Brinny Baby

No, tbh. It's just hard to believe someone as flaw-free as Beyonce would marry.....that.

Y'all have to keep in mind that she's doing story telling. Which is based on numerous sources, her parents, women experiences,etc. The album is much more than "Becky" and whatever. She did Single Ladies after she just got married. She makes music relatable to people who can relate. She could still be talking about her ex from years ago as well. She never said it was based on her current relationship.

Why is it that when other artist make personal music they're praised for it but when Beyoncé does it, it's a publicity stunt? Why is the rules always different for her?

the question is....why are people so quick to assume that this more autobiographical than when she was singing songs like Irreplaceable, Single Ladies, Resentment, If I Were A Boy, and many more??? i dont remember people and the media running rampant over those songs than these now??

Making assumptions I see

So gullible. She's been singing these types of songs forever. That would mean her entire career is a stunt. Bravo! Bey has been playing the world for 18 years straight.

Just going off what Mathew himself has said.

People are gonna buy the records regardless. So no.

Exactly. Like WHO is dumb enough to buy an album because they think Jay-Z cheated? That's not a selling point at all.

Could be... but everyone does it anyways. Then if the joint album is coming soon it'll all make sense and

She’s clearly referencing Jay-Z in a lot of it though. But that doesn’t mean it’s a stunt. I don’t think it is since in the beginning it was Rachel Roy who was rumoured to be the issue in the days after Elevator-gate, and she was the first to identify herself as being a Becky, so unless she’s in on it..
Also I read some story about “sources” saying things (yet again). And the argument was that it has to be fake because Jay-Z would not really let her tear him apart like that… but that makes no sense because if their aim is to convince people it’s real, how could he be scared of people thinking it’s real? Conspiracy logic yet again.

There were rumours of him cheating long ago

Yes and they're trash for doing it.
some things shouldn't be used to exploit for a dollar.

You realize 0 people expected her to sing about cheating right? We all were ready just for a political message (which it had) but no one was interested for that reason and do you really think it wouldn't have sold without a cheating storyline?

They bought BEYONCÉ in record numbers without knowing anything.

Just about every single artist has talked about issues in a relationship in their music.

Y'all only scream "PUBLICITY STUNT" when it's Beyoncé. Just accept the fact that she slays!

Billie

I wouldn't be surprised

She and Taylor are the smartest pop girls in the industry right now

I know right!

Rayaine

Yes it is

OnMyCoolJ

It's not her fault ppl have been obsessed with her relationship for 15 years.

PULSE.

But when did Bey say this was a look into her life? You people are just drawing assumptions

Was it a "PUBLICITY STUNT" when Rihanna recorded Rated R? We knew for a FACT it was about Chris. Or is it not consider to be one (PUBLICITY STUNT) because it didn't work out in her favor?

Stay mad.

thegmangrant

No. It's been evident if you listen to the lyrics of 4 and self titled. No one paid attention until now.
