The Post About Beyonce's Twins and Other Things Beyonce


This morning, I woke up to Beyonce's picture all over my timeline. There was Beyonce, Queen of the Universe, holding her babies while standing in front of a beautifully lit flower wreath looking like Mother Nature herself. I am here for it ya'll!!! After listening to Lemonade and 4:44 back to back for about a week, I was anticipating something hugecoming from the Carters and this was it! All of us on black twitter had a feeling that the twins had been born some time ago and that Beyonce was just witholding pictures from the public to be able to spend some time with her babies before the blogs completely lost it. And we have!! She named those babies Rumi and Sir Carter! She made sure to name her baby son Sir that way people had no choice, but to address him by Sir. I love it!

I am so happy for Beyonce, so I will be breaking down some things for people who don't understand the importance of this. When Beyonce announced her pregnancy, white women got in a tizzle over this and completely went off in their whiny nasally think pieces. Listen up here white women! What we are not going to do is speak anything but goodwill on Beyonce and her beautiful family. Beyonce has had to deal with a shifty marriage and work out all the kinks with that marriage behind closed doors. She has had many miscarriages and stillborns. Moreover, every other week people were coming out saying that Beyonce was pregnant, when she knew that she wasn't. Every single move she makes is scrutinized and criticized. People say she shouldn't dance around on stage because she's older and she's a mother. She shouldn't sing about having sex with her husband and that her feminism isn't real feminism because she focuses a lot on femininity in her music and that she doesn't give back to her community.

First of all, white women have no place to tell Beyonce anything. She is literally one of the best singers and performers of our time. Everything you are going to write about her announcements is just you complaining because it makes you feel some type of way because Beyonce is happy and you're upset that a Starbucks barista spelled your name Maggy instead of Maggie. Ya'll are really upset because when Beyonce posts a picture on her personal Instagram and we all get very excited. We are happy for Beyonce because we recognize how amazing she is and how hard she works everyday to have the level of success that she has. We recognize this, but you and some black women, I ain't forgot about ya'll "pick me's", get so upset because we are happy for Bey. Like let us have our happiness! Black women do not live happy and lavish lives to satisfy you. If you don't like Beyonce's instagram announcements,well then tough because no one care if you're hurt Becky. How aboutyou deal with whatever low self-esteem is making you take out yourwhite tears on Beyonce and her beautiful babies. Get over yourself.If you really think your negative opinion on Beyonce's growing family matters, then honey you are seriously delusional.

Onto Beyonce giving back, she and Jay Z has donated money plenty of times to people in theUS and across the world. We all know that Beyonce and Jay- Z are extremely private about their own personal lives. So that means they have found time to give back to the community without making a huge announcement about it. Because honestly, if make a huge deal of giving back to your community, then you're really doing it for publicity and for people to think that you are a good person. Jay Zwired money to bail out the Baltimore protesters in 2015 after filmaker Dream Hampton tweeted out to him in now deleted tweets. Apparently Jay Z wired tens of thousands of dollars. Beyonce has her BeyGood foundation that does very important charity work in Nepalafter the 7.2 magnitude earthquake and in Haiti to help disadvataged children.

Now, Beyonce's feminism is valid. Just because her music is usually about women's sexuality and femininity doesn't make it invalid. Beyonce sings about having sex with her husband and she wears what she wants on stage because she is her own person! She will wear whatever she wants after any pregnancy and she will be killing it on stage! Moreover, she created Lemonade which is an award winnning piece of black feminist art that is extremely important to so many black women still to this day. Femnism comes in all kinds of packages, but as long as it focuses on being equitable to all people despite their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, physical and mental ability, or socioeconomic background. Moreover, BeyGood has focused on pushing forward an agenda to pursue worldwide gender equality.


So if ya'll got any hate for Beyonce, don't bring that negative energy over here. No ma'am

The Post About Jay's 4:44

Now I just got Tidal, so I missed listening to Shawn Carter's 13th studio album. But I do have Twitter, so it's like I already read it. Here are some thoughts about this album based off of my favorites tweets. Kind of like a Buzzfeed article. Without the publicity and clicks and money, but let's move on.

  • "No such think as an ugly billionaire, I'm cute."
  • "Niggas be skipping leg day just to run they mouth"
  • Mr. Shawn Carter admitted to cheating on Beyonce on the same track that Beyonce was featured on. Solange beated him in an elevator and then we didn't listen. Beyonce sang about it on her own album. Not even on Lemonade. Apparently, she has been singing about his infidelity since 2006! He said that he needed to be a better role model for Blue and that he wouldn't know what to do if his children found out what he had done. He also goes into how his emotionless caused Beyonce to have her miscarriges and that he still carries that guilt with him. Moreover, I find it absolutely ridiculous how it takes men so long to learn to respect women and treat them better. Jay Z may be a billionaire, but he is almost 50 and it took him this long to realize that maybe he should be sleeping around behind his wife's back!
  • He rapped a line talking about Jewish people owning more businesses than black people. Many people saw this line as anti-semitic since it was the same line used to cause a mass genocide against Jewish people. I understand that he means for black people to invest in black businesses, however we can do this without saying offensive things against other minorities. 
  • He opens up about being raised by a single lesbian mother and how she couldn't be who she was in the times they were living in.
  • Moreover, Jay Z put Beyonce through hell and high water. There a plenty of photos online of Beyonce looking at Jay while he is on her phone, only we didn't know the truth behind these photos. And I honestly found it disgusting and astonishing how selfish and disgusting men can be that they will literally destroy any good thing they have. Beyonce is the greatest artist of our lifetime and Blue Ivy will be right behind her mother. The fact that he did something that would jepordize his marriage and connection with Blue shows how men can still be trash even when they have literally the most beautiful woman in their bed next to them.
  • Please enjoy the complete list of Jay's newest album with meanings behind the songs.
