"I am Ike Turner/Baby, know I don't play/Now eat the cake, Anna Mae/Said eat the Cake, Anna Mae." Beyoncé mouths the words behind him, smiling.
For those of you who, unlike me, are not obsessed with Tina Turner and didn't watch the film of her life story – What's Love Got to Do with It – almost 100 times, this line is from that film. Tina Turner, real name Anna Mae Bullock, has just released her own music single and two kids come up to her at a diner asking for her autograph. Not her husband Ike's. Ike is jealous. He tells her to "eat the cake" so they can celebrate her new and independent success. She doesn't want any. He says, "eat the cake, Anna Mae," and when she refuses, he stands up, shoves it in her mouth, and across her face. Her friend and backing vocalist tries to stop him. Ike threatens her, beats her, and she runs away shouting to Tina Turner, "you are dead if you stay with him."
It's the most humiliating scenes in a film that charts the continuous rape and beating by a jealous and violent husband of his wife, a wife who goes on to become one of the biggest music icons, rock 'n' roll icons, female icons, and icons of recovery from domestic abuse of the 20th century.
