A viral video has social media talked after two of Beyoncé’s longtime background dancers quickly responded to a concert attendee who threw something at the 32-time Grammy Award winner at one of her Los Angeles performances during her “Renaissance World Tour.”

While singing her “Drunk in Love” hit for fans at the SoFi Stadium earlier this month, someone in the audience threw a large item on stage at the star. French dancers known as the Les Twins — both dressed in red jumpsuits and with their hair braided in blond hair — immediately jumped into action.

Brothers Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois stormed over to confront the individual with a warning before snatching what had been thrown off the stage. “Someone gotta be stupid and throw stuff at Beyoncé. Les Twins about to get in a fight over it,” was written over one clip circulating on TikTok.

However, the singer never missed a beat, and she continued to perform the song with perfection.

Fans applauded the twins and celebrated them for looking out for “their mother Beyoncé!!!!”

“She be making sure they eat so id be fighting for her too!”

“Love seeing them have her back! One of the twins was more headed and had to stop the other one going back and getting into it.”

“YES !!! But where is Julius ? Thank you LES TWINS.”

“Les Twins will ALWAYS protect their mother Beyoncé!!!!”

“They don’t play bout Beyonce, honey. Everybody else was too chill for me, though.”

Julius de Boer has been Beyonce’s personal bodyguard for a little over the past two years of her career. But this also makes her the latest artist to have had something thrown at her on stage.

Over the summer, several artists such as Cardi B, who had water splashed on her, have also had things thrown at them during their performances.

But this isn’t the only time some of Beyoncé’s dancers have come to her aid.

In June during her Amsterdam show, when she had a wardrobe malfunction, one of her dancers made sure she was not exposed.

A six-second video of the wardrobe mishap quickly went viral. While singing “Break My Soul,” her custom costume slipped up. As with the most recent incident, one of the Les Twins brothers gracefully covered her almost nip slip, by dancing in front of her.

Before the video concluded, the singer smiled while discreetly adjusting her attire and showing appreciation for the dancer’s quick thinking.

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.
