While reading Hilton Al‘s response to Beyonce “Lemonade”, some things I learned was how Beyonce had advocated for women(feminism) rights, such as saying “Beyonce tells some dude to fuck off” to show that she doesn’t need a male to help her in her career. Another example, Beyonce mentioned about a “black female body as a message of self empowerment”, advocating the women to embrace their femininity, and not be self conscious of your body. The confusing parts in the response,” she is telling someone to fuck off,though this time he…. is Jay Z”. I did some research and it mentioned as rumors that spread and caused Beyonce to make two songs against Jay Z and the supposedly infidelity,however, “Ring The Alarm” was not about Rihanna and Jay Z claimed byBeyonce’s editor. Another part that was confusing in the article, ” Beyonce…sister…was caught on camera beating Jay Z’s ass in a hotel elevator”. I was confused what had caused the sister to be aggressive and make it sound like its the male(Jay Z) wrong doings without a reason. But in the end, Beyonce as an individual has been treated indifferently by society and I guess is sick of it? This article is a little biased, when arguing for Beyonce’s perspective. Some parts of the article that I would like to include in my own writing, is to have information that has affected the individual, changing who they are later down in the future.
