She's been bigger for many years, this is old tea.
I feel like Beyoncé has more star power in the ghetto and slums, which serves as inspiration for the gay community, hence her seeming to be more impactful than she truly is on ATRL.
But in reality, Rih has always been a bigger star and celebrity figure.
They both get the same amount of craze when they rock up on Red Carpets and stuff. I dont know about surpassed but her stardom has definitely increased the last few years.
