Beyonce may be on a break of sorts, but 2019 still managed to be an action-packed year for music’s reigning Queen.

And, as she closed out that chapter, she made sure to celebrate the long list of moments that made it so memorable.

In a fun-filled video recap, Bey highlighted key scenes from her professional endeavours (such as ‘Homecoming’ and ‘The Lion King’), as well as previously unseen shots of her family. The latter included the birthday of two-year-old twins Rumi and Sir Carter, as well as Blue Ivy‘s 7th year festivities.

Since then, she has risen to become one of Pop culture’s brightest figures….soaring to epic heights on the wings of genre-blending albums, breathtaking visuals and game changing brand partnerships.

Only right then, after almost two decades at the top, that the performer should take a well-deserved break.

Alas, her fans feel differently and have taken to social media to demand new music from the ‘Music of the Sun’ singer.

It’s been nearly two months since rapper T.I. first made headlines with the announcement he accompanies his teenage daughter, Deyjah, to doctor’s appointments to ensure her hymen is ‘still intact’ (click here to read more), but commentary around the report rages on.

Despite taking to Jada Pinkett-Smith‘s ‘Red Table Talk’ to clarify his statements (and also be educated on the insensitivity of the subject matter), the Grammy winner is still on the receiving end of harsh criticism about the topic from commenters who claim he’s ‘policing his daughter’s body’ and practicing sexism and male chauvinism for not employing the same sexual monitoring on his sons.
