Throwback Monday

Since tonight is the Met Gala, let's reminisce back to 2014 during the infamous "elevator incident" between Beyonce, Solange and Jay-Z. From that we were gifted with "Lemonade", "4:44", "Everything Is Love".
Thank you, Solange.
On that note, let's honor "Lemonade" with my fave single off the album:
Because I still haven't forgiven, Hov.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Going on Tour Together

Instagram: @beyonce

Wait what?
*clutches pearls*
While I'm trying to make a living and do my day job, I was inundated with texts, Instagram DMs and articles alluding to Beyonce and Jay-Z going on tour together.
Yes, it's being dubbed On the Run 2!
So, the internet is saying Beyonce's Facebook peeps goofed up and accidentally put out an announcement for OTR2, but then promptly took it down.
Now, we know the Carters must have something in the works as Bey is about to do Coachella, they just dropped Top Off with Future and Khaled. 
But another OTR? I'd be down.

Now excuse me while I pick up another job....or 3 to get these coins together.
SMDH, regardless of this mistake the Carters are basically telling us to get in formation.

Jay-Z's Sit Down with the NY Times and Admits Cheating on Beyonce

Instagram: @beyonce

                                             We first had inklings of this during the infamous elevator fight. Then Queen Bey blessed us with Lemonade, where we were constantly trying find who Becky with the good hair was and how we could take care of her for Bey.
Then we were given Rumi and Sir Carter.
Then HOV gave us 4:44 because all of us hated him.
Now, Jay-Z is sitting down with the New York Times' Dean Baquet.
In the interview Jay discusses race, politics, his feud with Kanye, his mother being a lesbian and....admitting to cheating on Beyonce.
He also revealed that Lemonade and 4:44 were supposed to be a joint album. Boy bye.

Rob Kardashian Puts Blac Chyna on Blast: NSFW

Instagram: @robkardashian
Rob says he's going to make his own Lemonade album following his fallout with Chyna

Early Wednesday morning, everyone was glued to Instagram to, once again, see Rob Kardashian put his baby-mama, Blac Chyna on blast.
This time, it took a very dramatic turn.
Kardashian posted naked pictures of Chyna he obtained either from her or from other sources claiming she had been cheating on him with multiple guys. Kardashian says Chyna slept with two other guys within days of sleeping with him in the bed their daughter Dream sleeps.
Kardashian claims that Chyna's post-baby body isn't from flat tummy teas or waist training, it's from surgery that he paid for as well as thousands of dollars in jewelry he just purchased for her.

Rob Kardashian spilling the tea this AM. #Repost @robkardashian (@get_repost) ・・・ Everyone wonders how Chyna lost all that weight after the baby and she lies to everyone but no I'm such a great Husband that on our anniversary I paid 100K to do this surgery to get all everything fixed as much as they could. And then guess what she did after she was all healed when I was by her side the entire time. She left me and my baby which she had out of spite to get back at her other baby daddy. I can't believe u would disrespect me like this

With my daughter and her son in the house in my bed haha and my paid house. Damn this woman is crazy and thank God i fucked her without a condom but damn I'm scared but I promise imma get checked and do a full panel this week ! I'm praying imma be clean but shit Chyna. So now the total is 8 dudes in less than a month come on man. This is wild. Omg I'm actually laughing

A post shared by Christine KAURdashian (@christinekaurdashian) on Jul 5, 2017 at 9:41am PDT

To prove his argument, he posted a video of Chyna on her way into the operating room and then posted post-op photos, where Chyna is naked.
He also claims Chyna has a drug and alcohol problem and will not be seeing their daughter.
During Kardashian's rant, Chyna took to Snapchat claiming Rob beat her and threatened.

When Instagram took down Kardashian's pictures and then eventually shut down his account, Rob took to Twitter:

 

Then there's a Craigslist ad moving around the interwebs allegedly from Kardashian and he's trying to sell the bed Chyna committed her sins on.

While all of us were eating our popcorn watching this train wreck, celebrities weighed in with their opinion on the matter too.
Uncle Snoop and 50 Cent posted responses on Instagram.

Be cool about this shit man. keep it Playa, playa. chill take a little time for ya self, but damn these hoe's be looking 👀good right! LOL

T.I. tried to help Rob out by telling him to chill out, only to be called out himself.

Now TI?! 🤦🏽‍♀️#Repost @robkardashian (@get_repost) ・・・ Since TI wanna chime in on business that don't concern him let's talk about the threesome you had with Chyna and your baby mama Tiny. Don't speak on my daughter when u having threesomes with young Chy and Tiny

A post shared by Christine KAURdashian (@christinekaurdashian) on Jul 5, 2017 at 12:08pm PDT

This isn't the first time Kardashian went on social media to blast Chyna. Late last year he posted a video claiming Chyna took baby Dream with her and left him around the holidays. Then years before, he tweeted that his ex-Rita Ora cheated on him with 20 guys when they were together.
Many reports are saying Kardashian could be in some serious legal trouble seeing as he posted the nude photos of Chyna violate California's revenge porn law.
Regardless, the real issue at hand is how dysfunctional and toxic Rob and Chyna's relationship is. All of us saw that having a child with Chyna, while her baby-daddy Tyga was dating Kardashian's little sis Kylie wasn't the smartest move. We've watched this relationship disintegrate for over a year and we know all of this because Kardashian is constantly posting about it.
Rob cries wolf on Instagram, then days later we're told he's doing fine...just going through some stuff.
We all know Chyna has always been Chyna, but Rob needs to seriously grow up. Posting nudes your ex sent you is the worst thing you can do..it's f&#kboy behavior.
Yes, Chyna shouldn't have cheated, but Rob isn't looking like a Saint right now either.

Jay-Z's 4:44

Twitter: @_dutch12

I've seen the memes, the gifs, the tweets and instagrams.
I've read the think pieces, the Stan pieces and the Beyhive clapbacks.
I've finally had the time to listen to Jay-Z's highly anticipated 4:44 album.
There's plenty of things I've had to process one of them accepting HOV brought back the hyphen to his name.
Okay, so this is Jay's response to Lemonade, my favorite Beyonce album. During the Lemonade era I questioned if Beyonce really was singing about her own marriage.
She and Jay have been secretive about their relationship since the beginning, so I was skeptical that they'd let us in so much. But, then the tabloid stories surfaced and made me think...but still didn't believe this was true.
I went to the On the Run tour post- elevator-gate and saw that the Carters seemed distant. Still, I thought it wasn't real life because- again- they don't tell us much about their lives. When B sang Resentment and hit the part where she sang been riding with you for 12 years  I still thought she wouldn't throw her man under the bus like this while they're on tour!

Well, here we are.....3 years and a set of twin babies later and we have 4:44 where HOV tells us hey, Beyhive...I cheated on your queen and...my bad.
No wonder Solange beat his a$$!
He mentions in Kill Jay-Z, "You egged Solange on, knowin' all along, all you had to say you was wrong."
The album definitely shows Jay's growth lyrically. He's singing about his real-life now. How he's changed and matured, but I'm still pissed.
Look, I'm obvi not in the Carters relationship (even though I'd die to be!) but it's interesting to hear how bad Jay treated Bey, yet she stood by him.
Did he cheat on her while they were married? When they were dating? Was it both? Was she pregnant? WHY IS SHE STILL WITH HIM!?
He mentions miscarriages, in the plural sense which makes me wonder if Bey had more than one. We knew the couple suffered the loss back in 2012 after Blue was born and Jay released Glory.

In Family Feud, Bey is actually singing on the track. Reports state Mrs. Carter okayed all of the tracks before the album was released.
I don't know what kind of therapy these two sought but it looks like it's pretty successful. But think about it, this couple has taken their painful moments and have turned it into a career game-changer for themselves....and have cashed in on the process. Turning lemons into lemonade.

Jay doesn't only apologize to Beyonce profusely, but also touches on the Kanye feud in Kill Jay-Z
"But you ain't a Saint, this ain't KumbaYe, but you got hurt because you did cool by Ye / You gave him 20 million without blinking, he gave you 20 minutes on stage, (expletive) was he thinking / '(Expletive) wrong with everybody?' is what you saying, but if everybody's crazy, you're the one that's insane."

Another element of the album that surprised me as others was Jay revealing his mother is a lesbian. In Smile he raps “Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian/Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian. Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate/Society shame and the pain was too much to take."

All in all, it's apparent Jay is learning from his mistakes and is growing and credits much to that to being a dad. The music fan in me likes the growth, but I'm a female and a die-hard Beyonce fan. I feel his "apology" to Beyonce and all of doesn't seem enough for me.
You seriously have the baddest chick in the game and you played her?
To quote Baddie Bey & Prince "you play me, you play yourself"

Nicki Minaj Pays for College for Fans Via Social Media

Instagram: @nickiminaj 

It all started around Saturday at midnight when Nicki was promoting her contest to bring a fan to the Billboard Music Awards, when one fan boldly asked for Minaj to just pay her tuition instead.
From that, Nicki was playing Oprah with you get tuition paid! You get your textbooks paid for!

She even offered to pay for an Audio Visual student's camera in Colombia!

Beyonce Posts Pregnancy Photoshoot on her Website Following News that She's Having Twins

 Just when we were all reeling from the exciting news of the upcoming birth of not one (Beyonce), but TWO Beyonces (Beytwice)....the queen posted a pregnancy photo shoot on her website that basically $h!ts on everyone else.
But what did we expect?
On the site, Bey claims she has three hearts and shows old photos chronicling her relationship with Jay, then moves on to when big sissy Blue was born and then their journey together up until present day.

Beyonce's 3 hearts explained:

She then displays an array of photos that almost look like they're from the Hold Up video with her swimming with her swollen belly.
So, if she's swimming while pregnant, she can perform at Coachella right?

Anyway, these photos have given me the ultimate life and have definitely brightened up my winter as well as the rest of the world.

Beyonce Expecting Twins!

Instagram: @Beyonce

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW!
Beyonce and Jay Z have blessed us with the news that the Queen isn't pregnant with baby #2 or baby #3, BUT BOTH BABY #2 & #3!
The Carters are expecting twins!
The BeyHive was alerted of this news after our Queen Mother posted this ethereal photo on the 'gram looking like a pregnant Goddess chilling among the flowers showing her baby bump. She included a caption with the photo saying:

We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters

This gives 5 year-old big sis, Blue Ivy, heavy big sister responsibilities now that she has TWO young siblings to look out for.
This may be premature to say or state, but with her being pregnant with twins, I pondered the thought if she was undergoing fertility treatments #noneofmybusinesstho.
Bey stays keeping us on our toes, it was just a year ago she got us in Formation right before Super Bowl 50 and led us on the greatest musical journey of the year with Lemonade and the Formation World Tour.
This is great news for the family because all of the world wants more Yonce offspring, however, some people have expressed concern that we'll have to wait a little while for more music to be released. Also, the Lemonade singer is due to headline the Coachella music festival in April.
Will she keep that commitment?
I highly doubt she'll back out considering she's a true pro, but lately I can't predict anything anymore.
Congrats Beyonce!!
I'm so SO happy for you! 

Shopaholism: Beyonce Debuts News Holiday Merch on her Website

Fine, Queen Bey...just TAKE all my money!
I've been lusting for holiday Beyonce swag since Beyonce wore the ugly Christmas sweater in the 7/11 video back in 2014.
Since that has disappeared from the internet, I've been dying to show my holiday spirit while paying homage to the Queen.
Welp, my prayers have been answered.
On Cyber Monday on Bey's website she released some holiday-Lemonade-inspired clothing, accessories and wrapping paper for her Beyhive.

I want all of these things!!!!

What do you like?

Beyonce Performs at the 50th Country Music Awards Alongside the Dixie Chicks

beyonce.com

...and I thought the Dixie Chicks returning was a big deal!

Oh, country music you're luring me in.

Usually I skip through Daddy Lessons on Lemonade, but now we're all country fans after Queen Bey and the Dixie Chicks represented the Lone Star State and performed together.

It.was.epic.

Didn't Bey slay that dress tho!?!

Not only was it great that they sang the hit off of Bey's surprise album, they also weaved in Long Time Gone, the group's 2002 hit.

A few months back when Lemonade was fresh, the Dixie Chicks performed the song at a performance and it went viral.
 The band hails from Texas as well as Beyonce so they have that bond and of course, they're members of the Beyhive.

Ok! I can finally talk about one of the greatest weeks of my life! Thank you @Beyonce ! You slay. All day! pic.twitter.com/XJCOrdweih

Beyonce Slays the VMAs

beyonce.com

A photo posted by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on Aug 28, 2016 at 5:39pm PDT

She came.
She slayed.
She conquered.
and now I'm dead.
Not only did Beyonce kill the VMAs with her Lemonade medley, but she killed the red carpet with her 4 1/2 year old date, Blue Ivy.
Mom and daughter rocked the NYC red carpet wearing just the most glamorous gowns. Blue Blue's princess dress was a cool $11,000.
But I mean, her parents can afford it, right?
Bey also was surrounded by her squad of ladies that were featured in Lemonade as well as Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown's mother.

Vogue.com

After performing, Bey snatched Moonmen for Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, Breakthrough Long Form Video, Best Choreography, Best Cinematography and Best Editing. 
She now has more Moonmen, the most for a female performer.....surpassing Madonna who was the reigning Moonman Queen with 20.

Beyonce's Lemonade is now on iTunes

Don't have Tidal? No problem!
Beyonce's latest album Lemonade is now on iTunes.

Did you watch on Saturday?
I did of course, and on Sunday.
Having a full day on Saturday I really didn't enjoy the special presentation. I found it boring, but LOVED the 6 inch featuring the Weeknd, Sorry and Freedom. 

When I watched it a second time with more rest and more time, I fell in love with the album.
I loved the concept, the depth of the lyrics and how Beyonce has grown as an artist.
Prior to the 4 album I was a mediocre Bey fan. Her lyrcis were the same line over and over again and the songs were played out on the radio.
When 4 came out I heard more lyrical diversity, catchier songs and a more bad ass attitude.
Then when her self-titled album dropped in 2013....I became a STAN!

Now with Lemonade, even though it took me 2 tries, I understand the concept, I get it...she's a grown woman doing her own thing.

Do I think Jay cheated on her? I mean, this album alludes to it. Then there was elevator-gate back in 2014. Then there are the rumors over whether or not Becky is Rachel Roy. Roy is Dame Dash's ex-wife, Dame was once Jay's Roc-a-Fella partner back in the day.
At the end of the day, it's Jay and Bey and we'll never know the real story unless they tell us.

Now excuse me while I get back into formation and learn these lyrics prior to her show in May.

Beyonce and HBO Debut New Trailer for "Lemonade"

                 
                              I don't know what exactly this is, but I'm ready for it!
Since Friday, Beyonce has been hinting at her latest project Lemonade premiering on HBO on April 23rd.
Is it a film? A new album? A documentary?
From the looks of it, she's basically topping the release of Beyonce by not having it be a surprise visual album, but a full-on action film.
The project debuts the day before the Formation tour kicks-off.
This is being called a world premiere event.
I can't take this anymore.
I aged 10 years last week trying to cop some Ivy Park gear last week.....I just need some relaxation.
