Beyoncé couldn’t give two flying popcorns about what the trolls are chattering about her Renaissance red carpet extravaganza. In the freshest batch of Instagram snaps she dropped on Thursday, Queen Bey was too busy being the captain of the S.S. Loveboat alongside her main squeeze, JAY-Z, to pay any mind to the drama. Picture this: in the seventh photo, strategically placed for your visual pleasure, Beyoncé rocked her blinding silver dress and platinum hair while sitting front and center in the theater, shooting heart-eyed glances at her man. Popcorn buckets? Oh, they had it all – it was a snack fiesta! She even threw a black stole over her shoulders, and her snacks were as on-brand as a superhero’s costume at Comic-Con.
Now, hold your laughter for the eighth slide, where the power couple threw up peace signs and sported ear-to-ear grins in what seemed like a hotel hallway. The “Break My Soul” singer couldn’t have looked more thrilled about the star-studded shindig, and a date night with Mr. Carter? That’s like winning the relationship jackpot.
With a whopping 318 million followers on the platform, Queen Bey’s hive buzzed into the comments like bees to honey. One fan, clearly in a Game of Thrones mood, quirkily exclaimed, “Why did I immediately think Daenerys Targaryen with the hair!!! I mean Beyonce Giselle of House Knowles-Carter, First of her name, Queen of the Music, Queen of Houston, Breaker of records and Mutha of the BeyHive!” Another enthusiastic supporter chimed in, “It’s time Mutha! Congrats congrats congrats!” Meanwhile, a third one couldn’t wait for the movie premiere, exclaiming, “Can’t wait to see the movie in a couple of hours!”
But, as with any online spectacle, there were also party poopers in the comments – not that Beyoncé had a single care in the world. One person who did notice was none other than Mama Knowles herself, Tina, who recently had enough of the negativity accusing Beyoncé of “lightening” her skin.
In an impassioned post, Tina clapped back at the haters, saying, “Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white.” She continued, “How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy.” Talk about a momma bear roaring in defense of her cub – you go, Tina! 🦁🎉
