13 Takedown! (My Super Bowl Photos)
Super Bowl Halftime Show has always been regarded as a very prestigious showcase of talent. Only the best of the best get the privilege of being selected to star in the centerstage.
Not surprising that Beyoncé was chosen to take centerstage in the February 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
As expected, the performance was a spectacle to behold. Despite her glorious title as the Queen, Beyoncé is still but human. Unflattering photos of her during the performance have made rounds on the Internet. For obvious reasons, Beyoncé wanted her unflattering photos erased from history.
When you’re the Queen, much like other real queens of the world, it is obvious you’ve got power. You feel it in your heart, you feel it coursing through your veins. Unfortunately, once you’ve had a taste of power, it could get to your head. You feel like you have command over everything.
Even Queen Bey is no match to the powers of the Internet; hence, her unflattering photos can still be found online.
12 Alter Ego Gone Wrong
For those that follow Beyoncé, they would know who Sasha Fierce is. The rest of the world however, needs an introduction.
Sasha Fierce was the alter ego created by Beyoncé in 2008. As per Beyoncé from an interview, “I created my stage persona to protect myself, so that when I go home, I don’t have to think about what it is I do. Sasha isn’t me.”
That decision allowed her to be more creative with her craft by being more sensual and more aggressive. Nothing wrong with mixing it up.
Artists sooner or later crave to expand their skills like actors who want to change from action oriented films to possibly a drama centered one.
Diversification isn’t a bad thing but when your songs and music videos reach a point where they can be too sexual or too vulgar in words to the point of being offensive, one must question if this is still art.It takes great courage to exercise freedom but even greater strength to exhibit restraint when necessary.
11 She Wears Fur Coats Despite PETA’s Advice
Beyoncé has been ruffling the feathers of PETA so to speak since 2006, when the latter confronted the “Survivor” pop star while dining in a New York restaurant for Beyonce’s use of fur.
A few years later, PETA sent an open letter to Beyoncé when she continuously wore fur and other exotic animal skins.
During her remarkable 2013 Super Bowl Halftime performance, the “Bootylicious” singer wore a Rubin Singer-designed leotard made of python, iguana and cow.
Less than a month later, the “Bonnie and Clyde” couple was spotted having an all plant – based meal in a fancy vegan restaurant.
What made PETA’s blood boil was Beyoncé‘s callous choice of clothing. The famous singer was seen wearing a Christopher Kane parka with a real fur collar in a meat-free swanky Los Angeles restaurant.
And in 2015, during her visit in “Good Morning America”, Queen Bey introduced and promoted her new business venture – a vegan food delivery service.
A lot of animal rights activists have cried foul over this calling Beyoncé a cunning businesswoman who remorselessly wears furs, minks, leathers while masquerading as a pretentious vegan.
