Rudy Giuliani blasts Beyoncé for being pro-Black during Super Bowl
The pair recently collaborated on Coldplay’s new single Hymn For The Weekend, which features on their album A Head Full of Dreams, and clearly get on well – Chris’s ex Gwyneth Paltrow was left looking after Bey’s daughter Blue Ivy during the Super Bowl performance.
The homage didn’t end there. Her backup dancers were seen in black berets, a trademark accessory for the Black Panthers, which is a “black nationalist organization formed in the 1960s that was largely influenced by Malcolm X – stood behind her in an “X” formation”, according to the report. “Formation” oozes with Black pride and self-love, the song premiering only a day prior but the reception has been nearly overwhelmingly favorable, especially with such a powerful video. “It was important to her to honor the beauty of strong Black women and celebrate the unity that fuels their power”, Senofonte said.
Beyonce’s Super Bowl appearance hit a nerve with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who called her Black Panther-inspired performance an “attack on police officers”.
In fact, whilst the National Football League covers expenses and production costs, which were reportedly as high as $600,000 for Beyonce’s set in 2013, the National Football League tried to get artists to PAY to play the Super Bowl themselves, but it didn’t go down well. “We’ll work on that”, he continued.
“The people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive”.
Cedric Betts of Millbrae, California, who saw the performance live at the game, said Beyoncé’s message was clear.
“Formation” is available for streaming and download exclusively on Tidal, with a music video also on YouTube.
King condemned the video, released by the Grammy-winning singer ahead of her world tour and her performance during halftime of Sunday’s Super Bowl. And let us be honest, we all have heard that song a million times by now.
The fans deserve wholesome entertainment: like watching 300-pound men give each other concussions while a crowd cheers like extras in the movie Gladiator.
“In the sweetest way possible: She told me, ‘I really like you – but this is terrible, ‘” Martin recalls of pitching her the track.
