I'm so confused by her decisions this year. Aside from her involvement- or lack thereof- around the COWBOY CARTER/BEYINCE vinyls, the notable absence of visuals for a second album in a row, did the hair care line even launch? I saw nothing about it after the announcement but if it did, how easy is it to ditch a venture and move to the next one for billionaires huh. Not only has the hair care line launched but it has won the following awards/accolades: Bustle's Most Wanted Awards 2024 - Clarifying Shampoo & Scalp Scrub: Best Scalp Remedy Byrdie Beauty Awards 2024 - Moisturizing Deep Conditioner: Best Hydrating Conditioner Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Awards 2024 - Fermented Rice & Rose Protein Ritual: Best Hair Care Game Changer Cosmopolitan Summer Beauty Awards 2024 - Hydrating Shampoo & Moisturizing Deep Conditioner: Best Moisturising Hair Wash Duo Elle UK Future OF Beauty Awards 2024 - Moisture Sealing Lotion: Winner Financial Times Best New Beauty Products For Summer 2024 - Moisturizing Deep Conditioner Glamour Magazine Best Hair Oils For Growth And Shine 2024 - Best Hair Oil For Intense Hydration Glamour Magazine Best Products For Afro And Textured Hair 2024 - Reconstructing Treatment Mask: Best For Reconstructing Afro Hair Good Housekeeping Best Conditioners That Will Leave Your Hair Soft And Shiny 2024 - Moisturizing Deep Conditioner: Best For Hydration Harper's Bazaar Best Protein Treatments 2024 - Fermented Rice & Rose Protein Ritual: Best Treatment For Freshly Coloured Hair InStyle The Best Hair-Care Products of 2024 - Fermented Rice & Rose Protein Ritual: Best Strengthening Treatment Marie Claire Skin and Hair Awards 2024 - Reconstructing Treatment Mask: Best New Black-Owned Hair Brand ONE37pm Best Curly Hair Products For Men 2024 - Reconstructing Treatment Mask: Best Hair Mask SELF Healthy Beauty Awards 2024 - Hydrating Shampoo: Best Shampoo for Curly Hair SELF Healthy Beauty Awards 2024 - Moisturizing Deep Conditioner: Best Deep Conditioner The Cut 2024 - Clarifying Shampoo & Scalp Scrub: The Best Detoxifying Shampoo Vogue 2024 - Clarifying Shampoo & Exfoliating Scalp Scrub: Best Scalp Scrub Vogue 2024 - Moisture Sealing Lotion: Best Lotion for 3A Hair Vogue Beauty Awards 2024 - Moisture Sealing Lotion: The Textured Hair Hero, Runner Up Woman & Home Magazine Best Shampoos For Afro Hair 2024 - Hydrating Shampoo: Best Shampoo For Porous Afro-Textured Hair Women's Health Beauty Awards 2024 - Reconstructing Treatment Mask: Best Hair Mask 6

She's a big whiskey drinker. If given the opportunity to make your own signature perfume catered to your desires, would you not do so? And if you could easily sell it, would you not do that? I'm not sure what "shame" can be involved here in her following her passions and making businesses out of them. It's not like she's marketing diet pills that don't work, or cheap trinkets. All her products have been of exceptional quality. And if you don't get wanting to create for the sake of it and have the possibility to earn more money from it too, then ok. 1

Buying her music makes sense, but like just buy a cheaper whiskey that's probably better. You clearly aren't a whiskey drinker because everyone knows cheap whiskey is AWFUL. When you drink whiskey, you're supposed to enjoy the flavor, aroma and how premium it is. Even if she has stopped promoting 'COWBOY CARTER' it works with the music and the overall persona of the era. It very much makes sense, considering it's a passion project just like CECRED. It also ties into building generational wealth. She has always spoken about that and as a black woman in entertainment it's really a great thing. In the black community we speak about how little of generational wealth we have as a collective and how we don't see it as often. It's really wonderful to see. 2

It's wonderful to see a billionaire getting even richer bc this will somehow end poverty within the black community? I can't with the amount of reaching y'all do to paint everything this woman does as symbolic or some form of protest.

I can't with the amount of reaching y'all do to paint everything this woman does as symbolic or some form of protest. It's really never that serious. People have been selling alcohol since forever, Beyoncé getting in the mix is not the ultimate evil you're making out to be. Plenty of white celebs are making bank selling alcohol George Clooney and Kendall Jenner have very successful Tequilas for example. I didn't see anyone having meltdowns when they launched theirs and they just did it because they could. At least Beyoncé has the family legacy angle to have an anchor for it's existence. Same goes for Cecred with her mom being a cosmetologist. The point is no one has anyone at gun point to buy anything ANY celeb puts out. So don't let it bother you this much and support what dosent make you so upset. I on other hand would happily support black owned distilleries and alcohol brands Beyoncé's included.

I'm blindly buying items if I think they're of high quality. Couldn't care less who their owner is, unless it's some monster. The thing with Beyonce is that instead of calling it what it is, a billionaire who wants to expand their businesses (which is fine lol who am I to talk), it is somehow being turned into yet another awe inspiring move she does for the black community. Which is completely unnecessary and false. Few people in the world, black or of any other race, even have 0.1% of her fortune and capital.

I can't with the amount of reaching y'all do to paint everything this woman does as symbolic or some form of protest. So don't buy the alcohol, damn. It's that simple. I never said I was going to buy it, I just stated my perception of her passion project. I never said any of that, you inferred that. Do not project your views onto me.
