It's wrong to call or reference a black person as an ape/monkey because of it's historical connotations, but honestly context matters in 2016. Cause so many people aren't even THINKING in that direction anymore. If we're going to beat racism, we have to be smarter than pointing fingers over petty offenses and focus on the actual issues.
He clearly worked on Lemonade (and gave us Beyonce's best song "All Night", bless!) so he definitely means no disrespect to Bey. The obvious answer is that he's mashing together two of the biggest cultural markers of 2016, Harambe and Beyonce. It's a (low level, non-clever) play on words. But miss me with the racism ********.

Folks defending a dumb white man who just linked a black woman to a gorilla. I've seen it all.
