She doesn't have a strong opinion on anything that isn't a popular one.
She gets caught up in feminism while stealing beats from a continent where women routinely get their ****s cut off.

What's spotty about her chart history? She managed to send all her 5 first solo albums to the summit, a feat never achieved by any woman before her. She had success both in group (second most successful female group ever) and solo (less than 15 artists in history ever achieved such a feat).
Her sales? Refer to the above : almost 70 M albums solo in her career including 31 M solo.
Her tours are forgettable yet she sells more concerts DVD than all her contemporaries and all the female singers before her. Her tours get more media coverage than her contemporaries and certified her as the best performer of her generation and maybe the best female performer ever.
Why do popstars need to have strong opinions on things? Which was Whitney's? Barbara's? Mariah's? And Bey's views on feminism made a lot of people mad and furious hence the numerous think-pieces to discredit her opinion but that's not necessary.
The last part makes no sense. First you are ignorant about Africa but that's no surprise. Second, the rest doesn't need to be addressed. Of course, it's predictable that you left out the talent part.
