It’s the deal that’s already seen her dominate television screens and beverage aisles across the globe.
Now, after inking a lucrative arrangement with Pepsi that will ultimately see them serve as one of her many investors, Beyonce has defended her decision to get into bed with the company, after coming under fire for her alleged endorsement of their allegedly unhealthy products.
Find out what she had to say on matter via ‘Flaunt‘ below:
Excerpt via ‘Flaunt’:
Some were critical at your participating in a Pepsi campaign after you moved your body for childhood obesity. Where is the balance between your career objectives and your philanthropy?
“Pepsi is a brand I’ve grown up seeing my heroes collaborate with. The company respects musicians and artistry. I wouldn’t encourage any person, especially a child, to live life without balance.
When you work out, take care of your body, rehearse as hard as I rehearsed in the commercial, I think it’s great to have a Pepsi or Diet Pepsi when you want one. It’s all about choices.”
Well said Bey!
While the argument against the deal some hold weight, it all boils down to- as she accurately put it- choices.
Quite simply, endorsing a product that some may consider sugary is not the same as popping open its bottle and forcing it down an unsuspecting throat.
Perhaps, in a bid to make public figures accountable for every move they make, society’s forgotten to look at ‘self’, blaming obesity on the companies who churn out the sugary delights, instead of questioning those who choose to fill up on them.
However, the question still remains….
Is Beyonce right to endorse Pepsi?
You know what we think, so share your thoughts below!

Shes such an amazing woman & role model Mariah could learn a few things from classy respectable Beyonce 😉
Rihanna could learn from her mamma bear too. I hope shes taking notes.
Girl please. For $50 million she better put out that PR fire. That’s not class. That common sense. Some of you confuse the two.
Now critics want to scrutinize Pepsi for having a black woman get the big endorsement deal. Same old drink year after year so why scrutinize Pepsi by itself without scrutinizing all soft drink companies. Plus Pepsi has a diet line out if the complaints are about the sugar. Pepsi is not forcing anyone to buy their drinks.
she has every right in the world to endorse that company!!!
they put millions in their pockets, and also help her with her world tour….and she only has 1 child…..
everyone else needs to hold accountability for their children, and stop fussing at these celebs!!
hell if pepsi gives me 50million, u damn right, im going to gulp a can of soda down…lol
~~ Unbelievable~`Wow~~`My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy black man. They met through ~BlàckWhìteHub. Ç o m ~~ They told me it is a Serious black white dating for black & white single s seeking interracial relationships, friendships, dating ,love and more.. So, if you want to look for people with which you can date, you are at the right place.You can meet(lawyers,busy professionals, benefactors. models, celebrities, and so on….)If you are single, perhaps you can have a try.xcbxb
Such a liar and a traitor!
b****
Of course not she stated what everyone SHOULD already know and shes not responsible for the fatties that take her face on a can to the extreme
Fake b****
hatin b****!!
Exactly
She’s a great role model. My role model. My god!!!
I want my kids to be like her.
PREACH!!!!!!
PATHETIC…. But your “God” Beyonce makes mistakes just like you and everyone else. Why would you worship a flawed human being?
If shes such a great Role Model then why don’t they give her the role model crown and leave Rihanna the hell along about being one.
And if she don’t want it then give it to Baby Blue to wear.
B**** you did not just call BeYAWNce a God. B**** I hope Jesus scalps your 4lop fave in front of you as your sorry ass clings to the last fake blonde weave strings and is thrown into Hell!!!
JER They are nuttier than a fruit cake with extra nuts.
honey she a GODDESS!! she can do NO wrong. YEA B****** I SAID IT!!!!!
TRUTH Maybe so but each to their own, the Lord did not break the Mold after he made Mrs Beyonce Knowles Carter,
because he made You and Me,Love.
He even made Baby Blue ,Nicki, you get my drift.
Now i could care less about who’s ass you want to Kiss don’t get me wrong keep right on Puckering Up to Beyonce ass I am not mad at You.
So drinking sugary ass soft drinks contribute to living a balanced life? This tramp is so delusional. Michelle Obama is against sodas because they are a part of the reason why American children are so obese. Why join her “Move Ya Body” campaign if you’re just gonna endorse one of the very things it speaks against? Oh yeah, Beysmokeandmirrorsyce and her camel partner are all about the dollar dollar bill yall!
KRISSKROOS Only for Beyonce and if it was any one else they would get the riot act read to them,for this huge Endorsement deal.
You completely missed the point. Having balance means that one can drink soda, but that should be balanced out with exercising and eating healthier meals.
Beyonce’s part in the move your body campaign was to encourage kids to exercise. And to show that exercising can be fun.
You ppl grasp at straws every chance you get
I pray for blue ivy everyday…
Damn I love them Carters!!!
I love them too.
F*** HER OL’ DUSTY CREOLE H**
SHE NEED TO GO COMB BLUE IVY PEASY ASS HEAD HER CHUBBY ASS
B**** you wouldn’t encourage a child to live without diabetes. And dead at working out, Bey, we all know them flabby hands and jelly thunder thighs don’t work out honey, be seated. Your claim at working out is as credible as fat ass’ Oprah’s claim at working out which we all know is a lie.
Taking a walk from your house to the nearest KFC to get your bucket of chicken is not working out.
We can see the results of people that work out, you don’t, now wobble and jiggle your way to the newest gym fatty.
I hear she just signed a $20 million deal with Popeyes, and is currently being inspired…I mean writing a jingle for Kool Aid, extra sugar.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
DEATH!!!!!!!!!!
LOVEBIRD i hear you
KRISSKROSS I AND LooL, KFC
lMAO
Well DUH people are so dumb she shouldn’t even have to explain herself. Pepsi alone doesn’t make you fat. Shes got a brand and career she shouldn’t be put in a box people just exaggerate and want to complain because its Beyonce. If people want to over do it that’s their stupid mistake and parents responsibility to say no end of.
Oh Beyonce just stfu your such a money hungry phony….
Anyways Ciara NEW Self entitled Album is out now make sure you get a copy guys 🙂
Beyonce got her mind on nothing but her Billions,thats all.
Miss Monroe will inherit her Mom’s 5 octave vocal range and leave Blue Ivy and North South East West in the dust.
Stupid child. She also inherit her moms weak nodules too.
North West>>>>>>>>>>Blue Ivy
Delusional b****
Blue Ivy>>>>>>> the rest.
Most famous, wealthiest and most impressive bloodline #Deal.
The number 1 hypocrite in this industry
I agree Beyonce. She said it well.
Beyonce, it is bad enough you suffer from illiteracy. Do yourself a favor and just shut up!
lmao
Rotf lmao.
Beyonce is the queen of smokes and mirrors, her dance routines are not as complex as Ciara, Janet Jackson, Britney (s**** 4 u era) but her fans think just because she blows her weave around and has seizures on stage, she’s slaying, and yet any t***** in a wig can do that s***.
She cannot even take instagram pics without the use Photoshop and now she wants to lie that she works out. Gurl sit your ass down somewhere, with those jelly thighs no one is doing to believe that s***. You tried it though, you really did.
Don’t you ever get bored of saying the same thing?
Coming from a BeYAWNce stan.
PREACH!!!!!!
HADLEY put you mussler over your mouth,
and Quietly stfu.
”she blows her weave around and has seizures on stage” lmao yessss
F****** hypocrite one minute she’s in Michelle videos promoting healthy life style for kids then the next minute she’s promoting Pepsi. All this heifer cares about is money and the exposure.. Can’t stand her two faced selves, she just not genuine at all.
Beyonce and her Husbands worshippes their Money and could
care less about anything else.
The Royalty Baby is related to Blue Ivy? LMAO….
@slayriah
Hating doesn’t suit you babe 🙂
@Brazilian Beyonce IKR Beyonce literally DOES have royal blood. They tried though.
Beyonce said it well. Just because she did one little Michelle work out doesn’t mean shes chained to only promoting healthy stuff. B**** please. Shes got money to make. And she still did Michelle a favor.
Yes that shows that Beyonce will hunt with any dog if
the Price is right.
Can’t with her fakeness
Exactly, Its your responsibility to take care of your own body.
can i have your body please?
Just like is people who have children its their place to raise them not Rihanna.
Lovebird, Why are so pressed? Its like you’re obsessed with her. 🙂
Can I be your Monica Lewinsky?
@Hadley
Actually beyonces french ancestry is royalty and related to the French Royalty…
Blue Ivy is a distant cousin to the Royalty baby
I know. That’s what Im saying.
And Cleopatra was my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother. 🙄
Could be true. Except its official with Beyonce.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO French ancestry my motherfucking asshair! GTFO for life b****. More like French Guyana. Giving me s**** trade realness
Its true. Google is your friend.
She is decent of Joseph Broussard on her maternal side which is believable. Theres no way there isn’t a mix in her maternal bloodline. You gonna tell me she isn’t? What are your receipts?
descendant*
Who cares!!! They were still creole s**** n******!!!
Why is it so laughable she has French ancestry?
Beyonce is a s***** flop person imo i loved her before 4
She thinks shes better than people
How do you know what she thinks?
i live inside her brain 🙂
Lol you wish you did.
I agree with her totally. You know have impact when everything you do gets blown out of proportion and over analyzed.
Lovebird secretly stans for beyonce. He’s always blubbering and commenting in every beyonce post ugh
I never said I didn’t like her. I just don’t like how fabulous her life is! Shes so, ugh, I hate her. *Storms out crying uncontrollably!
Don’t let her fool you to the depths of hell, She doesn’t care about anyone. only the evil dollar.
Not when you cant even spell Jesus properly.
gurlbye. BeYAWNce has gotten so many free passes with s*** like this that others would have been ridiculed for. She can fool some but slowly the general public has seen past her foolishness and fuckery. BTW where is her 6th lead single from her as yet untitled 5th album?
@Kim Kardashian
I really like kim too 🙂
F*** outta here
Beyonce, everyone knows this already only pressed republicans and people who have an issue with you will harp on it when there a farrr more important and disastrous things they should put their time and effort into. All these people preaching about what Beyonce is doing what have YOU done to help control the obesity issue?
But Beyonce and her daddy were very staunch republicans. She only supports Obama for image. Even Oprah stopped supporting that idiot.
I don’t care what Beyonce was/is. My point is still true.
What have we done? We weren’t paid $50 million to use our stringy lace front to sell diabetes to children thru PEPSI. And don’t even try to act like children and adults that drink 2 and 3 sodas a day aren’t addicted out of habits perpetuated by f****** PEPSI and others. gurlbye. BeYAWNce might as well be endorsing Marlboro because cigarettes alone don’t cause cancer, but they sure help. Same with PEPSI, it doesn’t’ cause diabetes and obesity, but it sure helps. BeYAWNce: queen of diabetes! Serving amputated foot realness!!!!!!
Still didnt andwer my question. You can still do something you care so much. The exaggeration is real. Show me numbers that obesity and diabetes has increased since Beyonce has been the face of pepsi and i might take your opinion seriously. Until then you can sit with that over dramatic mess. I guess its not an issue that MJ and britney also promoted it aswell though?
Let em know bey why the Ciara Rihanna & Mariah fans mad? Cant handle seeing the Queen get attention bey is one of the best there is
Stay in school b****
She’s an amazing role model im 16 i look up to her so much shes my idol
Trust me, honey. We know yer 16. Probably 14. How’s summer school?
No surprise there , just look at your grammar.
She so damn fake man
You pressed because blue is royalty f*** off. You’re related to Cleopatra 🙂 now go away
Ppl over analyze the s*** outta this woman. For her to be so dumb, washed up, a flop, a thief, and whatever else yall come up with…she is sure as hell being watched. I mean this woman takes a trip and the NATIONAL news covers it. She falls on stage, and CNN is talking about it. She releases a snippet, and the who world is in an uproar. Thats POWER
But on topic… balance is extremely important. I would hope everyone feels that way. Too much of anything (including water and especially gatorade) can be bad for you.
Beyonce’s sole purpose in the Move Ya Body campaign was to promote that excercise can be fun.
Beyonce is a pop star not the poster child for healthy eating just because she did one work out for with Michelle Obama which as @Bey fan said was just to show exercise can be fun. Do you seriously think her being face of pepsi is going to change anything anyway? Yet at the same time you’ll be the first to say she has no pulling power. People need to sit. Like really.
I see too many pressed souls on this thread though..
.
Get Money Beyonce.
She is so stupid , She probably didn’t even understand. How do you go from promoting being healthy to something that Michelle is obviously against? , Beyawnce just saw the $$$$$ and signed her contract.
She didn’t sign no contract to just promote salad after Obama. She wasn’t even promoting eating, it was exercise. I consider myself healthy and still drink a pepsi now and then? Am I a hypocrite? People need to stop reaching. All this comes down to is peoples reliance and expectation on celeb culture getting out of hand. And its the people that don’t even like her smh.
You can promote budweiser, doesn’t mean you’re responsible for someone’s drunk driving. So Bey can promote Pepsi, doesn’t mean she’s responsible for your fat ass drinking it 8 times a day like water.
FRAUD!!!
Lovebird is responsible for about 70%of these comments..
If Beyonce is fat, I’d love to see the ugly faces of those saying that…Im betting she looks better than you haters…
I mean the delusions and foolishness of the navy is beyond comprehension..
She gave a logical explanation and people are talking s***.
I swear some of you are more obsessed with this woman than her stans.
Balance is key..soda is gross!(my opinion)
Everything we consume is potentially harmful if not used in moderation..duh
Shut the f*** up
Fake b****
She wouldnt be nothing if her daddy didnt pimp the f*** out of her
These comments though LMFAOOOoooooooooooooooooooo
HUNTY this fat humburger helper ass b**** don’t know nothing about no exercise! The only thing she know is the dollar bill! B**** you can lie to your salty ass fans but we the public know your ass have a cold pack of pepsi waiting next to popeyes chicken in your fridge FAT B****!
Preach
Childish.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgA8JCTzJRw
FAT B****! Who does she think she fooling? YOu illiterate fat b**** could give MAN VS FOOD competition and shut down shop! Ol bopping for fried chicken ass b****!
She said it just right.
I’m addicted to Coca Cola, it’s in our metabolism, if you tend to get fat then be careful with what you eat or drink, some of us can eat and drink all day without gaining a kilo, you don’t need a celebrity to tell you what to eat or drink, don’t blame her for your obese genes 🙂
It must be safe to assume that all these people jumping down Beyonce’s throat for endorsing this product must feel the same way about all our favs of the past that had the deal as well right?
MJ
Janet
Britney
Pink
Mariah Carey
Nicki Minaj
Jennifer Lopez
Madonna
Elton John
Taylor Swift
Shakira
Are all these people on the s*** list too?
…right, didn’t think so!
Yet again THE QUEEN got these Dirty Peasants seeeeeeething. U stupid b****** don’t give a damn about what Michelle says, so why the hell are u here? Acting all “oh Didn’t she promote healthy eating with Michelle”? Bitchesssss please. Save it it no life miserable c*nts. Worry about Citranny new album flopping. Worry about why R**** tour is flopping. Worry about why Mooriah album have been shelved bwahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
Please research the ingredients on coke and pepsi and make informed decisions as consumers on what you want to put into your body – be your own role model!
When money is involved morals and ethics are often times set aside!
Look at this b**** @ I Am Above U…..The only Fat b**** is u. H** why don’t ur fat ass go and bath. And try to get those maggots out ur fat rolls b****. KING B puts EVERY t***** looking woman n ur Family tree to shame. And b****,m I bet u wished u had some chicken lmao. Broke Rihtarted B****.
Who gives a hoot the real T is that she decided to have a Endorsed deal with Pepsi because the Company Brand way huge then her Music Career. She decided to take out a 50 Million dolar deal for her music to be promoted on are screen’s for a anticipated Album where no one is caring for and 7 leaked Released songs from her Album been out and no one is giving life to it.
Why you think her copy ass is on tour just in order to keep that deal going and pay back the dues and be relevant. Which her album is so not due for 2013 but 2014 and honestly her time running out.
J.Lo knows way more about making a deal and being a Buisness woman to promote quality stuff for your music to be releavant. At this moment no one has been giving her life for 2013 it all about Ciara and her album she has made a Comeback and the BeyHives need to sit the f*** down.
B*******!
She is not responsible for people and their dietary lifestyle. That is all.
Why is that people always have a problem when bey does something but when someome else does it they get a free pass? Foh. You people don’t have nothing negative to say about this woman so you just make up anything to make yourself feel better. Smh
Its exactly that. Because she is Beyonce. Like I always say and like I have seen on here before, when Beyonce naysayers stop caring that will be the worrying time. You will know she is truly irrelevant.
YAWN I cant even be bothered to go into one on this one all I can say is she stated the obvious and lead your own f****** lives and stop living through celebs and putting responsibilities on them its ridiculous. Stop to think would my blood pressure be boiled so much if it wasn’t about Beyonce? No probably not.
