Beyonce: A Tabernacle of LIES
Her Many LIES
By Samod Biobaku
For a very long time, I have kept silent over the
personality and controversies surrounding popular singer, Beyonce Knowles.
I know for a fact that she is deeply loved not just by
Americans who have come to adore her but by Nigerians, Europeans, Asians and so
many other Africans who regard her as one of the best things to ever happen to
music internationally.
I do not have a problem with this but what I have a problem
with is the avalanche of lies that have been told either directly or indirectly
by this multi-award winning singer.
If you’re a fan of Beyonce, I urge you not to be broken
hearted after reading this article. Rather, take a seat, grab a cocktail, glass
of milk, Cola Cola, juice or whatever drink you have a preference for and
follow me into subsequent paragraphs.
In case you didn’t know, besides the crown she wears as one
of the most celebrated singers alive today, Beyonce also takes the crown as the
most dishonest singer alive today.
I came across a ‘Judiciaryreport’ and details of the
singer’s lies were indeed overwhelming.
It is on record that Beyonce once claimed she was a virgin
and that her husband Jay-Z, was her first sexual experience.
However, her ex-boyfriend, who she spoke of at the beginning
of her career, Lyndell, attempted to clear up a persistent rumor regarding her
having an abortion when she got a record deal, as it would interfere with her
career.
When asked if he'd previously had sex with Beyonce, Lyndell
replied, “No comment.” What kind of answer is that? If one didn’t have sex with
the person in question, one would simply say no. The phrase "no
comment" indicates not wanting to tell the truth, as it will be
incriminating or embarrassing for someone. His answer of “no comment” indicates
they had a sexual relationship. However, he stated he was not aware of any pregnancy
or abortion resulting from it.
Beyonce’s Other Lies:
She lied stating members of her former band Destinys Child quit
the group. The truth later surfaced they were kicked out by greedy, money
grubbing, Beyonce and her dad, Matthew Knowles, replaced without notice.
She lied stating President Barack Obama's inauguration was the
first she performed at, when she previously performed at George W. Bush's
inaugural.
She lied stating she doesn't drink, yet is frequently pictured
drinking wine and champagne.
She lied stating she went to private school, when Media Take
Out and records reveal she went to public school.
She lied stating she is 28-years-old, when state records reveal
she is 35 years of age. Her friend Gabrielle Union and Media Take Out outed her
on this subject.
She lied stating she writes her own music – when copyright certificates
and registrations reveal she steals copyrights that were already registered to
others and later reregistered them as her own, simply changing song titles and
a word or two in the lyrics.
She lied stating she wrote the song “Crazy In Love” and came
up with the music sample used on the track, forcing the song’s producer to out
her to MTV for telling untruths, as he wrote the song and found the sample.
Additional Facts on
BEYONCE’s lies
I recently stumbled on an article on ‘theprophetblog’ titled
‘Beyonce’s ‘I am… World Tour’ Lies exposed’ (written in 2010) and for the sake
of writing style, I’m going to present it as I found it. It read thus:
“Beyonce’s always
been known as one of the most dishonest singers in the music biz, and even
today, almost 15 years into her career, her lies continue like clockwork.
Beyonce’s latest
batch of bullshit comes from her recent ‘I Am… World Tour’ DVD and it’s
accompanying television special. The superstar officially called the DVD her
“directorial debut”, with official press releases solely naming her as
producer, editor and director. She told Extra that it took her nine months to
edit, and then told Nightline’s Cynthia McFadden that the only help she had was
somebody who knew how to use Final Cut Pro (though she claimed she could still
do the Final Cut Pro by herself).
Beyonce may have been
busy telling the world about her incredible skills as a director, but as it
turns out she wasn’t the only one directing the DVD — her choreographer and
creative director Frank Gatson, as well as Ed Burke, also had a hand in
creating it.
“First of all, I must say that I have been
so thankful for the success of the ‘I Am…World Tour’ DVD,” Gatson told That
Grape Juice in a recent interview. “To co-direct that body of work, along with
Beyonce and Ed Burke…”
So, how much did
Beyonce actually even do herself?
This isn’t the first
time that Beyonce has been caught taking sole credit for other people’s work.
She’s often been busted contributing one letter or word to a song, with no
changes to the production or arrangement, in order to gain a writing credit,
only to then claim she wrote it entirely herself – One hilarious instance saw
her Dreamgirls song “Listen” being disqualified from the Academy Awards when
the awards’ executive committee found there were too many co-writers on the
track and that Beyonce had contributed the least amount to the song out of
everybody involved.
But I digress – The “I Am… World Tour” holds another example
of Beyonce’s deceitful ways. You see, one key feature of the DVD is that it not
only follows Beyonce on tour, but also follows her as she treks around the
globe, learning about different cultures and exploring exotic locales. One
instance featured the singer making her way through a pyramid in Egypt, and then
spontaneously bursting into a rendition of her song “Ave Maria”. It’s an
experience that touched the singer deeply — or so she’d like us to believe.
“This time I can appreciate how incredible
this is and the history, and I try to live in the moment,” she told Nightline
when speaking of her Egyptian escapades.
“I felt like it was important to go and see
the pyramids,” she admitted. “It was absolutely spiritual [and] unbelievable
and it just shows human ability and power. I felt like ‘I’m not worthy, I
shouldn’t be in this pyramid, this is amazing,’ and it was really beautiful
because I was able to go to the top and sing.”
Too bad it was all a
publicity stunt.
Back in November of
2009 when Beyonce was actually in Egypt, it was arranged that the country’s
leading Egyptologist Zahi Hawass would show her around. Here’s what he had to
say to a local newspaper when questioned about his experience with the
superstar.
“I showed her the Sphinx and I gave her a
book on King Tutankhamun,” Hawass said. “She’s a stupid person and she doesn’t
understand a thing and she doesn’t want to understand. She’s coming here to
take pictures and that’s it.”
Now, over one year
later, Hawass’ comments about Beyonce just wanting to “take pictures” make a
lot more sense with the recent release of her tour DVD and television special.
It’s too bad that Bey only seems to enjoy learning about different cultures
when she can use it to help sell her next album or concert special.”
Another bag of lies was dropped when the singer announced on
MTV that she was pregnant while millions of fans witnessed how her baby bump
collapsed during a live television interview.
Oh dear...
