The call to #BoycottBeyoncé has resurfaced, and this time it’s Beyoncé leading the charge.

#BoycottBeyoncé first began when the songstress dropped her single “Formation” at the 2016 Super Bowl. Critics accused Bey of being anti-police and called for the boycott. But since the kick-off to her Formation World Tour, Wednesday in Miami, the hashtag is being reclaimed and worn on the chests of the Beyhive.

#LemonadeSyllabus: Black Women Are Sharing Reading Lists Inspired By Beyoncé’s Visual Album, and It’s Amazing

“If it’s what you truly want… I can wear her skin over mine. Her hair over mine. Her hands as gloves.” Your hashtag a T-Shirt…

 

When I saw #BoycottBeyoncé trending I thought the police 🚨 were back at it again LOL turns out it was Beyoncé being genius! 🤓💵

What Black Women Are Saying About Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’

The Beyhive serves a humble queen as, that night, Beyoncé shared the stage with fans during her “Single Ladies” performance, first introducing herself, before allowing them to absolutely demolish the choreography.

She brought up fans at stage and introduced herself 😭 #Beyonce #singleladies #FormationWorldTour #goals #momlife pic.twitter.com/wQjeUvboMT

The windswept hair? The ad libbed quick floor work and high kick? The fact that you held your own alongside the Queen?  You ladies slayed.

Brava!
