bey-protest-1

Do not cross Beyonce‘s BeyHive.

It’s a lesson many have learnt over the years, yet it’s one that was re-affirmed today.

Remember that protest we reported about; that was set to take place in the wake of the singer’s politically-charged performance of ‘Formation’ at the Super Bowl?

Well, that was today outside NFL headquarters in New York City.

Surprisingly, the organizers of the event didn’t show up (or were perhaps too cowardly to identify themselves.)

Instead scores of Queen Bey supporters turned up and made their voices heard.

Gwen Stefani is renown for taking risks, hence it was fitting that she embraced her daring nature during the 2016 Grammy Awards tonight.

No Doubt‘s front-woman teamed with Target to shoot a live music video for new single ‘Make Me Like You’ – which aired real-time between a commercial break.

Despite all the variables that could have gone awry, Stefani pulled it off without a hitch, proving that – after 20 + years in the business, she can still push the envelope in innovative ways.

It’s a point which in itself is a great coup for the singer ahead of the release of her third solo album ‘This Is What The Truth Feels Like’ (due March 18th via Interscope).

Watch after the jump…

Being no stranger to penning a hit or two for some of music’s biggest stars (see:  Celine Dion, Rihanna, and more), it’s a no brainer that Ne-Yo would be the “go-to” guy for his opinion on the still much talked about happenings at ‘Super Bowl 50,’ which featured two of today’s biggest divas – Beyonce and Lady Gaga.

Taking to HuffPostLive to discuss the former, who is still embroiled in a world of controversy for her “racially charged”/polarizing performance, the R&B beau shared his thoughts on the matter while also reflecting on their 2006 megahit ‘Irreplaceable.’  Also, as he is set to perform the national anthem at the 2016 NBA All-Star game tomorrow night, the singer-songwriter weighed in on Lady Gaga‘s rendition of the historic number at the ‘Super Bowl.’

Always one to ‘keep it real,’ hear Ne-Yo thoughts on these topics and more in his own words below:
