Whenever Beyonce does anything at all, it typically goes viral and it definitely trends across twitter. So is the case for today's instance of Beyonce doing something, and that something happens to be a big remix of Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage."
Houston linked up on the big collaboration, with Beyonce helping provide background vocals to the record, bringing the flare up a notch, on top of her two-verse addition to the song. If you haven't listened yet, do that first. Here. Now that you've listened, you know that on the first verse, Beyonce brings her bars out in full force and a flow to match. She makes it sound way too easy, and might have everyone questioning what they're doing with their life if she can just toggle between rapping and singing like this.

Beyonce raps in the first verse of the "Savage" remix:
Hips TikTok when I dance
On that demon time, she might start an OnlyFans
Big B and that B stand for Bandz
If you wanna seem some real ass, baby here's your chance
I said left cheek, right cheek, drop it low when I swang
Texas up in this thang, put you up on this game
I be poppin' my frame, gang, gang, gang, gang
If you don't jump to put jeans on, baby you don't feel my pain
Please don't get me hype, write my name in ice
Can't argue with these lazy bitches, I just raise my price
I'm a boss, I'm a leader, I pull up in my two-seater
And my mama was a savage, n***a got this shit from Tina
The second verse finds Beyonce adding a bit more of sing-song flow to the mix:
I heard they askin' for the queen to bring some cameras in here
I'm a bad bitch, she a savage, no comparison in here
I'ma flip my hair and look back while I twerk in the mirror
All this money in the room think there's some scammers in here
I'm coming straight up out that third eye, whip the whip like I skrrted
Wood grain we swervin', keepin' his mind all on these curves
Coupe fly like a bird, cold on 'em like brrr
Always keep my word, no I don't do crosswords
BeyHive is out in droves on twitter, and we've received plenty of reactions to the above verses, including some from fellow artists, like Lil Nas X (but then again, he was born on the internet, he seems to react to everything).
We've rounded up some of the best fan reactions to Beyonce's hard-hitting verses below.
50 Cent Wouldn’t Let Roddy Ricch Inside His House
50 Cent also said he would risk his own health to protect Eminem and Dr. Dre from the coronavirus.
As a guest on Big Boy’s Neighborhood this week, 50 Cent answered five quarantine-specific questions in a rapid-fire manner, spilling the beans on who he would not let into his home during the lockdown and who he would risk his own health to save if he had one protective mask left.
Calling into the radio show, 50 Cent was asked if there was a rapper that he would lock the door on during this pandemic and his response may be surprising to some.

“Probably Roddy Ricch,” said Fiddy after hesitating a touch. “He’s too popular. It’s too many kids around, too many germs.”
During the same interview, Fif was asked if he would break quarantine for anybody in particular, to which he responded that, at this point, he would leave the house for half of the “models” on Instagram.
Then, the toughest question came. Big Boy asked the star a hypothetical query that would reveal all there is to know about his bond with Eminem and Dr. Dre.

“There’s one mask. Quarantine is going down. There’s two people and you can only give one mask. You see Dr. Dre and you see Eminem. Who do you give that one mask to?” asked Big Boy.
“That’s a foul question,” complained Fif. “I’d give Em the mask and I’d give Dre my own mask. If I had a mask on, I would give him mine.”
That was the best possible answer he could have given. Absolutely no damage was done.

R. Kelly’s Ex-Girlfriend Azriel Clary Addresses Him In Freestyle Rap
Azriel Clary, one of R. Kelly's ex-girlfriends, speaks on the people accusing her of chasing clout in a new freestyle rap video.
Azriel Clary is singing a different tune, both literally and figuratively, after escaping the grip of her ex-boyfriend R. Kelly. The 22-year-old had been with the disgraced singer for years, publicly supporting him as he battled dozens of charges in court. Alongside Joycelyn Savage, Azriel Clary was living in Kelly's home until late last year, when she decided to move out, break up with the singer, and start a life of her own.
These days, she's threatening to expose everything she knows about R. Kelly's criminal behavior, becoming just the latest accuser of his. Already, she has claimed that he forced her to defecate in a cup and eat the feces. What else could she be holding back?
In addition to the threats she's making, Clary is also trying to make a career for herself in music. On a near-weekly basis, she has been uploading videos of herself singing soulfully and rapping freestyles. In the latest rap clip, she addresses everybody that claims she's acting out to earn some clout, including Kelly.

"Everybody want to hear my peace/They say I’m using clout, they hate to see the baby eat," says Clary in the video. "It’s so crazy because I swear, I’m not trying to compete."
She goes on to get a rise out of her critics even further.
"To all the women that be knocking me, you probably been hurt and never healed properly," she says. "It’s gonna take more to get a reaction out of me. To all the n***as who say that I suck, probably the same six n***as beating bitches up. Bringing a strong woman down because you can’t keep up."

View this post on InstagramT.I. Responds To Viral Video Of Cop Brutally Punching 14-Year-Old
A Rancho Cordova cop was caught on camera using brutally excessive force against a 14-year-old boy on the ground.
Rancho Cordova police department and sheriff's office to investigate the conduct of one of their deputy's following extreme backlash, including from major stars like T.I. and Lauren Jauregui, over a viral video that shows the officer brutally punching a 14-year-old boy. A 15-second clip that surfaced on social media shows a deputy repeatedly punching a 14-year-old child.
Police have since responded to the video with claims that the 14-year-old boy was being "uncooperative" after a cop "saw what he believed to be a hand-to-hand exchange between an adult and juvenile," Rancho Cordova Police Department and the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. said in a statement.
The cop had reportedly lost the adult that was in the area and tried to detain the juvenile to investigate the matter. The 14-year-old is lying on the ground in the clip as he gets pummelled but the police argued that the teen was being "physically resistive" and caused the officer to lose control of his hand-cuffs. "The deputy attempted to maintain control of the juvenile without his handcuffs and while alone waiting for his partners to arrive and assist him," the statement reads.
The video that surfaced was shared on Twitter came from the teen's sister. "My baby brother who is 14 years old. All of this over a swisher there's more footage but I wasn't able to upload it all," she wrote. "And to add on: my brother has a serious heart condition that could be triggered very easily by being hit in his chest/back! He's a kid and has never been in any kind of trouble with the law! He was very scared and in so much pain!!!"
The police said claimed they later recovered tobacco products on the teenager which they believe was the reason why he resisted. "This type of situation is hard on everyone--the young man, who resisted arrest, and the officer, who would much rather have him cooperate," the statement added.
Though there was much backlash across social media, T.I. made a concerted effort to blast the police department. "This shit unacceptable!!!
No excuse to do nobody child this way!!!" Tip said on an IG Post.Meanwhile, Lauren Jauregui quoted the official statement with a series of tweets blasting the department for even trying to defend the cop. "This officer very obviously used excessive force on a child. Not a “juvenile”; a child. He is 14 years old and clearly being assaulted by a full grown man. Punched, choked, dragged through gravel, had his head held down, and had the full weight of a grown man on top of him," she wrote.
Check out T.I. and Lauren Jauregui's response below.
Doja Cat Teases Nicki Minaj "Say So" Remix
Doja Cat revealed that her single "Say So" will be receiving the remix treatment with none other than Nicki Minaj.
Doja Cat has been a target for Nicki Minaj's rabid fanbase, aka the Barbz, on more than one occasion. Each time she's taken it stride, and she's constantly shown love for Nicki, citing her influence not only on her personally but on the rap game as a whole. Now, the Barbz may be surprised (but hopefully pleasantly so!) to find out that Nicki Minaj will be making an appearance on Doja Cat's "Say So" remix.

"Say So" appeared on Doja Cat's Hot Pink album, and it wasn't released early as a single but eventually became one, as the song proceeded to take over the internet, resulting in Doja's biggest hit to date. It became her first record to break the top 10 of the Billboard 100. She would go on to release a 1970s, retro-themed music video for the record. It's already been remixed once by Snakehips, but it turns out another is on the way.
Making the major announcement twitter, Doja Cat told her fans: "CATS OUT THE BAG TWEET #SaySoRemix TO GET A SNEAK PEAK OF MY REMIX WITH @NICKIMINAJ."
She shared a visual teaser for the collab, but there's no sound available-- so get to tweeting, per Doja's instructions.
We'll keep you posted on an expected release date for the anticipated remix. Let us know if you're looking forward to it.
Courtney Stodden Exposes Chrissy Teigen For "Bullying" & "Harassing" Her In Old Tweets
Courtney Stodden put Chrissy Teigen on blast by digging up tons of old tweets in which Chrissy "bullied," "harassed," and "slut-shamed" the then-minor.
Courtney Stodden recently came across a bunch of old tweets of Chrissy Teigen's directed at her when she was still a minor, and let's just say, they don't exactly paint Chrissy in the best light. It was revealed earlier this year that Courtney and her husband of nine years, Doug Hutchison, were officially filing for divorce, after having separated already two years prior. The couple caused major controversy when they first tied the knot back in 2011, due to the fact that Courtney was 16 years old at the time, and her actor husband was 50 years old.

Now, it looks like Courtney is finally resolving a lot of her issues as she works on writing her memoir. On Tuesday, the now-25-year-old posted a video on Instagram indicating that this healing process has caused her to relive a lot of her past traumas, which apparently included getting "stalked," "bullied," "harassed," and "slut-shamed" by Chrissy Teigen on Twitter years ago when she was still a minor.

"I'm going through a lot right now behind closed doors and I'm coming to a lot of revelations I guess about the choices that I made, but also that the adults made around me when I was a minor and got married," she explains in the video, which she captioned, "A Message to Chrissy Teigen." She goes on to explain that beginning in 2011, when she was 16 and had just married Doug whom she's accused of being an alcoholic who abused her, Chrissy would allegedly tweet her "almost every single day" until sometime in 2012. "This video is definitely calling out Chrissy Teigen," Courtney declares. "She stalked me. She harassed me. She bullied me, and keep in mind, I was a minor."

"She would call me a whore, a slut, she would tell me she hated me," she continued. "Every name in the book she called me." Courtney then calls Chrissy out for her hypocrisy when she recently clapped back at some hateful comments about her body on her own Instagram photo. "I saw her in the news the other day and it was something about how she's saying people are shaming her," Courtney says. "Girl, you are a hypocrite...She was shaming me, and I was a minor. I just wish that she would've seen as an adult woman that maybe you shouldn't be hating on...a damaged teenage girl. I still see her bullying once in a while but when she comes out saying that she's stronger than people shaming her—well, you shamed a minor. An abused minor who was married to a predator at the time." She also shared several screenshots of these aforementioned tweets in a separate Instagram post.
Earlier in the video, Courtney stresses that while she and her mother have grown very close recently, she does not have a relationship with her father, who is also an alcoholic like her ex-husband allegedly is. She then addresses Chrissy directly and hopes that she'll treat her own daughter, Luna, better than Courtney was treated by her as a child. "So shame on you, Chrissy," she concludes. "You and John are great parents so I don't think you're going to sign your girl to marry a man older than John, but I hope that you can learn from this mistake because it's affected me." Chrissy has yet to respond to Courtney's accusations of online bullying.
Nicki Minaj Fans Think Meek Mill Is Shading Her Again
Meek Mill tweeted that he's ashamed of some of his former girlfriends and, of course, Nicki Minaj fans think he's speaking about her.
It doesn't matter what Meek Mill is talking about, Nicki Minaj fans will always find a way to implicate the Queen.
Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj broke up years ago but, in recent months, their feud was restored with a series of hateful tweets being thrown in both directions. Insults were aplenty during their short-lived beef reenactment and now, the Barbz are under the impression that Meek is coming for their lord and savior again.
Admitting that he's ashamed of some of his past romantic partners, the rapper's comments blew up with Nicki fans requesting some peace on this fine Wednesday.
"Every n***a got a few ugly bodies he ashamed of," retweeted Meek Mill, adding that he's even got some bad girls that he regrets ever getting with. Now, it's possible that he is actually sending some slight shade at Nicki Minaj. However, he could honestly be speaking about anybody.
"The one that gave you your career?" asked one Nicki stan in his replies. "Stop talking about Nicki, you know you miss that girl. Everybody was clowning her for dating you," said another.
Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesThe 32-year-old has dated several women not named Nicki Minaj that he could be ashamed of. Long story short, not everything is about the Queen.
Let this man live.
Post Malone Letting Fans Decide Which Cause His $1 Million Donation Will Go To
Post Malone has pledged a $1 million donation toward coronavirus relief efforts, but he needs his fans to help him choose which cause he should support.
Post Malone is putting the fate of his $1 million coronavirus relief donation in the hands of his fans, who may not have the financial means themselves to support the causes they wish to. Following the success of his live streamed Nirvana tribute concert last Friday, which helped raise over $4.3 million for the World Health Organization (WHO)'s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, Posty has decided to contribute some of his own wealth to a good cause as well. On Wednesday, the singer/rapper tweeted his latest charitable venture, which lets fans decide where he should send his $1 million donation.
"Thanks to everyone that watched the stream the other day & helped raise some money & kick some ass!" he wrote. "I want to donate a million dollars but need your help doing it:)) text me 817-270-6440." According to Complex, Posty's team will personally review all the submissions that fans send to this number. The suggested causes should "aim to assist in specific areas including COVID-19 frontline responders, education, homelessness, mental health, veteran aid, and more."

"Not everyone has the ability to financially support causes that may be close to them or that have helped them in the past," the artist said in a statement. "The fans are the absolute best and I want to give them the chance to give to charities that mean something to them."
Facebook Could Revolutionize Live Concerts Amid Social Distancing Rules
Facebook might be hosting paid live streams in the future as well as a dating app.
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly made the world even more dependant on technology than ever. Without being able to leave their homes, people have had to rely on Zoom and Facetime to keep up with their friends. However, in the wake of the pandemic, the music industry has had to take a long, hard look at the future of live music. More artists have been hosting live stream concerts from their home on Instagram Live but that hasn’t been bringing in the cash the same way as actual concerts in venues.
Facebook could be leading the charge in the shift of live events. The company announced that Facebook Live will be allowing artists to charge for entry to concert live streams, which will surely prove even more profitable when the world is restored. They will also be re-introducing the Live With a feature that allows co-hosts to jump on a stream as well as live streams for online-only event pages. At this point, Facebook hasn’t set in stone just how the payment system will work for paid events.
In addition to live concerts, Facebook will also be allowing users to accept payments for classes and seminars online. Though the payment option has yet to be rolled out, they have allowed donations for non-profit organizations.

Denzel Curry & Kenny Beats’ "Unlocked" Getting Comic Book Treatment
Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats are gearing up to bring “Unlocked” to the wonderful world of comic books.
Sometimes a creative vision can be enjoyed in a variety of different ways. Kendrick Lamar‘s DAMN, for example, took on a second life with a reversed tracklist; Run The Jewels went full crazy-cat-lady with the batshit insane Meow The Jewels. Now, the dynamic duo that is Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats have decided to offer up a different take on their popular Unlocked projected, which arrived back in February complete with an extensive companion film.

Today, Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats have revealed their plans to expand on their recently established world, announcing an official Unlocked 48-page comic book and instrumental album by way of their “dark” counterparts. With Psycho Films handling the plot and illustrations from Sam Hochman, Joey Prosser, Forrest Whaley, Justin Johnson, Chaz Bottoms, Malik Bolton, Rachel Headlam, Borboev Shakhnazer, and Asekov Tilek, it’s likely that Unlocked will continue to take on a life of its own. Should you be interested, check out the trailer below, and be sure to place your orders right here.
If that wasn’t enough, the pair will also be delivering an instrumental version of the album, as Kenny Beats believes that the beats can stand comfortably on their own. “UNLOCKED is so much more than a few songs, it’s a feeling we all have,” Kenny told Complex. “For the first time I’m releasing my instrumentals because I truly believe these beats can live on their own. Put them on while you read the comic and stay tuned for part 2!” Look for that to land on May 1st.
