry”, in my opinion, is in convincing people that a woman who NEVER speaks to her private life is now suddenly writing an entire album about it and having them talk about her disfunctional relationship to others who are interested, or not – and marketing FOR her. As IF any song an artist sings is very personal… If so, did Adele REALLY get to the other side and had cell service? Was the rain really purple over there, and toxic, and Prince FINALLY succumbed to complications from it? Did Xscape EVER get any understanding? Did Jay Z go to the RIGHT, instead, and that’s why he’s still here for this new track? Did Ike and Tina ever EVER do anything, Nice… And Easy?
Right before every single album this broad is either pregnant, getting a divorce, or her album is about her marriage… And y’all keep falling for it. Just like the music if it’s good (haven’t heard it yet), but stop trying to make Beyonce deeper than she is.
