Ubiquitous might be the best word to describe Beyonce‘s Beyhive.

Born and bred on internet forums to defend the star against critics following LeToya and LaTavia’s brand-threatening departure from Destiny’s Child, the group now stands as one of the first fan bases to use social media to push, promote and defend their favourite artist.

However, there now seems to be a twist in their digital tale.

How and why?

After Beyonce surprised the world on Sunday (February 11) with the announcement of a Country-tinged album titled ‘Act II,’ she could barely blink before the project’s first two songs – ‘16 Carriages‘ and ‘Texas Hold ‘Em‘ – were found holding the top spots on real-time sales charts.

And while many-a-critic and loyal fan (also known as the #Beyhive) are singing the chart-topping diva’s praises, there’s one who isn’t exactly sold on the musical transition: rapper Azealia Banks.

Scribbled in history books for some good and not-so-good reasons, 2016 brought with it some of modern music’s most memorable moments.

As the year draws to a close, TGJ is reflecting on 31 moments that rocked – and to some degree shaped – the Urban and Pop musical landscape as we know it.

Tuck in below to reflect on the year we’re sure rapper Azealia Banks wants to forget soon:

Earlier this year Azealia Banks vowed to take a permanent hiatus from Twitter.  However, as our good sis Jazmine Sullivan once wailed, ‘forever don’t last long.’

For, in a move to redirect #Beyhive stings from the mysterious Beckies of the world to herself, Banks took to Twitter to rant about Beyonce‘s hotly-selling new project ‘Lemonade.’  Accusing the songstress of being ‘anti-feminist’ and even plagiarizing some of the album’s critically acclaimed content, Banks is reaching for wig glue after questioning the validity of some of ‘Lemonade’s insinuations (namely those surrounding Jay Z‘s alleged infidelity).

Do you agree with her rant?  Or, is it just ole AB looking to cash in on some media shine?  You tell us:

It looks like Azealia Banks isn’t the only rapstress in trouble for sharing her opinion on some aspect of Beyonce‘s sixth album ‘Lemonade.’

Once dodging Twitter attack for “cultural misappropriation” and referring to herself as a “runaway slave master,” Aussie rapstress Iggy Azalea is now finding herself on the opposite end of the heated “racism” argument – now pointing the finger at terms she deems racially offensive.  Joining the conversation as the #Beyhive continue their search to pinpoint the “Becky” referred to in Bey’s controversial tune, ‘Sorry,’ Iggy Iggz weighed in on the term’s usage all together.  After she asserted its offensiveness, the #Beyhive weighed in to give her…well…even more reasons to be offended.

It’s safe to say, like arch nemesis Banks, Iggy should’ve kept her word when she promised to leave Twitter:
