It’s safe to say that Beyonce‘s brand new pro-Black sound has’t gone unnoticed.
Billed as racist by some while celebrated by others, the singer’s new direction first saw the light of day by way of the cut ‘Formation’ which features a line about the billionaire Bill Gates.
Today he weighs in on her decision to throw his name into her creative mix…and what he said may surprise many.
Find out why below…
Despite the media circus surrounding the cut Gates revealed that he hadn’t heard the song when he was asked about it hours ago.
This was his reaction when he first learned of the song’s lyrics:
I said, ‘Are you serious? This is kind of a strange set of words here. I’m surprised. I guess it’s nice that people consider me successful.
Unfamiliar with Bill’s story?

who cares? Formation is still no where to be found on the charts LMFAOOOOOOOOO FLOOOOOPPPP
But where is Mariah’s relevance?
Mariah has diamond albums. Does Beyonce even have a diamond single?
Yas you betta rush on over and show you stand for the Queen Bey Linda!!! I love your subliminal love for the Queen!! Much love sis ??? Ill keep you low key Bey staning a secret (??) chow!
Beyonce will never have the chart success of Mariah Carey. It won’t happen. Beyonce will NEVER have a “hero”, or a We Belong together or a Always Be my baby. She does NOT have iconic vocals or song writing ability.
Mariah Carey is a song writer.
Beyonce and 26 other writers for one 3 minute song. Beyonce like Jennifer Lopez is a Fraud who dances to hide lack of vocal ability. Beyonce has a good voice, but its squeaky and NOT Iconic.
Mariah/Whitney/Celine/Aretha/Patti = vocal icons.
Janet/Beyonce/Madonna/tina = Legendary performers only
Lmao you reached 1000% with that comment! Not even you or your mama believe what you just wrote ?
And Mariah will NEVER have the high grossing touring success that Beyonce has.
Give props! Or have several seats!
But mariah is still way richer than beyonce with over 200 million dollars …b**** seat !!!
BEYONCE is not an ICON. She DOES not do huge numbers on the charts. It’s TACKY to mention Beyonce with the likes of ARETHA or MARIAH or WHITNEY she’s clearly not in there leavue
True and accurate comment. Beyonce will never have the success that Mariah Carey has. Two diamond albums, eighteen US number ones and millions of albums sold beyonce will never beat these accomplishments.
OMG here we go with the Mariah s*** again!
Stop haters simply stop. These are two successful woman who both do something that the other doesn’t. Beyonce is an entertainer that can SING and DANCE.
Mariah Carey is simply a singer/songwriter that’s not known for tours and dancing but her voice.
They are both A LIST. They are both queens of what they do. One is not better than the other only because they are not in competition. These women are a force and both are still more relevant than the commenters in this section.
*women*
But Beyonce can sell out arenas. Just like it’s difficult to get diamond albums, it’s difficult to sell out arenas.
My dear you sound stuck in the 80’s. On are you haven’t realised ‘selling music’ is no longer a viable career choice.., I’m not even a Hive member but even I can see that Formation was a statement of intent rather than a song made for the charts.., it’s unsingable and alienates her core audience.., that said, the real success of Formation is the impact it had on culture and her tour tkt sales. Trust me, Formation is a win of enormous magnitude.
How many times must you idiots be reminded…IT WAS NEVER RELEASED TO RADIO OR ITUNES!!!
Bey said F*ck that chart ish! She ain’t about that “Singles” life anymore because she knows people will buy her full albums! Bey is smart! For those who don’t have the song yet, you can download it for FREE on Beyoncé.com! Once again it’s FREE on Beyoncé.com. You h*** get free ish and still want to complain and compare. Well news flash, while you’re being miserable in ya miserable lives, Bey is getting paid and taking your income tax money because she Slays! #OkLadiesNowLetsGetInFormation!
Lmao oh Bill stop being so modest! You damn well know you a success story!! ?
Work is at the top of the charts & formation can’t even be found at the bottom.
Again! Doesn’t really matter. Formation hasn’t been released to radio or iTunes. It can be downloaded for Frih on Tidal. Work is a cute lil bop, don’t get me wrong, but Formation is the s***. The Super Bowl is well over a week old, as well as the release since the song and video and yet, its still an INTERNATIONAL topic of discussion.
The delusion is real ..we are now substituting chart success for discussion…. In that case ciara’s “I bet ” was a super hit because till today people are still discussing her shade to future .
You sound so stupid dumb and miserable .
You sound like you need to be Hooked On Phonics. Have a seat!
The Detroit police department said that if Beyonce can have dancers in Black Panther outfits, then next year’s superbowl can have KKK performers. SMH racist America is really showing their true colours.
Mess!!! They need to chile! They already had the confederate flag waved at the super bowl 4x! Now these bitxhes want the KKK to perform!
Why is it always a problem when black people speak up for their race? The Black Panther Party and the KKK are NOT the same. Black people never enslaved people for 400 years and gave slaveowners reparations for ending slavery. We never created a system of segregation to s*** on White people. There IS a difference. If they wanna see a White pride video. Then they can look at virutally any White person’s music video or Triple A-List movie… Look at the oscars… All White. Lol.
Lol they won’t play that KKK ish in Houston. Texas may be republican, but Houston is Democrat. Let them try it at the Super Bowl next year! Lmao #ShutItDown
And CaCa is floating deeper into the sewage looking for relevancy!
Ready for real music. No more stripper anthems Bey.
I didn’t come to play with you h***!
I came to slay b****! #BlackBillGates
When will any of ThotAnnas forgettable #1s have as much impact as a single thats not even charting??? Thats the Real T…..
Sis! Rihanna’s flop ass could never.
LMFAO .. y’all some pressed f****
When has Ciara had any influence on any thing or any one that? The only thing she’s good for is taking pipe raw and being a baby mama and according to Future, Ciara isn’t even a good Mom.
Beyoncé now has 3 albums that spend 100 weeks on Chart, 4 is getting closer to 70 weeks. #LONGEVITYQUEEN. Meanwhile, BEYONCÉ was at #60 this week, on it’s 110th on chart, albums that were released on the same year end (2013), Britney Jean, Artpop, Prism, Pure Heroine are nowhere to be found, despite having more HITS, including no.1. BEYONCÉ is getting closer to that 2.5 million mark, give it time, it will sell more than Born This Way and hopefully another 500k, it will surpass Teenage Dream.
LOL AND YET ADELE OUTSOLD THAT STRIPPER’S WHOLE LIFE WITH ONLY ONE ALBUM LMAO.
she outsold your fave also
Since Beyoncé is rumoured to release two albums this year, she will probably have 7 CONSECUTIVE NUMBER ONES ALBUMS AND WILL SET ANOTHER RECORD. As an ARTIST, Beyoncé currently has 8 NUMBER ONE ALBUMS (2 with DC and 1 for Dreamgirls Soundtrack, but idk why she isnt credited because Listen is a HUGE HIT FROM IT INTERNATIONNALY). Her total album sales is 16 MILLION, another 7-10 million, she will sit with the legends. And that’s an average of 3 million for 3 albums. She will get there, SHE always prove the haters wrong, especially the Navy.
Yas!! If they both go #1 she will become the first artist to have 7 consecutive #1 albums debut at #1 on BB200!! She will also be the first artist’s to have all her albums debut at #1. I think she is currently tied with another for having his first 5 albums debut at #1. She will def break that with B6! Like i said! The Queen don’t tie record’s!! SHE SETS EM!!! YASSS!!!
LOL 16 MILLION IN 12 YEARS? LMAO ADELE SOLD 25 MILLION IN ONE YEAR. AND THAT WAS ONLY HER PREVIOUS ALBUM LMAO #STRUGGLEYONCE
That’s right. As a musician, she had 8! Idk why dreamgirls soundtrack is not count as hers. And If Hymn goes into the top 10, it will be Beyoncé’s 19th top ten in the UK, and guess what it’s her 30th including DC, she’s the QUEEN!
@Hailbeysus
LOL DEATH @ THE BUGS NEST CLINGING TO GROUP SALES BECAUSE STRUGGLEYONCE CAN’T HAVE BLOCKBUSTER SALES ON HER OWN LOL. SHE SHOULD RETITLE FAGNATION AND CALL IT DESPERATION LOL.
man …do any of u folks have lives … jobs? beyonce, mariah, ciara, could give a crap about you and u come here to debate who’s better or more popular. get live people. they couldn’t care less about how much or little you stan for them. craziness.
#BeysImpact is real!! The song was released weeks ago and (racist) people continue to come out to bash it. Get over it!! There is not one line in the song where she is bashing police. However, the visuals in the video are the truth…STOP SHOOTING US!!! Being Pro-Black does not mean you are Anti-White.
This parasitic leach lame creole needs to stop making controversy to try to get into the black communities pockets
Using music to shout shes better shes richer shes yellow bone
That my friends is NOT music she had a chance get lost clown
LOL ALL RIRI HAS TO DO IS DROP A SONG AND IT GOES STRAIGHT TO NUMBER ONE. STRUGGLETHOTYONCE USES A 3 RING CIRCUS AND HER SONG FLOPS FASTER THAN A BROOKE HOGAN SONG LOL. WHAT AN IMPACT LOL.
The bish been hype
They are such decievers
Ugh
Just make music …she didnt
She wants someone in formation behind her illiterate self hating behind
Yall need to wake up and ignore that fool and certainly not give the creole billionaire your money
Shell just take it and continue to talk down to you
Huh? What bish? Whatever
Still looking for formation on the charts
Still looking for anti to reach more than 400k worldwide and don’t even get me started on all the anti cancelled tour dates. U delusional Rihanna stans should be the last ones talking. Y’all won’t even spend more than $1.29 on your fave.
Her kkkamp has put out soooooo much garbage
Let the chickens come home to roost on her creole behind insulting our queens calling them mudd b*** dark b***…we know it was yall as it never happened into the color stduck Knowles rocked up on the scene
This latest attempt of using the black community for her and live nations gain are yall that brainwashed
Its yall money but the love i have for real black people the real black struggle and legacy wont allow me to fund this divisive illiterate lying stealing selfish P**
And i dont care who tells me i should give my money to the elite that own yonce
Black pride happens in the home, on the block not in some darn concert
Wake up kings and queens …jay and bey are weapons if mass destruction funded by the elite that are here to take your money and put you down
F them
“You know u that bish when u cause all this conversation” Only Queen bey can have the whole world still talking about a song that’s not even for sale and a video that u can’t even search on YouTube. Your faves could never and will never. Literally everything beyonce does is a movement.
No that isnt proof of nothing but she is an idiot a d user with no integrity and will do anything to ger people talking
Ita called thirsty
Lol humble Bill Gates doesn’t realize he is successful. I’m inspired!
People will go Ham at any artist
