RideOrDie Posted March 20 Posted March 20 In April 2014, Badu came under fire by the US-based Human Rights Foundation, for performing at the birthday celebration of King Mswati III, ruler and monarch of Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland). Mswati, credited as Africa's last absolute monarch, is considered to be a serial human-rights abuser, ruling in luxury in a country infamous for its poverty and spiraling HIV rates. Badu presented Mswati with a $100 bill, and a good-luck stone. In a January 2018 interview with Vulture, Badu was asked about accusations of antisemitism based on a 2008 Haaretz article which describes her telling a Tel Aviv crowd, "[Louis] Farrakhan is not an anti-Semite. He loves all people." She denied being antisemitic, but said, "I'm a humanist. I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler." After being asked to clarify her comments, Badu praised Hitler's paintings. In the same interview with Vulture, Badu reacted differently than most other American celebrities about Bill Cosby's sexual predation, saying, "I love Bill Cosby, and I love what he's done for the world. But if he's sick, why would I be angry with him?" In a January 2019 concert, Badu elicited boos from fans after giving support to musician R. Kelly, saying "I dunno how everybody else feel about it but I'm putting up a prayer right now for R. ... I love you. Unconditionally". Badu has been criticized for her perceived support of R. Kelly following the release of Lifetime's Surviving R. Kelly. 3 1 9

futuresuperstar2023 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Black women have always either loved her or hated her. It's no in between with them lmao. That just proves that BEY is the ****. Y'all YT fonts may not get it but we as black people understand what it is. Bey adoration is a threat to them and makes em salty.

Shinning Posted March 20 Posted March 20 This is why Bey needs to stop giving these bitter hags their flowers They are ALWAYS ungrateful 2

The last time she talked about her, she was raving about her. You know, just like Diana and Taylor and Shakira and P!NK. It's such a kii that literally every single one of your faves is a massive Beyoncé stan.
