Beyonce is building more than a new album, she’s moulding an empire.

As reported, the diva extraordinaire is morphing her Parkwood Entertainment imprint into a label that houses artists beyond herself. One of said signees are sister duo Chloe x Halle.

YouTube sensations with over half a million subscribers, the teen sensations (aged 18 and 16 respectively) are now being shepherded by the ‘Formation’ maven.

Naturally, then, all eyes and ears are on their collective output.

The first taste arrived today in the form of ‘Drop’ – the group’s new video.

Still unimpressed with the comments, Porsha spoke up and out on her DISH Nation radio show, accusing her detractor of…”casting curses on her career.”
