Beyonce did not come to play, she came to slay. And last night in New Orleans, she had a little help from Bounce queen Big Freedia.

As many will note, the Nola native voices the much loved intro on Bey’s Billboard smash ‘Formation.’

So, it was only fitting that the superstar singer called on Freedia to join her on-stage when her ‘Formation World Tour’ pulled into town.

Brief but sweet, the live rendition was all sorts of diva.
