Can we be honest for a moment? Beyoncé’s body is lit. Sure, it’s always been damn near flawless, but recently the singer-songwriter gave a new definition to #bodygoals when she flaunted a super flat tummy almost two months after giving birth to twins.

In photos posted to the singer’s official website Wednesday, Aug. 9, Bey stands with curly blonde hair and a custom handbag by Mediumrare Product reading, “It’s Not Yours” in tow. Yes, Bey we know that amazing post-baby body isn’t ours (even in our wildest dreams) but do you have to throw it in our face?

And it gets better. The mother of twins Rumi and Sir Carter and Blue Ivy Carter posed in a cropped yellow Fila branded t-shirt and ripped shorts by Coal n Terry Vintage, along with a cameo jacket by Mistress Rocks. Her belly is visibly toned as she stands with her hand in hair in DSquared boots. Clearly, she’s given new life to ‘MILF.’

The singer saw her “Freedom” collaborator Kendrick Lamar’s concert in Los Angeles Sunday, Aug. 6, UsWeekly reported. Bey, along with her cousin Angie Beyince, Blue, husband Jay-Z and pal Kelly Rowland were tapped jamming along to Lamar’s hits like “Alright” and “Humble.”

Online, fans couldn’t stop fawning over the images. And, to be honest, we don’t blame them.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
