I get what she's saying. I don't get hate or shadiness out of her point
!!! Like let's grow up people and use critical thinking skills instead of throwing emotional fits because of an opinion we don't like.
nigger please

Facts. The last time said artist had major success with anything is where their career stopped.

If you haven't seen a major achievement since the 90's guess what?
Thats when that shit ended and you are now a drifter

Says the person. Who doesn't have a said career in said field. Yeah, I'll rather listen to a girl with some action on the front lines behind their words, than observers from a far.

Here they go with these bees in her IG comments.Do they think she really runs that account or would be affected by it after being in the game for five or six decades?

Not necessarily.You can't just count anyone out like that.Look at Cher and The Isley Brothers. Billy Ray's career stopped in the early 90s but is on the No.1 song today.Or the Backstreet Boys who opened with huge sales this year.

This! Bee has had as long of a run in the upper echleons of artists as anyone at this point, 21 years straight at this point, way longer than a lot of people considered legends or icons.

Having a 5 or 10 year career on top then having your relevancy languish but you manage to be "around" in some capacity  here and there for the several decades that follows is not as iconic as 20+ years ON TOP.

Hell Ashanti is still "around" 18 years later, having only a 2-3 year span on top.

Bee is also the highest grossing black entertainer of all time, as far as live shows go, something that people always overlook.

I also find it funny how depending on the context of the discussion ppl will go from "Beyonce is sooo overrated, everyone acts like she's God and you have to love everything she does, and she has the most rabid fanatical stans of all time!" to "Beyonce's not iconic, because she isn't as beloved or revered as "insert 5-11" inaccurate examples." That goal post has been moving the entire 20+ years.
