When I heard about Bey’s new project, I was shocked. On the one hand, the personally tragic and historically significant story of Baartman deserves to be told. But is a pop star, even a huge one like Beyoncé, the right person to tell it? The response seems to be a resounding “no,” most notably from a South African chief:
"She lacks the basic human dignity to be worthy of writing Sarah’s story, let alone playing the part,”
Omg
And fomos still believe Beyonce is kind of a goddess that everyone respects
I just realised that Beyoncé has won more Grammys alone (20) than Brittany has won VMAs, AMAs, Grammys and BBMAs combined (15). Brittany might be the least respected major pop star of all-time.
