She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, there is definitely a theatrical element to country music, and she can say authoritatively say that there is nothing country about Beyoncé’s album.
Banks added that the singer is clearly setting herself up to be ridiculed with her latest project.
Her words, “Ugh Bianca girl I love you down but them r&b runs over the leslie feist back beats is giving pickmesha.
Nothing country about it. You’re seeing yourself up to be ridiculed again. There’s a theatrical element to country music !!!
Them critics are not just going to accept an ugly blond wig and, bullying from jay-z !!! It’s giving big-time musical grift. Yes, black girls can make country music… but you’re just really not hitting the button.
Beyoncé please stop the madness. The gay-baiting, the overtly narcissistic attempts to lazily encroach into a genre *you think* your popularity is gonna gain accolades for you in… You’re looking like food sis. You will gag when k Michelle tears it.”
WOW.
