And Rihanna stans need to calm down because someday, sooner than later, Rihanna's going to flop too but the only problem with that is that Rihanna's career relies on those hits. Beyonce doesn't need hit singles, or to get back with her abusive ex-boyfriend, to be the most talked about person on the planet.
Serving Little Monster tease. Act like your fav is invincible/untouchable only to have it all blow up in your face eventually. There's alot of anticipation around Bey's new album, unlike 4, so you probably shouldn't be so quick to reduce her to "irrelevant flop" territory.

It's a response to her fans who treat her like she's one of the biggest stars of all time. Even though she's only had two or three global hits and she's never had a huge era. She's always been eclipsed by others throughout her career. Dozens of contemporary women have sold more albums than her worldwide.

If they would just accept her for what she is, a glorified third tier pop/R&B girl, we would not have to drag her so much.
