The direct tweet to Beyonce doesn’t seem to be there anymore, but below you can check out Chaka Khan’s response to accusations that she was dissing King Bey in a recent interview:
With my girl @Ledisi at the SHADE FREE @essencemag Black Women in Hollywood event. Did you catch that, tabloids?!?
@Beyonce Sorry you had to be the target of a slow news day. You know I have nothing but LOVE for you! Keep handling your business!!
Beyonce and JAY Z’s performance of ‘Drunk In Love’ (which hilarious viewers deemed overtly sexual and pornographic) wasn’t the only problem; according to the above letters sent to the FCC regarding the GRAMMYS, Katy Perry was summoning Satan and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were in the wrong for shoving the gay agenda down their throats. These are only about half of the complaints received….nonetheless, I doubt FCC is going to do anything (and that’s fine with me).
You can check out a recap of the above performances (and more) here.
Beyonce began the first of six shows in London at the O2 Arena, and during her performance of ‘Drunk In Love’, she brought out husband JAY Z to rock his part for the (probably) sold-out crowd.
While on the red carpet Chaka Khan was complimented on her ‘flawless’ look as the interviewer Mike Melendy made a Beyonce “flawless ” reference. Under Her breath, she can be clearly seen saying “that Bitch!” – Hollywood Today
Beyoncé releases another visual off her new self titled album, premiering it on her VEVO channel. If you didn’t buy her album and missed this video, check it out above.
Beyonce launched the next leg of her Mrs. Carter World Tour in Glasgow, marking the first tour stop since she release her self-titled album to the masses. With a new set and routine, King Bey can be seen performing ‘Flawless’ above, like from SSE Hydro.
From VIBE:
Beyonce is not only having the greatest year of her career; she’s also the “Highest Paid Black Musician of All Time.”
According to MTV, “Beyonce is expected to make well over 200 million dollars by the time the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour wraps up this year (2014). The tour, which was already the highest grossing concert by a female artist in 2013, is set to become the most successful of her entire career and make her the highest paid black musician of all time!”
Beyoncé resumes the (reverse?) cowgirl position in the above trailer. You can check out the full remix with Kanye West here until the video premieres.
Just in case the above clip gets shut down (and it probably will), you can check out the amended Instagram clip below.
Spotted on Digital Spy:
Beyoncé has teamed up with The Prince’s Trust to launch a new charity campaign.
The #BeyGood campaign will tie in with the UK dates of the star’s ‘Mrs Carter World Tour‘ and aims to raise funds for the youth charity.
Concert-goers who support the cause, which aims to help disadvantaged young people across the UK, will be given a #BeyGood sticker and the chance to have their seat upgraded to an exclusive VIP area.
Fans can earn a sticker by making a £3 donation to The Prince’s Trust by text or online, purchasing a #BeyGood t-shirt, or bringing used items of clothing to a donation site at the venues.
Beyoncé said: “As a young child I was blessed to have the support of my family who encouraged me to reach for my goals. So many young people don’t have this.
“I am honored to partner the #BeyGood campaign with The Prince’s Trust to help young people beat the odds and create better lives for themselves.”
Chief Executive of The Prince’s Trust Martina Milburn added: “We are very proud that Beyoncé has partnered with The Prince’s Trust through her #BeyGood campaign.
“As a longstanding ambassador of our charity, Beyoncé understands that, every day in the UK, young people are facing not only unemployment but also the devastating effects of homelessness, addiction, poverty, bullying and poor mental health.
“All of these hardships can leave them feeling that life isn’t worth living. It is up to us to help them get their lives back on track and the funds raised through the #BeyGood campaign will help us to do that.”
In addition to Kanye West jumping on Beyonce’s huge track, the song’s producer Detail decided to remix ‘Drunk In Love’ himself, making the song bigger and more cinematic. You can check it out below (he speaks on what he did above).
Kanye jumps on “Drunk In Love” and raps about sex for a minute and a half (which is essentially all this song — and most of Beyonce’s new album — is about).
Beyonce shares some pictures of her Husband Jay Z & her daughter Blue Ivy from their recent trip to Dominican Republic. Check out the pictures in the gallery above.
Last night, Russell Wilson attended the Brooklyn Nets game with Beyonce & Jay Z after winning the Super Bowl, and some fans thought the Seattle Seahawks quarterback was flirting with Mrs. Carter. Check out the tweets in the gallery.
A photo hit the net over the weekend of Beyonce getting a lap dance from a Taz dancer…turns out, the pic was photoshopped. Check out what her fans had to say in the gallery above.
Above and below, you can check out pics and video footage of JAY Z and Beyoncé performing at DirecTV’s Super Bowl Saturday Night, which went down at Hudson River Park Pier 40.

Courtesy of Beyoncé’s Tumblr, we get to see some of the hard work it took to create the performance that opened up this year’s GRAMMY Awards ceremony. No JAY Z (who performed with Beyoncé), but sister Solange can be seen supporting Mrs. Carter. Check out the pics above.
This is about as random as it gets folks….the “performance” of Beyoncé’s ‘Drunk In Love’ starts about 4 & a half minutes in.
Spotted on DJ Enuff’s blog:
Apparently last week, Jennifer Hudson expressed that folks talk too much about sex in their music nowadays. Many including Beyoncé’s stans and Wendy Williams took the comment as a shot against Beyoncé. Here is what she said below:
Singing about the same old things in music is so overrated. Sex, drinkin’, the club. Okay, especially sex. Like, we [are] grownups, we ain’t got over that, like, really? Ain’t you too old for that kind of thing? Can you talk about something else? I get annoyed with those things.
Immediately the Beyhives assumed that it was about Bey and to make matters worse Wendy Williams got the pot brewing when she brought up the comment during her Hot Topics segment by saying:
“She was talking about Beyoncé.”
Wendy even tweeted:
Apollo was arrested for bank fraud & JHud may be throwing shade to Beyonce. Wendy has the details today in #HotTopics
Moments later Jennifer responded to the assumptions on Twitter, letting the world know that she did mention any names.
if u took my general comment and YOU singled out someone to apply it it to , then that would mean that’s how u feel. Not me.
She merked this in a pretty creative way.
Angel Haze covers Beyoncé’s Drunk in Love for Trevor Nelson.
Beyonce discusses how she fell in love with the song “Drunk In Love” when she first heard it and how much freestyle fun it was to produce, followed by a discussion of how insane and chaotic it was doing the video shoot for “XO” on Coney Island.
Our friends across the pond called Beyonce a whore after her performance on Sunday night at the Grammys with her husband Jay Z. They performed her hit single “Drunk In Love”.
Metro reports:
Horrified viewer Mandy Flores wrote on Facebook: ‘Aren’t u a mother now!!? Thought u had class, how trashy and I couldn’t even let my 8 year old watch. U have never done anything like that! So disappointed.’
Others quickly reached for the remote control, with JJ Boogie tweeting: ‘Opening Grammy song performance inappropriate for young children. Thank you Beyonce. #ChannelChange.’
Another horrified woman said the 32-year-old mum looked like a ‘wh*re on stage’ at the Staples Center in LA.

UPDATE: Pharrell speaks more on the whole hat thing during a post-GRAMMY interview.
****************************************
In the midst of it all, Pharrell’s hat definitely endured a roast session on Twitter and Instagram…we added some of those jokes here. The winner of it all was Arby’s, who unexpected fired a pretty damn good shot when they referred to their own logo. Check out responses by Pepsi, Hyundai and more (Pharrell also responds).
