The desperation is real,since the can't question the credibility of the RNR hall of fame,they have to come up with some other angle to try and discredit Bey's achievement.

beyonce is an artist, a singer, a dancer, a song-writter, producer, she has her own company, a model, writter, she's a touring force, an actress who grossed $1 billion at the box office. I think this silly little title doesn't really belong with all the others. The likes like Rihanna can keep that.

Well in a way the author is right: Bey isn't a fashion icon, but she does have iconic looks mostly from her stage outfits or videos. So in that aspect she definitely deserves to have her exhibit.

Effortless clock ,that was damn too easy.

She's flawless and all but I never understood why people say she's a fashion icon I don't even think she dresses that good. Sometimes is really tacky

K. I mean, it's not like they lied, but it's just an irrelevant point.

The Rock n Roll hall of Fame isn't about contributions to fashion though. So the whole point of the article is moot. And Beyoncé inspires the high fashion designers. From Tom Ford to Ricardo Tisci. Many designers have done write ups on her.

Not at retail level.

This. The two things are completely unrelated. If this was a "Legends of Fashion" exhibit, then his article would make sense

She gave that up a long time ago.

I honestly didn't know Bey had a clothing line but just because she released a clothing line doesn't necessarily mean she was looking for presence in the fashion industry.

I mean take Nicki Minaj for example, she has a clothing line but if she wanted to be a fashion icon she wouldn't use k-mart. She just wanted to branch out and extend her brand whilst at the same time giving her fans something affordable.

Let's be real, sis. She has worn that **** on the red carpet before. Other celebs have too. It just wasn't a successful venture... well I'm sure it made plenty of money, but it never blew up as I'm sure her marketing team intended.

I'm not trying to throw shade. I just think that's something that should be mentioned. By all means this article told no lies. It just doesn't ****ing matter. Beyoncé is a business woman. She's making her money. There's nothing that anyone can say about Bey that will effect her career or make people form a negative opinion on her. This article is pointless.
