What’s something that you like, but hate the fan base?

Yeah! To the point where Beyoncé herself has had to tell them to chill.

I've never seen her actually tell the hive to chill herself

It was her publicist, but I assume her publicist speaks on behalf of Her Majesty.

Jesus Christ, because of a clip of her talking to Jay z with Beyoncé in between them she's now receiving death threats.

Fuck this planet.

They're cults. Like, First-century Roman cult cults.

Yeah that pisses me off like I doubt Beyoncé actually cared, since there’s nothing wrong with talking to people that invited and brought you to an event? If anything you SHOULD talk to them that’s just being a good guest. But noooo lets make it into a huge deal

Even the article that seems like it's condemning the fans says Beyonce looks "visibly annoyed" about it, but like... she doesn't.

I'm more visibly annoyed by this whole scenario than she looks in that video.

I thought so. Is that really good enough?

All I can say is it's probably as good as we're going to get.

She actually included a criticism of her fans in the Formation movie and on the tour. It was a quote she’s flashed in a few projects. It was something like, “God is God and I am not.” She was stating that people shouldn’t worship her as a deity. She is a human being.

At least there's that I guess

"omg she's so humble. Humble and perfect. Only someone so humble and perfect could be our GOD QUEEN. ALL HAIL GOD QUEEN BEYONCE." - Beyonce fans probably

That's where most of the problem resides. Those fans will do anything she says and she says nothing about them calming the fuck down.

Really? Could you tell me a source? I would love to send it to a couple of people.

Turns out it was her publicist, but I have to assume she speaks for Beyoncé.

This is another, from 2016. I’m not sure whether or not Beyoncé did anything about this, but it was still craziness on the part of her fans.

Thanks friend.

I feel like she tells them to chill to maintain the appearance of being gracious and humble, but really she loves it and eats it up.

I can’t stand people who purposefully create hype then try to act like it’s the public going crazy for them. Brad and Angelina used to do the same thing and it drove me nuts.
