At first you might be asking yourself what a politician might have to do with one of the most popular singers over the last 15 years, right? Beyonce is used to making headlines because she can sing, or have babies or just for being married to Jay-Z, but this week, the headlines are telling a different story. According to reports, the popular singer has been the target of attacks that are coming from a politician. If you are surprised, most would be feeling the same way.
Beyonce might have not been making friends throughout her entire career and she has dealt with unruly fans that are not real fans, but there is little doubt that she has been attacked like this. The politician, Mike Huckabee, which happens to be running for the White House in 2016, has made comments more than one time that should have been reviewed before speaking.
Huckabee made comments during interviews stating that Beyonce could not be a good parent if she is shielding her child away from one thing, but exposing them to lyrics and choreography of her music at the same time. At this point, you wonder what Beyonce has to do with Huckabee, but maybe he is just pointing out the hypocricy within our country these days. The comments do not stop there, however. Huckabee made a comment about Beyonce’s husband, Jay-Z next.
During the interview, Huckabee wondered if Jay-Z might be aware whether or not he is coming off as a pimp, rather than a husband, when he exploits his wife as a sex object. Of course the comments are off the cuff and unfiltered, as one online source put it, but why is he targeting specific people? Huckabee has also been quoted making poorly thought out comments about the Obama family, so these should not come as too much of a surprise to some. Most might wonder what chance Huckabee has at the White House next year if he cannot get through an interview without bashing someone.
Huckabee does not have a music background and should not be talking smack about one of the most popular acts in the business. Beyonce has been so much more popular since she started her solo career and after selling more than 75 million records as a solo artist, you would think that these types of attacks would be furthest from anyone’s mouth. Beyonce is just 33 years old and is going to have one of the most promising careers that an artist could ask for. In the meantime, it looks like she is going to have dodge attacks like this and that might be a product of being in the spotlight.
