if it's what I saw online, he released a Target exclusive vinyl (when there's a boycott happening with Target due to them removing DEI initiatives from their company)

His deal with Target showing, yet again, just how out of touch with reality he is

Regardless of how YOU feel about it, its still misstep #insertnumberhere from #him

Will he be cancelled for this? No. But you would think after #TrumpKushnerCasiNO gate The Carters would steer as clear from fascist-supporting corporations as possible, yet here we are...

Honestly, the greed is so unbecoming. Isn't a billion enough?

Hey Hive, any of yall good at photoshop? I have a picture from hosting a panel and when I sit it gives 2011 belly fold scandal. I could use AI but I don't want that AI marker on IG photos.

She already did this for Black Parade and it didn't exactly become a smash hit…

She's been quiet for long enough that any launch for act iii necessitates a proper era 'launch' - she knows half the fun is the launch of a new aesthetic.

Jay Z is 1.) a black man, and 2.) literally the richest musician in the world. The Target deal was, at best, unnecessary. But what is even more unnecessary is you defending a billionaire, especially one constantly bringing the worst publicity imaginable to our fave...

OH please Kendric Lamar got a target deal. Fenty beauty is in Target. Alicia keys skin care brand in target. It's fake outrage because it's Beyonce husband lmao

I guess 2027 for act iii is possible if it comes around January or February, but y'all are lying to yourselves to temper your expectations if you truly think it's coming in 2028.

im not defending him, i couldn't care less about jay z ass, but there are other black artists making exclusive vinyl version out there and no one cares about them the way they do with him, that's why i called it a fake outrage and the way they already miss information about it saying hes just saying the vinyl is exclusive to target when is just that variant like any other artist out there

Act iii is coming this year. 2027 is far too long a wait.

It just got massively delayed for some reason which is why Yvette did that blast in the media how it wasn't coming.

• Kendrick's album was before the boycott.

• Fenty beauty is partnered with Ulta who partnered with Target and they're not renewing their contract so those are out soon.

• Alicia Key's skin care is NOT sold in target.

And none of those people matter anyways because Beyoncé and Jay Z are immensely more impactful and influential (with a lot more money)

And it's more than just a vinyl being sold in the store, it's a whole partnership deal. Theyll be selling a bunch of his other items as well in the coming weeks. And yes, when you center a lot of your recent music on the importance of black culture you are going to attract negative headlines when you work with a company that your community is actively boycotting. Jay Z and Beyoncé are both billionaires as they like to point out, there's no reason for them to do these things.. he couldve easily sent the records to black owned record stores and called it a day.... but no, now we have negative publicity just like we did when Beyoncé performed in Dubai, or when they dined with the kushners for a casino

There are many more examples like this. A simple search would show you this. You are either consistent with every one or appear hypocritical.

Also we have to stop allowing these people to use the carters as a punching bag. Just because they are rich does not give them the right to be incredibly vile and nasty to them. Going after their family personally, including their kids saying absolutely horrible things to them. This is very hypocritical because target just has a big financial bump a month ago. Black people are still going to target in droves, just like they never stopped watching the NFL.

With the jared kusher thing. They were at a table for a charity event that raised over 20 million dollars. They are not friends or cool with them. The trump family is the only behind the Epstein nonsense. Why do you think Jay said ":i got maga republicans coming for me..."

I don't mind waiting for act iii until early/mid 2028, if she wasn't going to take her last 2 "world tour"s to the world (coming from someone from AU waiting since Mrs Carter World tour) then tour the world with all 3 acts completed. All visuals released, the show itself split in 3 parts with accompanying visuals. It would make sense to let RWT and CCWT breathe for the GP (not stan's) a little more before coming back to stage. That's me personally of course lol.

like i woulda been fine wit

act i - 2022 / tour - 2023

act ii - 2025 / tour - 2026

act iii - 2028 / tour - 2029

but she loves being unpredictable

i hope next tour isnt just europe-north america again. if the concern is traveling expenses or low tix sales, then she should book festivals in those continents.

oh brother this whataboutism. Do we need a gif like the monster's rotating wheel of excuses? Literally no one is bringing up their kids in this, Jay Z did something greedy and now they're being called out, oh well, get some common sense next time. They're the most powerful, influential, and rich black couple in the world, if you can't see why more people would be upset about them partnering with Target over CIARA, a faded 00's R&B singer who hasnt been relevant since Bush was president then I don't know what to tell you.

you don't get to claim how Beyoncé is the most influential artist of the world and that her focus has been making music that matters, then be shocked she gets called out for questionable money-focused decisions that go against what she's singing about (such as dubai). As the famous spiderman quote says "With great power comes great responsibility"

Fock jay and his capitalist ass and that's it. Kids off limits though other then that people are in the right to have a civil discussion on the ethics behind the business of Jay. Hell, ANY celeb with that much coin for that matter. How do we go from supporting Colin Kaepernick, endorsing change to wanting to displace and disrupt New York residents with casinos? Like please he is every other rich person that walks this earth he moves weird and he wants you to believe a certain image. There is this weird requirement or expectation that you have to be Jay's lawyer/supporter if you are hive when you really don't have to have a reason to support him or defend him for his actions (besides the whole Diddy thing which is ridiculous) as long as Bey's name or the kids don't get mentioned idgaf.
