Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z responded to critics with a strong message after the R&B singer was subjected to harsh accusations of “skin lightening” following her spectacular makeover debut.
This week, when the celebrity debuted a long, platinum blonde wig for the Renaissance concert video premiere on Saturday, internet trolls criticized her new appearance on social media. Some criticized the 42-year-old singer for appearing to be a “Kim K Cher hybrid” and said she was imitating Kim Kardashian.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z posted a defiant picture on Instagram, sending peace signals to her critics, in response to the harsh charges. Following the spate of abuse, fans expressed their admiration for Queen Bey in the comments section of the latest post. “We know Black is Black.. congrats on the movie!!!” exclaimed one admirer. “BEYONCÉ, WE LOVE THE PLATINUM ON YOU,” wrote another. ANYTHING CAN BE PULL OFF. You are the queen; forget the media.” “Stunning Queen, I love the platinum blonde hair on you!” exclaimed a third.

Following Beyoncé’s announcement of her stunning new metamorphosis for the premiere of her concert film, uproar sprang out. At the silver carpet event, the mother of three looked stunning in a shimmering silver gown created by Donatella Versace.
Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, took strong offense to the allegations that her daughter had bleached her skin in order to seem lighter, and she vehemently defended her daughter in the face of criticism over the appearance. This week, the 69-year-old took to Instagram to deliver a biting message to Beyoncé’s detractors, clarifying that the sole reason Beyoncé changed her appearance was to adhere to the silver motif of the event.

Tina said: “Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,” she went on: “She does a film, called the renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?”
“Every time she does something that she works herself into the ground for and is a declaration of her work ethic, talent, and resilience,” the woman went on to say. These depressed tiny haters are emerging from the shadows. You encourage racism, misogyny, false standards, and jealousy.”
