“You know that b**ch when you cause all of this conversation”
Those were the words sung by Beyonce on Billboard smash ‘Formation’ earlier this year – and oh do they continue to ring true.
As reported, some corners of the Country music community were none-too-impressed with the star’s involvement in last night’s CMAs in Nashville. Indeed, said pocket of people branded her a “police hater” and threatened to boycott the show.
Well, the performance went ahead – and was loved by the masses. However, the controversy continues.
Full story below…
In a bizarre move, all mentions of the singer and her performance of ‘Daddy Lessons’ with the Dixie Chicks have been removed from the CMA social pages.
Exhibit A
The action is being critiqued by many who observed ample mention of Queen Bey by the same pages in the run-up to her performance and after.
So Bey really has folk that hot and bothered?! Kudos to her!
She destroying her brand before our eyes.
Nope she isn’t….those people already hated her anyways, especially after 2016 superbowl. Funny enough, she just sold out NISSA STADIUM in nashville in october, which a lot of country stars attended, so she still has fans there.
Destroying what brand ? The ones her fans helped build not those racist WHITE conservatives
That’s Nicki Garbaj destroying her own brand for still being Meek L’s girlfriend
Sad but true. She wasting ha brand in a non worthy swifty world the has-been country s***
Beyonce is crossing over another cross over. Only Beyonce loves to compete and do a better Beyonce. Why not continue to challenge and break barriers. Long Live Beyonce
Wrong b****, only you haters think that. The Queen was praised throughout,…

I don’t use Beyonce but these racists are so petty its hilarious. She performed, the crowd loved her, get over it. Petty Betties. smh
I don’t think they removed her because of the “police boycott” the country artist probably just don’t want their night to be all about a featured performance.
The performance slayed and every media outlet is talking about it so they can stay mad about it. Btw she looked so good last night
Exactly..its the only thing worth talking about from that entire show..LMAO. I LOVE WHEN SHE GETS THE MAD, IT MAKES ME SMILE.
Sameeee!!! The racists are coming out in full force Iol
Basic white people and their white tears cannot stand Black excellence.
She’s not destroying her brand before anyone… she’s just showing how ignorant ( racist ) white folk really are..?
That makes sense. Every ceremony she graces becomes The Beyonce Show. She easily overshadows everyone else and they probably wanted to keep their core artists and audience happy. Nevertheless, #StayMad
What’s interesting is how Beyoncé who has very little as an artist or person has to say, but no matter what can still be the topic of convo it’s flattering to be quite honest. Her performance was only 6 minutes & actually good & caused uproar lmaoooo
Who cares?
Ciara could never, and you are seeeeeeeeeeething. Stay mad, sis.
Beyonce is one of the sole reasons I still feel pride for black musicians in today’s industry, she slays every player effortlessly, looking like a goddess all the while, her debut at the CMA’a last night proves she is multifaceted force to be reckoned with. Why shouldn’t she perform? She’s a southern country girl, she most definitely qualifies. These closet Nazi/Trump lovers can’t stand a darker shade killing it at their own a game – a game we need not reminding came from African Americans originally during the days we’d rather forget. Yasss Bey! Kill em
Just like many things white people forgetting that Black people started Country music so I don’t know why they think their redneck asses own it
You better speak that history.
that try hard song SUCKS
and meanwhile top 20 on ITunes !!!!
Top 20 lol
My my my
Beyoncé keeps everyone pressed they cannot stand to see a Black woman dominating like this!
Rih also performed there in 2011 and slayed with Jennifer Nettles and the crowd was hype! Just like for Bey lastnight
They must’ve seen the ratings
Lol.
This was the highest rated CMA show in years. Congratulations you just played yourself
F*** the XMAS. They ASK her to perform she agrees. Shows up and steals the show. GETS attacked by racist bigots and instead of them taking a stand against such racism they deleye all mention of her? Ungrateful considering she gave them their highest ratings in 50 years!!!
*CMAs *delete
I read that hardly any country artist performed at the CMA’ s last year. So why was it an issue when Beyonce decided to take the stage ?? I’ll stop here. Might hurt a few white people’s feelings if I go any further #BlackLivesMatter
Pairing Beyoncé with the Dixie Chicks?! So brilliant. The ultimate FU to the nation’s country lovin’ deploreables. Proof that the chicks still aren’t ready to make nice and that no matter how compelling the talent is on stage, country music fans are the worst.
LOL GOOD FOR THAT OPPORTUNISTIC S****, KOOLAID SALES ARE STILL IN THE TOILET COMPARED TO TAYLOR AND ADELE LMAO.
Wow…u called a black woman S****…….ARE U A TRUMP SUPPORTER OR JUST A LADY GAGME FAN OR BOTH???
Are u a part of the Klan?
Aren’t you supposed to be celebrating Joanna Joe not plummeting in the US and becoming a local country artist? Funny how you didn’t even show up to the last few Lad Gag articles yet here you are.
No surprise here. Fadga and BrittleKnee stans are the worst! They’re always using racial slurs to come for Beyonce.
I just looked at the CMT twitter account and they just post something about her back they are feeling the heat already..LMAO https://twitter.com/CMT/status/794277667096952847
Doing that just creates more buzz and more will want to see it.
Beyoncé just be setting tongues wagging all over the place and exposing the baffoons for what they are.
Product vs Promotion? No bish this is product and promotion ?
None of the white performers who weren’t country got this much backlash. Besides from people complaining about not wanting a non country artist performing after their performances people got over it. Yet here you have Beyonce a branded cop hater (which she has never shown herself to be)who stands for a cause SHE believes in being bashed to death even after delivering a great performance with the Dixie Chicks who are country veterans and whom covered her song all summer on tour. Nothing about her performance was disrespectful yet all this outrage still, I wonder why.Smh.This country is in a very negative space when it comes to race relations and moments like this and the superbowl and all this other mess is really showing how far we HAVEN’T come when it comes to racism in America.
Exactly…JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, MEGHAN TRIANOR, ARIANA GRANDE all performed there and even did pop songs (all about that bass, drink you away e.t.c) and they did not get this much backlash. BUT NOTICE HOW ALL OF THE PEOPLE ARE MENTIONED ARE WHITE…………INTERESTING!!!!!
Interesting indeed.Whats even more interesting is when you point it out you get accused of being anti-cop and having a racist agenda lol funny how people try and reflect their truth onto others.
That Beyoncé impact is too powerful for basic white people and their white tears.
Not surprised Betty-Sue & Agnes are still in they feelings after Bey diagnosed them alopecia last night. Went all over the CMA website to spread hate. Edgeless & toothless heaux! Anyway, I’m sure the redneck community is scolding tf out of them. Let ’em stay mad tho.
??? Betty-Sue & Agnes kiii
Give Daddy Lessons that promo
The performance was great, but honestly who cares what those folk think. Beyonce did what she came to do and that was show up and slay.
Beyonce….i bet she new this was going to happen tho. She just did not give a fuckkkkk..LMAO
Some things will NEVER change – tupac shakur
LMAO…..NOW THEY ARE GETTING DRAGGED. FORMATION IS REALLY IMPACTFUL AND SHOOK THESE WHITE INBREDS TO THE CORE.
If your fave is a black artist then no one should be talking. It’s crazy how all these white artist can take country music away from black artist, take R&B, and Hip Hop music but Beyoncé gets backlash for going to the CMA awards. If your fave isn’t Beyoncé but is a black artist, then you are obviously okay with your fave being put into a box
Reminds me of how black artist weren’t allowed to attend white award shows back in the day. This is why we need to start supporting our OWN s***
She is also back on CMA instagram now….the posted about the official version released after the performance….https://www.instagram.com/p/BMXGzAAhRd_/?taken-by=cma
They knew they were in the wrong

LEMONADE INSPIRING LEGENDS…..http://extratv.com/2016/11/03/how-beyonce-lemonade-inspired-bon-jovis-new-album/
So funny how Billy Bob and Sallie Joe are showing their asses over this. They were trying to come for Bey last night on Twitter but then would follow it up saying she can’t do country because she doesn’t have the same amount of talent as Justin Timberlake’s mediocre ass. So transparent ? The tears were so real last night.
They can stay mad, toothless, and addicted to meth, especially if (when) Trump loses.
LMAO….I LOVE YOU. DRAG A BIT!!!!!!!!!
JT is the most overrated ass men I’ve known besides Elvis.
LMFAOOOO!!! They’re mad as hell! Beyonce isn’t bothered lemonslayed is about to get a bump in sales and maintain it for some time ???!!! I love her! She knows exactly what she is doing!
THE BEYHIVE IS PETTY… LMAO……THE CMA JUST POSTED THIS https://twitter.com/CountryMusic/status/794294499136577536
LMAO and they’re being dragged to the depths of HELL!!!
I don’t see the big deal. I didn’t know music came in color? Beyoncé and the Dixie Chicks did an amazing job last night and thats all that should matter. Why are some country people acting like Beyoncé is the first black person to sing country music? The woman is from Texas, a very country state. Also both Shania Twain and Dolly Parton have had sexual images and no one in the country industry stirred a fuss. Further more no one jumped down Taylor Swifts throat when she crossed over to Pop, just like no one jumped down Nick Jonas and Christina Aguilera’s throat when they performed last year at the CMA. So again what is the issue?
THE BEYHIVE IS PETTY… LMAO……THE CMA JUST POSTED THIS https://twitter.com/CountryMusic/status/794294499136577536
For those who think Beyoncé killed the show, well she did literally… the show had the lowest rating in the history of CMAS (50 years worth)
SERVED
Cop hater
The true racist
Dude, last year;s show was the lowest in history with 13 million viewers and this year it had 12.6 million viewers……KEEP IN MIND, LAST YEAR;S SHOW DID NOT TAKE PLACE AT THE SAME TIME AS THE WORLD SERIES….WHICH HAD OVER 34 MILLION VIEWERS (MORE THAN THE 2016 AND 2015 OSCARS VIEWERSHIP). So there was no way the show was going to have huge ratings…..I THINK BEY EVEN MADE MORE PEOPLE AWARE OF THE SHOW, AND MOST JUST WATCHED TO SEE HER AND THEN LEFT. SO COME AGAIN SIS…AND STOP HATING.
Can u pls explain how Beyonce is a cop hater????? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW…
Oh STFU! The CMA’S was already expected to take a dip in viewers no matter what!
.
http://www.thewrap.com/cma-awards-50th-annual-world-series-abc-tv-ratings/
It was on against the biggest and most watched World Series game this century.
And ratings still skyrocketed during the five minutes Beyoncé was on. Poor that.
True killed it literally….she dnt kno what lane she wanna be in….but losing in all lanes…
This kind of outright racism is unpardonable! It’s 2016, you’d think there would be more humanitarians in the world (especially after so many years of racial tension due to heinous acts of hate in a history we’re all too familiar with)! We’ve seem to be slowly regressing back to a time we’re people didn’t practice having any tolerance! This ‘Lemonade’ era (more than any other era) is just making me completely over all the bigotry, media slander, media bias, commercial manipulation, downplaying/devaluing of certain artists/genres and politics in the music industry! It’s so real! This decade is controlled and yet, unevenly stacked against certain artists that have to continually defy all the odds! I’m so here for Bey’s nerve this era! It feels like she’s finishing what some legends (that opened up so many doors and paved the way for her) started! I’m not sure people are realizing it! beyonce’s certainly her own entity, but I feel she compliments/pays tribute to a past in a traditional way that makes you proud! I’m just glad someone like her exist right now! People can stay mad that B’s celebrating her Jackson nostrils with no qualms! Bey’s stepping into circles where she’s not necessarily welcomed and saying I belong here, deal! Bey’s just giving me goosebumps this year and I couldn’t be more in love with her! Seriously, it’s on 15, it was on 10 for as long as I can remember! Btw, Bey looked flawless at the CMAS and her mere presence was so dominating! If things are getting uncomfortable, it’s only because there’s a pink elephant in the room!
So many idiots on line….defend a billionaire harder than u defend ur own children who face the real racism everyday. So pathetic
What is so funny to me is that AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE STARTED COUNTRY MUSIC and not whites.
We should give all them haters a cape. They can be SUPER MAD!
NO.F****.GIVEN
The Cma hit they lowest ratings…….dnt let the fans lie to yll everybody boycotting to watch world series..
Let’s be real – Beyoncé was the only SUPERSTAR performing at the CMAs last night! They need viewers and she can draw them in!
It’s so sickening that people still hate people because they have darker skin. EVERYONE IS HUMAN! We all have the same organs underneath! It’s not what’s on the outside that counts ?
Wow they all did a nice job
She requested that the CMA’s remove it. She starts her own drama for Album sales and to stay getting mentioned. It’s genius. Then she doesn’t do interviews or respond to the dumb ass fans at all. This generation seems so easy to manipulate.
Oh f*** those White racist rednecks, she sold out a STADIUM in the same city, which a LOT of White people paid for and attended.
