How did Beyonce avoid backlash after she wore this?

Jay Z has a black and white logo just like that.I think its from one of his music videos maybe Otis.

Beyonce openly worships lucifer, but her god fearing Christian fans will dismiss all the evidence. They don’t realize they’re in denial/ under a spell. Why would they care about this?

Remember when we used to make fun of CACs and their love for Rock/Heavy Metal, since most of the artists openly worshipped satan?

Now our black artists are openly doing it, but people will make all kinds of excuses and call you crazy. Even this post will be called delusional even though the evidence is right in front of your face!

The culture let's the Carters slide on alot of shyt. How's those crypto classes going?

there was some controversy online at the time but as someone noted this was before social media is what it is now

 

[old pig]

did some digging around bcuz I definitely remember there being some controversy…ppl got on the designer via twitter and FB…the designer gave the same excuse used in these instances about “not knowing” “inspired by something else”



I’m dead ass looking at the FB page but it doesn’t seem to show up when I post it…here’s the apology copied/pasted if anyone cares…

On February 16th, I woke up elated to see online that Beyonce had worn one of my trench coats to the All-Stars Basketball Game. The joy became bittersweet however, when I started receiving tweets and posts saying that the coat was a painting of Sambo. As people laid images of the coat next to Sambo to show likeness, I have to acknowledge, that I too was able to see the similarities. I am aware of the role that image has played in our racist history. This image has been used as a tool to justify the dehumanization and discrimination that African Americans have faced and continue to face in our country. As an artist whose work is about love and joy, I am heartbroken that my work triggered and raised pain for anyone and for this I am truly sorry. I also have to share the actual inspiration for this coat. If you look at the history of my work, it is clear that clowns and cartoon characters have been major themes for the last two decades. The trench coat collection is actually called “The Happy Collection” and my intention is to make whoever wears the coat feel joyful. I used Bozo the Clown as the inspiration for the coat that Beyonce wore because I simply love his smiley face. While this is the image that I drew from, I acknowledge that it has been interpreted differently and again apologize for the pain it caused.

Because we all know she’s an idiot

Not enough people talk about this

You watch her old interviews, shes literally stupid

Lowkey, as a Bey fan, this is the answer.

I was literally in shock when I saw that shyt. I heard rumors, but that kinda solidified it for me. That’s also why she stopped giving interviews for a minute, too. Interviewers were low-key calling her stupid or you could see how difficult unscripted interviews were for her.

She is a FANTASTIC entertainer and needs to remain in that realm at all times.

Because she's on the 'correct side' of the political spectrum, so she won't get as much scrunity as a Kanye. This the same woman that says she's jealous she wasn't born a Latina.

Beyonce: "I'm Just Jealous That I Wasn't Born Latina"

Ring the alarm! Buttastic Beyonce -- who is up for "Female Artist of the Year" at the VMAs -- tells Latina Magazine, "I'm just jealous that I wasn't born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful." If Beyonce is going to attempt to voice an original thought, perhaps she...

How did OP avoid backlash after he wore this -

Breh, imagine waking up and walking into your living room and seeing them 3 nikkas standing there like “it’s time to fulfill your destiny TJ. Only you can save the galaxy”

Because it's not blackface.

The jacket is green, not black or even brown.

The second screenshot is from her film Black is King. shyt references a bunch of different African cultures and traditions

In Africa, at least at one point, cows were a symbol of motherhood, bounty, and fertility, while bulls were associated with patience and protection.

And in ancient Egypt they worshipped Hathor a goddess of the sky, womanhood, fertility, and love...she was typically depicted with bull horns on her head

Explain her throwing up the devil horns then?

Same reason she doesn't get backlash for wearing blond wigs and trying to look white. Black women hypocrisy.

Mary J Blige been wearing blond straight hair her entire 25+ year and no one questions it

Bey at least will change it up to brown...wear braids and whatnot...not to mention it doesn't take a lot for her to look "other" looking at her teen, childhood photos. Look at her mother

I always thought it was Texas thing. I've seen folks from there doing that in videos, on IG, etc.
