‘Bey Looks So Uninterested’: Fans Unimpressed By Evelyn Lozada’s Throwback Pic with Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Evelyn Lozada may have thought she was giving the people something they wanted when she shared a throwback image of herself with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, but quickly she learned she overestimated how much people cared.

The 44-year-old “Basketball Wives” star posted photos from her 30th birthday that she celebrated with her then-boyfriend, former NBA player Antoine Walker. According to Lozada, Walker gave her the “greatest birthday” when he surprised her by inviting none other than Queen Bey and Jay-Z as guests to her Miami bash.

“Fun fact! My ex @toinewalker8 had Jay Z & @beyonce surprise me at my 30th Birthday Party in Miami. #SuchFunMemories #WhatAGreatSuprise #WeHadSoMuchFun #GreatestBirthday,” reads her caption.

In the first image, the two couples appear to be looking in different directions and Jay just looks flat-out confused. In the second, Lozada appears to be engaged in conversation with Bey as the “Brown Skin Girl” singer’s attention is somewhere else all together.

Between that and her bringing up another ex just weeks after again calling out her ex-husband, former NFL player Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, for the alleged abuse she endured during their marriage, followers dragged her something fierce in the comments.

“Girl you always mentioning them exes,” called out a fan. “You hate it… wherever you are now 😩😂”

“I wouldn’t have posted this one!” a second commented.

“Fun fact Beyoncé didn’t wanna be there,” a third clowned.

“Girl…. Beyoncé don’t know you 🤷🏾‍♂️,” a fourth stated.

“Lmao girl… how many exes do u have,” a fifth wondered.

“Bey looks so uninterested 😭😭,” laughed a sixth.

Lozada and Walker were previously engaged and had a 10-year-relationship from 1998 to 2008, four years before her infamous 3-month marriage to Johnson.

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
