Beyonce's Fans Rip Kim Kardashian Photo Shoot

Beyonce’s fans are fierce defenders of their Queen. While artist like Rita Ora and Rihanna can profess their love others like Kim Kardashian gets a hard time from the fans.

This weekend pop stars Rita Ora and Rihanna publicly professed their love for the Queen Bey. First Ora shared in an interview

“Beyonce was, and she still is, such an inspiration. She’s been in the game for so long you think she’s older but she’s only 30,” she said. “The first time I met her I was so nervous. I hugged her and told her she was my inspiration. She’s a superwoman with a career and a family. I hope one day I can do the same – baby in one arm, microphone in the other.”

Rihanna later tweeted a photo of a glammed up Beyonce with the caption:

“This pic could single handedly destroy the self esteem of an entire nation.”

Next up was Kim Kardashian’s homage to Beyonce and it was not well received…at all.

Kim K tweeted a group of photos called “Split Personalities” which…to some…called on the images from “Countdown” and “Single Ladies”

Here are just some reactions to the photos,

‘Get out of Beyonce’s clothes!’ wrote one, while another said: ‘Are you tryna’ be BEYONCE? Cause if you are, she’s INCOMPARABLE!’

“She will never be Beyonce!!! Beyonce has talent an class unlike Kim who makes sex tapes to become famous. I know her dad is rolling over in his grave!!!”

Wow. Hopefully Kim Kardashian and Beyonce are simply laughing this off….together or separately.

In other news Bey is being accused of diva-like behavior after joining her husband Jay-Z at a nightclub. Initial reports stated that the 30-year old entertainer arrived at the venue and demanded the Oxygen production team shut down shooting for “Girlfriend Confidential: NY” until she left. The pop star reportedly joined her husband for a couple hours and then left. However the latest update tells a different story. CEO of Star Vodka who’s sponsoring the show stated, “Beyonce was exceptionally accommodating while the filming was going on.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
