For many, Beyonce has already reached the Pop pinnacle. Indeed, given the dizzying heights her career enjoys, it’s arguable that she sits with an elite few in musical nirvana.
However, for Queen Bey it’s clearly all about elevation.
And if a new report proves true, she’s traded-in her long-time management for fresh brass.
Details below…
PageSix reports that the megastar quietly parted ways with her longtime business manager Lee Anne Callahan-Longo and hired a new team to steer her career and land her more lucrative deals.
Per the report:
Beyoncé is now working with Steve Pamon, who was JPMorgan Chase’s head of sports and entertainment marketing and masterminded the bank’s sponsorship of Queen Bey and Jay Z’s 2014 On the Run tour.
A source tells us, “Beyoncé basically cleaned house, got rid of her whole team, which included her cousin, and hired a new team. She wants to surround herself with business people who could take her career to an even higher level.” The insider added, “She has one album left to deliver before her deal is up with Columbia, plus she wants to make smarter decisions where it comes to touring, sponsorships and acting roles.”
Beyoncé brought Pamon over from JPMorgan Chase to her company, Parkwood Entertainment — which encompasses artist management, music production, tours, motion pictures, TV specials and apparel (as well as every facet of Beyoncé’s career ) — late last year. Former Universal Republic and Island Def Jam exec Peter Thea has also joined her team, along with Dan Ghosh-Roy, who heads up her digital operation.
The 34-year-old’s longtime publicist offered the following:
“Last year, Parkwood Entertainment created new departments and recruited new executives from the tech, business and entertainment sectors who joined the team to help grow Parkwood and its interests . . . Some senior staffers were given the opportunity to reposition and stay on. Some members . . . awakened [to] new interests and decided to follow personal routes.
“Lee Anne Callahan-Longo has worked with Beyoncé for the last 10 years. Their friendship supersedes business, and while she is no longer an employee of Parkwood, she will remain an imperative part of Beyoncé’s life.”
Wow.
In many ways this is perhaps the most marked change the star has made professionally since parting ways with her father Mathew Knowles back in 2011. For most of the mentioned names have been in the mix since the onset of her solo run and some as far back as Destiny’s Child.
How the new Bey Team fare will be especially interesting to see. Exciting, in fact.
In more ways than one, bring on the new “era”!
Bye felicia!!!! beyonce is a SONY label s****. yall can keep dreaming that this s**** is a boss b****. ha s**** assssss will FLOP!!!!
NO diamond album
NO 10+ #1 songs
NO masters
pop pinnacle? LMFAOOOOOOOO. #FLOP
KIIII at “no masters”
Mariah is a has been who hasn’t seen a hit single, #1 album, platinum plaque, or sold out tour since the 2005. Now go to Las-Vegas and join your mother and the rest of the lamb chops in her retirement home with Britney Spears. I would be pressed if my fav was shaped like a refrigerator!
A has been that charted higher than Thighyonce did last year? What does that make your fave? Let’s not forget that neither of them have had a #1 since 2008 which is what matters on the singles front. And Thighyonce’s total album sales still don’t even touch Mariah’s Music Box or Daydream.
Don’t try it with the Queen b1tch.
Imma have to disagree. When people are still aspiring to sing your songs (even when you can no longer sing them them same) then there is nothing Has about you.
When every year you are crowned the Queen of Christmas, and you sit back and rake in the cash from a song and videos when you write classic iconic songs then you are a boss!
Beyonces’s not a puppet. She doesn’t need SAMSUNG to buy 1 million copies of her album *sips tea*
She can’t because she doesn’t own her music masters. Plus Sony and Samsung are rivals, that’s like Adidas promoting Jordans when Nike owns Jordans. What a stupid comment.
Lmao the self drag MOOOOOO ??? Was stuck with that ugly ass Sony CEO giving head for sales, payola and Certifications. She is the epitome of a record s****/s** s**** KIIII!!!!
@HailBeysus
You beat me to the punch. I was just about to say everyone isn’t the type to f*** & marry their way to the top by getting with the head CEO of the label. Granted Mariah voice and talent speaks for itself but she defiantly got a-head because she gave good head every night at home!
The delusion
Heyonce will flop hard!!!!! Heyonce never had star quality and relied on her father stealing other peoples songs, like “if i were a boy” and Leona’s “Halo”. Mariah kicks that b****’s Di~k in the dirt everytime! Mariah’s last album was hot! Heyonce needs to sit her big ol booty and thighs down!
Linda way are you changing accounts. Can we get back to the original Moo Moo account please!
I think it’s because someone in her team leaked a story about her post nup with Jay Z. I don’t believe she fired this many people for no good or serious reason.
Heyonce = Flop! Mariah can kick that bit@hes di#k in the dirt! Mariah’s last album was hot! Heyonce only steals other peoples songs, like “halo” (leona lewis) and “if i were a boy”.Heyonce needs to sit that big ol bootay and thick thighs all the way down, shes done!!!!!!
Girl please, Mariah is so 1995. While Beyonce is getting her money/prenup in order so is Mariah’s fiance. We all know Mariah is just marrying him so she can be reimbursed for the money she spent & lost in the divorce settlement for playing sugar momma to Nick Cannon.
Chiele please! Mariah could have any man she wants and is marrying Packer for love NOT money! Heyonce has to wake up to that ugly ol rubber lipped fool every morning. Heyonce should have let Salonge finish him with a tiger uppper cut in that lift when she had the chance!
omg can y’all find another joke to replace MooMoo? It’s so old it’s not even funny. Honestly, it just makes the person writing it look dumb and uneducated. A smart person who knows how to read would have been found a new CLEVER way to insult someone. Instead of clinging to the little things that their little minds have difficulty holding onto.
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO???????
Screams!!!.. ? ? ?
You would have to be retarded. A label s**** doesn’t get ok’ed to release an album without notice. You might wanna look up Rick Ruben’s article a few years back where he basically said Beyoncé is COLUMBIA’s meal ticket and she calls the shot. She’s not directly a Sony artist.
Now this is a real BOSS B**** who runs her own business. Not like some girls who own their master yet still need Jay-z, Roc-Nation, and Samsung to purchase albums and lie to the media to make people believe her album is selling numbers we all know it isn’t!
Wtf rih have to do with this girl bye rih don’t need to f*** her way to the top and marry a ugly man to look like a power couple rih don’t need all that she made it by working hard bey is illiterate she has people run her life and business just like her hairstyles one for 40 years and it ain’t changing she see Kim k as a threat
Rihanna needed that ugly man you speak of the come and get Samsung to help buy 1 million copies to save Anti. Rihanna needed that ugly mans wife to copy her surprise album release. Kim never has & never will be on a Beyonce level. The truth hurts don’t it?
Rihanna didn’t NEED any of that stuff, she acquired the same deal as Jay. You probably don’t understand these career moves, but Rihanna just became the predecessor of the future music industry with how she released her music and RIAA just adjusted their rules with how they count streams in light of Rihanna’s release. Rihanna still pocketed $25 million for an album she released on her OWN label, following in Jay and Beyoncé’s footsteps. Jay-Z even said she accomplished what took her 15 years (owning masters, this deal, her top 10 and #1s, etc) in 10. Don’t be pressed and sound stupid in the process.
The delusion. Every artist Hs their own management.
DAAAAYYYUUUMMM!
Beyonce’s playing no games this era.
Ciara needs to do same move like this
Death @Even her cousin ?????
YAAAAASSSSS THE QUEEN COMING!!! Im so EXCITED FOR THIS ERA!!!!
I know! Angie had to pack her s*** lol!
KIIII
Monroe is so much prettier then that poison ivy thing that came out of Heyonce crack. Another thing Mariah beat Heyonce at…. Oops did I do that.
MOOOOOOO MOOOO MO MOOOOOO!!!!
Translation: dismiss yourself for bringing innocent little babies into this!
HA! You know it’s true anyway a your not even black Heyonce only makes music for her BLACK people not for the Asian kind like you… and yes I am BLACK ??
she waiting for adele’s hype to end. poor thing. she so scared. LMFAOOOOOOO
Ummm no that was Rihanna. Her album was scheduled for Novemeber until Adele announced she was coming back. Then Rihnan went into hiding & literally locked her self behind 8 doors and didn’t come out until she could have Samsung purchase her album and buy her a platinum plaque. Beyonce would never!
Chiillee let’s not speak on Adele’s slaying when you’ve literally been trying to justify FREEanna’s flop album for the past 5 days….
@Tyler
He clings to Rihanna which is so odd to me. How do you start off stanning for the “GREAT Mariah Carey” to now stanning for the “BASIC Rihanna”? I guess when Mariah’s decline began so did his taste in talent lol!
#Gotovegas
@Rashad
Because he’s not really a Mariah Stan.
@Tyler
I figured this out years ago about Rihanna stans who do that. Rihanna cant sing so they “pretend & cling” to other artist who can sing so they can “try” and diss Bey. Same way they “cling” to Aaliyah & Janet or other talented dance artist because Rihanna cant dance herself. If Rihanna had vocal and dance talent them girls wouldn’t be leaning or clinging to anyone other than Rihanna herself.
@Rashad
BINGO! I peeped that out a long time ago.
Mariah the Legend even mentioned that she stans for Rihanna. So I don’t even bother shading Mariah when she tries to come for Beyonce. I scalp Rihanna instead. Because we all know that’s who she really stans for kiii
OMG The guy she is working with is no joke Steve Pamon has so much credibility!
Im so excited this time around, Last era was an “ehh” for me… But im really ready to see what she brings this go round.
i wonder who will block her this time. kiiiiiii
Not FREEanna that’s forsure kiiiii
It won’t be Rihanna… That’s for damn sure
175,000 first week for Anti lol! Beyonce would never!
MOOOOOOOOOOO ???????
How is it possible that Mariah can built like an cow and all the squared house hold appliances in my apartment all at the same time lol??????
Look at all the beehive having a meltdown. LoL it must be that cell phone radiation that has them all over the place with insults. NewsFlash Find new relevant jokes and not jokes from #8yearsAgo I mean we all know that was beyonce last #1 but you don’t have to cling like that.
Beyonce is her own boss, has her own company, her own record studio, is worth more than 400 million dollars, has beeen number #1 on Forbes Celebrity 100, is the most commercially viable performer of this generation, manages herself, is the executive director of her own projects,projects, AND influenced FREEanna to venture off on her own and model Westbury Rd ENT after Parkwood ENT.
#BeyInspired
But Mariah next husband worth more than bey 10 times and Jay z
Wonder what made her wanna up grade? Guess she got tired of playing Sugar momma. Beyonce would never!
I cannot with the person using cow emoji’s for”Mariah The Legend” LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
—–
Anyways, I can’t wait for Queen Bey’s return! I’m already slayed by Rih’s ANTI album. I love every song (even the bonus tracks). But, “Higher” is tragic only due to those horrid vocals. What the hell was she thinking?! Rihanna & Bey are the biggest black female entertainers alive.
My Chucky voice “LINDAAAAA!!!! WHERE THE FUXK ARE YOU!!!” ????
Giggles!
Lmao me, you and Tyler went 0 to 100 real quick. Linda’s bitxh ass fled the scene real quick!
I just noticed that! He is usally quick to respond. However we snacthed that wig in 4,5 seconds and had this wig rolling on the ground like a tumble weed! He stay trying it living in 1976 with those old Mariah stats that Mariah herself cant even do a half of today let alone sing like she did back then! Now he clinging to the most It’s too easy to drag these girls!
More like 0 to stupid real quick. You only used insults that don’t even apply to the person you’re trying to insult.
Meanwhile back to that 35 carrot vs Beyonce teenage carat. Back to the 2016 Book Of World Records. Back to being in shape. Back to 520 million in the bank. Back to being that b****.
Yas mam, she’s coming to slay careers!!!!!! You ready??
Let’s Go Get Em!
I’m not ready…I can’t deal now beyonce is gonna take all my dollars because i will buy her album for my whole family, go for at least four shows front row.. God Bey era is here..hive need to go all out and support.. Im tired of the comparisons of our queen to lessers…I love the way hive here stan for the true queen.P.S hard work pays.
Beyonce is a real boss b****, unlike that umbrella girl. Anyways I’m ready for a new album, I know she’s going to bring it.
All this says to me is that the album release is not near but quite far ahead. I just hope I’m wrong
Well atleast Beyonce keeps her plans to HERSELF! More importantly “fans and critics alike” all learned a vauable lesson to stop ASSUMING we know what she is up to or her next move is. That “Surprise” album shcoked everyone including her haters and fans. Whatever she does she just needs to take her time and release it when she is READY… Unlike some “Anti-less talents out here in these streets!
Rihanna and Beyoncé…
.
THE BIGGEST BLACK [FEMALE] POP-STARS OF THE 21ST CENTURY, thus far. I love them both.
Personally speaking, I can’t hep but think that Beyonce has seen the commotion surrounding Rihanna’s new album and does not want to follow suit at all and seeing as this is her last album to deliver before she either renews her contract or move elsewhere… Well…
.
I’M READY.
P.S: ANTI has been revised upward to sell 200K… YES! GET IT RIH. <3
Noooo don’t say that!!! I want a single before summer ???? lol
Oops sorry lol that was suppose to be for @Everyone’s A Critic
I know. All these girls are definitely serving up a nice starter but I’m ready for the Main Course, Queen Bey
The HIVE and NAVU are joke.
The “BIGGEST BLACK FEMALE ENTERTAINERS” and yet they havent even seen an album deliver commercially like Usher, Britney, J.T or even Alicia Keys… I can’t! LMAO. They all had successful diamond era’s with sales WW that supplant 10 Million… Why hasn’t BeyTHIEF achieved that yet? Or RihTHOT? LMAO.
At least RihTHOT has the U.S Billboard singles chart on LAWCK. . . and is the best selling digital artist in recorded history although shes still talentless. What about Ms. S**** on Blouse? She just pushed 5 Mill with her debut album? I’m embarrassed. You better HOPE her next album outsells the SELF-TITLED porno album! KIIII
And what/where is the fruit of these albums they sold? Also, even Rihanna outsells all those people you mentioned in today’s climate. Sit down. Educate yourself on the economics of music consumption in today’s age.
The HįVE and NAVY are joke.
The “BIGGEST BLACK FEMALE ENTERTAINERS” and yet they havent even seen an album deliver commercially like Usher, Britney, J.T or even Alicia Keys… or Xtina… or Justin Bieber. LMAO. I can’t! LMAO.

At least RihHO has the U.S Billboard singles chart on LAWCK. . . and is the best selling digital artist in recorded history although shes still talentless. What about Ms. K** on Blouse?

Reply
ANTI… FLOOOOOOOP.
Hell if she planning on stepping to that epic uncontrollable fire that is “Rihanna” this era, which is only the beginning by the way for you trolls who thought that 1,000 units sold first week would stick after the album was already platinum, she might as well start from scratch and put together a new team! Ya’ll really have been having Rih F**cked up this week and mixed up with someone else(Ci-error) all for the sake of Beyonce’ and her ratchet ass Bey-Hive! You lose again!
Girl please!
Rihanna confused and lost ass been slaving over that bland, pointless, try hard album for nearly 3 years and all she deliverd was lukew warm snippets and interludes and tried to conviecne she is now a “Anti-pop star? LOL… Maybe next time. Rihanna’s era will fizzle out very soon.
Rihanna tried to do a bigger and better version of Beyonce’s “Surprise album” and failed… which is why she fled the scene when Adele came through and hid until Samsung could buy her out of flopping!
Smh, @Rashad why are you always on here? I mean…don’t you have a man??? Stop trying to make fetch happen, you’re a loser sweetie!
Indeed that fire was uncontrollable! She burned Samsung, Universal Music and Roc Nation. Their so embarrassed everyone’s blaming each other for that mess ???
Platinum? B**** you’re acting as if she earned that platinum plaque.
It wasn’t deserved, it was BOUGHT #SAMSUNG
Lea mad… Giggles!
@LEA
You just mad because I clocked your ass with nothing but facts no go run like a good little dog you are and “FETCH” that!
@Rashad, sweetie what the hell is clock? Clock as in time? Please elaborate I don’t speak what ever the hell language your mama taught you and her other 8-10 kids! #AntiInStoresNow
Get lost bums! I have little to no energy to argue with any of you today, tomorrow, or any other day of your miserable pathetic little lives. You’re all a bunch of d*** riding, welfare, project apartment, trailer park residing trap queens with no direction! #AntiInStoresNow
You don’t even go here…..
Awww no energy. Im taking it the A-I-D-S progressed over the weekend. ??Ill say a little prayer for you!??
YOurwhack ass came in here thinking you was gonna shade the queen? Your ass got too many Bey stings and now you wanna flee the scene? You just like that Mariah stan ealier who fled also when he came and we dragged that ass all the way to Las-Vegas
@Tyler, I don’t go where? Is this a school? Rotfl… I’ve seen it all! Girl get lost before I call your PIMP! 🙂
@Rashad, save the whole drag talk i’m only here to troll the weak, lol. And it’s working! Your ratchet shenehneh, key-low-low looking ass fell for it. It bothers me how much effort you h*** put into calling someone your “Queen” roach who you cant even get to pay your rent in the ghetto. Good night sweetie, you lost again.
@LEA
Stay mad, stay bothered, stay pressed, stay constipated, stay bloated, stay gassy, stay and remain anything that keeps you fumming over Beyonce’s return. Your girl Rihanna and the Navy thought they were better but, try to copy Jay-z & Beyonces release and FLOPPED… NOW DEAL!
Kiii stay constipated ???
She is mad because her life is OVA!! The A-I-D-S is in its final stages.
@Rashad sweetheart please, everyone on this blog knows that your p**** is just as old, crusty, ran through, and has more miles on it than a Kentuky Durby! Take your trifling ass to the clinic and get lost! #AntiInStoresNow
@HailBeysus, weren’t you the one everyone was dragging for admitting to getting caught sucking d*** or eating ass whichever it was. Pouring out your feelings and telling all ya business like a tell all book from the oldest washed up celeb? Or am i mistaking the b**** with someone else? You tried it sweetie!
Gurrrrl you’re dragging yourself! You got my life fuxked up with your own chawld!! Ive been here since August so it shouldn’t take you long to pull up receipts of where i was exposed as being this filfty smexy w**** ??… Anyteaways huntea im sending prayer your way for the A-I-D-S ???
@
@HAILBEYSUS
She keep trying… You would think she would be tired of me, you, & Tyler mopping her ass with the floor by now lol?
I’m sorry that your p**** is in that current condition, however deflecting you delapitated p**** on me wont change the state or size of that sinkhole between your thigs…. You tried and failed AGIAN! Come harder!
Go Bey! 🙂
Good for her, she’s doing what makes her happy! The next era better come soon, I still can’t get over the masterpiece that is 4.
Lol Beyonce is a true boss. That’s what separates her from the “rest”. 19 years in the game and the slayage just keeps on coming. What other artist is doing it?
These kids keep acting like Bey is new to the game.
Beyonce was here BEFORE (Rihanna, Gaga, Adele, Taylor, Miley, Salena, and Katy). When some of these girls fizzle out and no longer relevant best to believe Beyonce along with her wig, leotard, and heels, and windmachine will stil be around! Beyonce has nothing to prove with this album. When these “new girls” are still dropping surprise albums, headlining Superbowls, winning grammys 19yrs into their careers then we can talk!
When Heyonce has 19 number 1’s on the billboard hot 100 then we can talk! Now sit down that ass, it must be tired from all the pounding its been receiving!
Honey OK! That’s why I don’t even squabble with these other stans. Their favs are hot for the moment, mine is hot for a lifetime! Beyonce is a baby legend. I really don’t care what the other delusionists have to say about it.
You’re clearly not a real Mariah stan, so go ahead and purchase some more Anti copies Navy in disguise.
@KnowlesCarter
Who is Mariah? Sounds like some washed up has-been from the 1996.
clearly i am a Mariah stan as i was counting the dance remix of triumphant. BYE FELICIA!
Lmao so you just gunna count every #1 and add it to BBs #1s ????? the lies it tells tk save face! Stop fronting Linda and change thag name tl fRih!!!
Mariah hasn’t been hot since 2005. Before then, 1997. However, she could benefit from some hot tea because those vocals are shot.
DEATH @Mariahlambly exposing itself! I though Mooooooo had 18 #1s??? Gurrrl giving me LINDA TEASES!!! Know your favs stats! Change that name to fRih!!!
Triumphant No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Club/Play! Dont test me Hailbeysus beeyatch!
Gurrrrl who fooling!!?? Ain’t nobody scared of you! Better take that threat ok to the retirement home with Mooo!!
I hope bey know what she doing its like when stars switched teams and labels they fell hard cause thry expect so much i dont matter about teams or label really its about the consumer to buy i love her and riri but rih should stayed at def jam having your own label dont mean nothing if you dont sell also it sad that only two black artists have to work and fight harder than others
Just had to drag a b**** or two for fun. Wont say any names,they know who they are. The little girls knew better from the start, no love lost as long as they stay in their projects/trailer parks and away from me. #AntiInStoresNow
Bish! Why you talking/co-signing yourself?? Forget to change accounts???? Poorthing the dementia from the A-I-D-S is really taking over.
Hail He Yonce. Look-

Oh please. All you Beyonce fools clinging to her like she’s such a force. I’m sure it will be sexual songs again. Mariah remains unbothered. She’s Queen!!!! 220 Millions records later and she’s still on top. When will Beyonce have 2 diamond , 1 (9xp), 1 (6xp), 3 (5xp), 1 (4xp), 2 (3xp) , 4 (1xp) and 2 gold albums?!?!? Never in her career!!! While Mariah is a hasbeen in Vegas (as some of ya’ll are making it out to be) she also remains unbothered because every christmas her classic xmas album and single keeps charting around the world going top 10 and 20 almost everywhere while the bitter hive should wait for beyonce to get a big gig to release new music or wait … Will she surprise release again? Why aint she slaying with Hymn for me a hit?!? Lol. Nice try hive! Mariah will always be better. Biggest Selling Female artist of the soundscan era while beyonce is struggling to get into the top 50 best selling artists list hahahaha. 3rd overall best selling female artist in the world!!!!! YES WORLD. Where’s beyonce?!? Probably top 30 (good for her). Mariah actually loves Beyonce and vice versa, so I don’t know why stupid stan bases need to pit these women against each other. I actually also like beyonce but don’t ever come for queen Mariah because even her ‘old stats’ are still hers. P.S: No this is not a troll account 😉
Mariah cannot sing anymore and her music has been crap for over a decade. Didn’t her last album sell like 50k? No one cares about her honey and she keeps no one pressed. Now move along troll, we are discussing true boss b****** here….
Lmfaooooooo those stats would be badass if her Vag and Mouth didn’t take a beating daily Sony’s CEO ????
Meanwhile the media is dragging this retāred loose walled cūm guzzeling chewbacca looking āss bìtch for committing cultural appropriation. 😆
________________________
As for Beyoncé’s role, it was awkward and sometimes felt disrespectful. Most of the frustration came around Beyoncé’s poor and effortless attempt at learning the ancient Hindu dance style Bharatnatyam. During her camera-time mimicking a Bollywood actress (not sure why they couldn’t have an Indian play for this role in the 1st place, but thats a later argument) she twirls her wrists and hands like its some exotic ritual and actual steps of an traditional Indian dance form. On the contrary, to anyone that watched Bharatnatyam dance performances, it looks like a mockery vs. authentic amateur attempt.
To give an analogy, it’s like a Celebrity such as Beyoncé putting traditional Native headfeathers on and just hopping around in a circle. This would be borderline racism and obvious cultural appropriation; hence why the comedic attempt at Beyoncé’s Bharatnatyam (or whatever Indian dance style the choreographer thought) was disturbing.
Another problem was Beyoncé’s dress – it was a weird attempt to mimick a traditional Indian Hindu sari but fell-short of looking like a Islamic Burqa mixed with a robotic android. Let us not forget the reality of when thousands of Indians, Hindus or other cultural groups wear their native attire as it’s not uncommon for them to face racism. For example, one of the most extreme hate-groups in America during the 80’s was called the ‘dot-busters’. Members of the ‘dot-busters’ group would randomly beat up Hindus, while targeting Hindu women wearing red-dots (known as bindis)…and we all know it’s cool (now) when celebrities like Beyoncé wear such things.
Lol ok. Dragging would be the 70 Metacritic score your faves latest fail attempt of an album received.
Now who is this random?
…and not it using Metacritic. ? So 70% is bad? WTF?
70% is a C. Self Titled received a B+. I’m no random. I’ve been here long before you existed, not that it matters troll. 🙂
LOL. Random, nobody knows who tf you are, even if you claim that you’ve been here longer than me, hell even I could’ve said that. Now disappear and make yourself scarce.
Spend that energy purchasing more copies of Anti. #130K. Oh yeah, throw in some tour tickets while you’re at it.
Instead of commenting under different email, you should use that energy and try to get Beybøla a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. George W. Bush was still in office since Beybøla had #1 hit. Micheal Jackson was still alive. ?

I’m sure you can read the rest.
I’d take the people of INDIA and SOUTH ASIA’S voice over WHITE AMERICA’S VOICE ANYDAY! You’re asking me if i read i did. But clearly your ass didn’t read the Time article. Also on BB facebook the comments are in favor with Bey, on the MV on YT the comments are in favor with Bey. Try again Centipied! Stop grasping at straws dumb fuxk!
And TIME is an American publications idiot that doesn’t even specialize in reporting music news. Their opinion always irrelevant just like their end-of-year lists of the best music.
Lmao did ya reads its??? Did Ya sees its had actual people from India defending hers! Like i said the people of South Asia —-> Pressed As Whites
YOU’RE trying way to hard to deflect from fRihs scalping this week. Social Media is living for her Try Hard million sold with Samsung! Nothing is overshadowing that massacre anytime soon kiii!!!!
So by your logic, you’re gonna take an American publication’s opinion over an Indian publication’s? LMAO. What would you or any American know about Indian culture? By looking it up on Wikipedia? How about the people who actually belong or practise the culture? You sound stupid, but what would one expect from a Beybøla stan? ???
Hahahaha where this article from? Who wrote it? South Asia has spoken stop being DESPERATE. Nothing deflecting from fRihs scalping this week!
ANTI is about to Top the Billboard 200 come next week. No one is deflecting but you about your dirty ass høe of a fave who sings about giving men head in the back of car (“Partition”) and it committing Cultural Appropriation.
TOPIC: Beybøla getting dragged for Cultural Appropriation.
YOU: Music. ????
And did you honestly think I wrote thator something about cūm guzzeling DeepThoatingATMyonce committing Cultural Appropriation? You could’ve copied and pasted a sentence and gotten your source, but as always, common sense and/or intelligence is a factor the no-life-having-āss-høe-hive lack. Here’s the INDIAN publication: http://www.chakranews.com/the-new-coldplay-ft-beyonce-video-includes-both-cultural-appropriation-cultural-appreciation/5297
Lets not forget PRINCESS OF CHINE (Rihanna) appropriating chinese culture. F****** dumb a**.
Again : go purchase your flop favs latest attempt to stay relevant : Hymn me a hit please I’m desperate!!! P.S: remember your lesser fav was inspired by Mariah’s Vision of Love to become a singer hahahahahah
Lmao wrooooong MJ inspired bey at age 4 to become an entertainer!
Bey respects and was inspired by a lot of artists. From Anita Baker, to Whitney, to Lauryn Hill, to Diana Ross, to Tina Turner, to Kim Burrell, to Barbara Streisand. Yeah, she was very impressed by Mariahs runs in VOL, but she isn’t one of Bey’s main favs at all.
Hymn me a hit please I’m desperate topped the indian itunes chart (the smallest music market in the world!) selling 3 copies!!!!!!!!! Get that platinum smash Beyonce lmao
Why are these Thighyonce stans coming for the Pinnacle of Pop Music? Sure your fave can sing and dance, but God knows she can’t write a song or even steal a memorable one aside from Dangerously in Love.
26 years into her career, she still selling out venues around the world, still getting thousands of fans to fly from around the world to see her, still charting higher than the newest pop tarts, and still making the top earners charts.
If you’re going to keep feeding that fake Mariah fan troll at least come at it with better shade. It’s obvious that she’s just a bitter Goat supporter.
Keep it cute sis. Mariah herself has quite a few copy right infringement cases circulating the web. Lets Not also forget the receipts of Tommy Mottola using his money as payola for her singles, chart manipulation and tweaking the charts. With that said which Mariah Stan you talking about? Im gunna guess Linda aka Mariah The Legend who is probably Mariahlabmly lol

International – can HE yonce say that word? NO!
DEATH!!! Not OMG LOGIC CLOCKING YOU!Now your new??? KIII DISMISS YOURSELF HOEEE!!!
Beyonce is a BOSS
Riherrppes Diamonds is more iconic than all of Trannyyonce’s songs
diamonds also outsold every beyonce song. kiiiiiiiiii
A flop is on the way. Whenever an artist switch up management and drops an album right after flops. Artpop anyone? It took Rihanna a full year to get everything right. Plus labels don’t really help out or support on your last album on the contract. Unapologetic was barely promoted by Def Jam and it was pretty much ignored in 2013. Same with Mariah Carey last albums on Sony and Def Jam. Janet with Virgin, Usher right now, Same with Britney Spears with RCA.
.
You can tell that Sony put their focus on 25 and Adele. Why would I invest in your spare you can look better to another label. I told y’all years ago, Beyonce, JT, Usher and so many other artists are in trouble. Because labels are focused on the artist in the 360 deals. Albums aren’t selling and because of old contracts, labels can’t touch their tour money and other income. So why would I invest in an older artist and get only album sales when I can invest in this newer younger artist and get them deals outside of music and get all or a high percentage of that money and tour money and whatever else they have going on.
.
Beyonce is looking at Rihanna and Janet with envy right now.
Rihanna’s Flop is already here fāg.
Beyonce see Rihanna and is like this could be ME! I bet Master Sony won’t give her the masters of her old music. Lol
LOL. We all know Beybøla is gonna serve her master and sign to Roc Nation and still not have ownership of her music. She was already big when she was in DC and still couldn’t get one. 😆
Bad week for a pest. 🙂 4flop 2.0
Let’s hope anti outsells 4. The Navy always digs themselves a hole.
Already did.
Didn’t 4 sell 300k in the first week? Rihøe is barely scraping 150k kii. Stank pum pum b**** can’t even do Prism numbers.
Um… where?
Two Def Jam employees??? Hmmmmmm
Beyonce gonna leave Sony for Def Jam for her next album per JAYZ request???? NOOOOOO!!!
Jayz’s label already been under Def Jam /UMG label.
When Beybøla’s 6th album flops, they’re gonna blame her label just like Micheal Jackson, BUT Beybøla is trash, not innovative or creative (she stole the surprise release idea from David Bowie) and is nothing more than medicated trained lab rat unlike MJ, and should never be compared to him as such. 4closure The Sequel is coming.
I’m so excited. That manager is huge, he means business. I know Beyonce always likes to outdo herself so I feel something big is around the corner.
Hahaha at the Pest coming for Mariah. Another artist that writes her songs, sold over 200 million records, 18 #1 hits. Both haven’t had a #1 hit since 2008, but one has 18 while the other only has 5. The pest are losing it. Anti assassination week.
Correct yourself hoeee! Im coming for Mariah! Unlike the rest of you walking contradictions ill hold my ground on what i gotta say. You need to dismiss yourself from using Mariahs stats! Especially when you say stuff life “Don’t get me started on Mariah’s singles throughout the 90s”. Get the fuxk to stepping closeted fuxking confused faaaag!
Anti has surely been assaniated all week. I’m surprised you’re still here. You should go into hiding like the rest of them.
They and their blonde fave stay disrespecting LEGENDS.
I personally don’t mind because soon everyone will eventually take notice and it’s BEYnowhereLengendary who will pay the price in the end.
Sounds like a true boss to me!
I think the Navy is a bit confused. A flop is selling less than Bangez, Artpop and 4 after 3 years of hype and having to purchase your own platinum plaque. Selling 460 copies of an anticipated album in 3 hours. Having hundreds of empty seats in your arena tour which starts at the end of the month. Not something that hasn’t even happened yet.
Come thru Bey, this should be interesting.
Not the GÂYvy talking about flops. Beyonces “flops” end up selling more than Rihanna’s successes. Y’all are so delusional kii.
Didn’t 4 sell the same amount as most of Rihannas albums on average? Like 3 million. They are dragging their own faves discography.
YAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS. DRAG BEYONCE!!!!! LMFAOOOOOOOOO
Oop OMG Logic clocked ya trolling account so brought Mariah The Legend Back! ???
Kii no one claims it. Not The Navy or Lambs. The only relevance it has is being dragged by the Hive.
Queen Bey is coming. I bet she been having a good cackle at Frih’s downward spiral. I can imagine her doing something hella petty to make Frihs rollout like stupid and I’m here for it.
how dare the beyhive talking s*** about Queen Mariah YOUR FAVE’S FAVE? they done tried it hunny. “Hero” and “Always Be My Baby” are more iconic than beyonce song, album, documentary, you name it. Mariah throwing shade is more iconic than Shityonce herself.
*any beyonce song
One thing in life you can never take back is time. So why waste it on RiRi !!!!!

It’s 1st class shade, hence the reason you’re in my reply box. Did you catch the shade ??????

‘If you’re going to keep feeding that fake Mariah fan troll at least come at it with better shade. It’s obvious that she’s just a bitter Goat supporter.’
…..
LMFAO.
FYI I’m into Rihanna, but Mariah is my main b****!!!! And no matter how you wanna spin all this, Mariah will remain unbothered and sips on that champagne while beyonce will NEVER ever ever get a diamond album, no wait….6x platinum album in the US hahahahahah. 15 years later Mariah went 6x platinum with Emancipation while Dangerously in Love was only certified 5xplatinum in 2015 LOL. The struggle with her catalog sales is real. But now that the RIAA is incorporating streaming into the charts maybe DIL will finally go 6x *Dead. The Hive should face the fact that Mariah will remain Queen forever. P.S Beyonce said Mariah Carey’s Vision Of Love was the song that made her want to be a singer. POINT BLANK. End of discussion. Go google illiterate hive
I’m dying!!! These comments are everything!!! I’m going to put my 2 cents in. First of all why are we comparing Mariah and Bey in the first place? There are ZERO similarities between them. I personally don’t like Mariah now but I liked her when she was a brunette. I’m bored with her now! Beyoncé doesn’t steal anyone’s songs! She buys them, it’s part of the business!!! To be honest it’s rare nowadays that an Artist writes ALL of their songs. RARE. Most of the greats didn’t write their own music but who cares!!! If it’s good it’s good, and she ALWAYS gives credit where credit us due! I don’t understand why people hate on Bey all the time when she’s doing her damn thing! Don’t act like you aren’t jamming to XO or Blow or Run The World!!! Get AKL of your LIFE!!! There is one thing j can agree on though, Rihanna CANT SING!!! Gorgeous but NOPE
Do you all ever get tired?
Im glad shes getting rid of keri hilson and having Amerie clean her offices at parkwood and everything. But what she needs is to get rid of that BAND & backup dancers… im soooo tired of seeing Ashley and that other girl. Reminds me of how she overused IESHA from the DIL & DF Eras. There has to be other Stand outs out there somewhere. If kelly can scout out girl group surely she can have kelly find her sum dancers.
Good luck with the new team I wish you all the blessing hsppness and more success in all you do
Aww poor cousin Angie!! 🙁 Well I guess Bey’s gotta do what she gotta do!! That’s why I love and respect her so much! But betchu Kelly will recycle her old team, lol. No shade no T. That would be a good look anyway.
See I appreciate Beyoncé as an artist but her fans are nothing but a bunch of bullies. It’s like those snobby queens at the gay clubs who roll their eyes whenever someone tries to say hi or befriend them – it makes you cringe.
Beyoncé as an artist is awesome, she’s reminds me a lot of Tina Turner in her prime. However throwing away you’re whole management team seems a bit excessive but perhaps there was shady stuff going on behind the scenes?
Anyway to me there’s room for Bey & RIRI. Time has proven that no matter How much people pit them against each other they both continue to shine in their own unique ways.
interested to see what she does this time around.
You also have to realize that’s other fan bases act as a bey Stans and be negative. You can tell in the way they write.
The Fact that all Beyonce Threads have the most comments, I’ll bet in the History of this site. The hate that comes only shows people with common sense that Beyonce really is Queen.
I love me some Bey… but lets be honest here I dont ever see her doing Adele type numbers. Adele pretty much hits every demographic. Beys music only appeal to a certain type of demographic and Adele doesnt. In my opinion her most successful era will always be I Am Sasha Fierce, this is also her Peak era in my opinion! But im here for whatever shes got for us!
Thief Beyonce is mad and jealous Rihanna’s team made a power move selling a million copies to samsung..who did not want to buy thiefyonce’s copycat album so the cut throat b**** fired her own rip off crew..out of pure jealousy ..#navyteam
Haven’t liked Beyonce since 2003-2005. I’m looking forward to this though. Always interesting when an artist cleans house
Well…Well….Well…It’s about time. Sad to say but all the music executives and yes people all lied for years. That song with Nikki Minaji was the WORST!!!!! She hasn’t had real music since her first album. About time she started realizing that her music needs a real change. Adele helped that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce is king..y’all will deal.I like riri she is cute and makes me bop and when im high shes cute too but i have all Beyonce albums and i would pay a thousand dollars to see bey i cant say the same for any other artists except MJ when he was alive.
What’s up, this weekend is good in favor of me, since
this point in time i am reading this wonderful educational paragraph here at my
home.
