Michelle Obama blasted for calling Beyonce a 'role model'

If Beyonce is not a role model, I don't know anybody else who is. A tweet from the US First Lady wishing Beyonce a happy birthday and calling her a role model caused an online uproar on Beyoncé's birthday. Some didn't agree that the singer is a role model. Most of the negative tweets focused on the way she dresses, her behavior on stage and in videos, her 'sexually explicit' lyrics, her husband's violent past, and allegations that she has used or does use drugs. See the tweets after the cut...



However, others pointed out Beyonce’s business successes and praised her “body confidence”:

For those who wants to go music, she's a model. I guess these oyinbo don't know the meaning of model. Anyone who want to pick music as a life role can pick Beyonce as her model. And so far so good she has good comportment and not a controversial life

Beyonce has been a role model to many gals, female singers and adult!! Her stage life is not her personal life.. the way she behaves outside is different from her stage persona..... Role Model 4ever.

Anonymous said...

I AGREE WITH THE BACKLASH. THE FACT THAT SOMEONE HAS MADE MONEY AND FAME AND STRUGGLED WHILE TRYING TO ACHIEVE THOSE THINGS DOESN'T NECESSARILY MAKE THEM A ROLE MODEL.
SOME PEOPLE STUMBLE ON 'SUCCESS' THRU SHEER LUCK AND DO A BAD JOB WHILE AT IT

I WOULDN'T ENCOURAGE MY OWN CHILD OR EVEN ANOTHER CHILD TO LOOK UP TO BEYONCE LIKE THAT. WHEN PEOPLE LIKE AMANPOUR DEY, ANGELA MERKEL, NMARGARET THATCHER ETC.

Trouble in hell.She made a mistake by saying that,she would have say that kim is a role model to girls as well.

Beyonce is a role model o. She shows skin and gives "HER HUSBAND" lap dance on stage because its her job (I know this sounds somehow but you know what i mean)... its all for show. She's a showgirl, its a PERFECTLY reasonable job. Off the stage, check out how organized her life is.... bloody haters.,

Are you crazy linda. Beyonce is not a role model. But due to the upsurge of crazy in our world of today, such a statement can come up. I definitely wnt want my daughter if she becomes a singer to wear what beyonce wears on stage.

Anonymous said...

How in the world is Beyonce a role model? I don't get it. I have nothing against Beyonce but role models for my daughter are women covered up women like Lupita, Malala Yousafzai, Bethany Hamilton and so forth. Women that know who and what they are and not what the world thinks of them. Linda, you are also an inspiration but I can't stand your egg plant, kardashian and materialistic shenanigans.

Seriously Michelle Obama fall hand. Beyonce is in no way a role model dropping it like its hot bumping and grinding and practically half naked all the time. Just bcos she has money. All money isn't good money. Michelle shld know better she went to some of the best schools. Beyonce is not even educated.

Linda please give me just one reason why you think she is a role model?People just respect and follow people cause they are rich.I agree with all the tweets.

Anonymous said...

Why do they call her Queen Bey and why do so many attend her events? What made her to break the internet? Why does her music get to Platinum? Could answers to these be responsible for Michele's assessment? And why call her a slut except you are in favor of the Sharia lifestyle?

Anonymous said...

frankly speaking, I sorta agree with them, she needed to more explicit on the role she 'models' for young women... hard work, perseverance, maybe, but in a world were pop culture has been a sexualized industry, perhaps being a role model might be too far fetched

Linda where's the tweet of people praising Bey? I'm only seeing the critique tweets.

Beyonce is NOT a role model oooo. She is a singer and ENTERTAINER.

A role model is an individual you can look up to and emulate. Beyonce does not fit the latter.

Just like hero and love, the term 'role model' is misused in today's society.

Dats d thing i have issues with atimes. Just cos we r fellow blacks dont mean in support of anything under the sun. Beyonce is a role model but i guess d question is in what area? Yeah building an empire in a white world and no baby daddy dramas but in terms of morality indecent exposure maybe not. So as a first lady mrs.obama ought to tred softly with choice of words but then again they approve gay rights which is under humanitarian. Perhaps ms. Obama was thinking along those lines in rolemodelship for beyonce. In short, happy birthday beyonce is sufficient leave out all that role model 4 young girls out as a first lady...just saying

I think Michelle is talkin abt beyonces personal life. Her family, achievements, her strength her rare attributes, how she's positively impacted many lives , and most importantly, her scandal free life. I think This is more dan enough to inspire any young woman and give her dat drive she needs to pursue whatever is her dream, without gettin in some sort of mess. Michelle isnt talkin about d kinda life beyonce portrays on stage or on screen (which may nat be a very gud role for young women to take on). So dnt get Michelle wrong. She knows dat she cnt let her kids emulate what Beyonce does on stage but everyone knws dat her life outside d industry is almost perfect and lookin at her frm dat angle, she is a role model

Anonymous said...

Lol at Beyonce isn't educated. This just shows you don't know the true meaning of "education " She has a college course named after her. The amount of money she has made you haven't made. She's talented N successful N she's done a lot of charity. People are successful in different areas. Some in degrees. But success is all about influence. N Beyonce is influential. PA I don't have any Beyonce songs or such a fan but I'm stating the facts

you guys are unbelievable.... critics without sense! All these girls/women spewing BS have like 5 or more men in their life at a go... and have slept so more than they can count... imagine what will be exposed if paparazzi follows you 24/7.... but Bey has had no rubbish talks about her, she has lived a very decent life off camera and she has been a hard worker, entertaining like every other entertainer.... So Denzel, Angelina etc are no role model and everyone in entertainment for what they do on set? she
Bey never been seen drunk, drugged, don't sleep around, focused, hardworking, family oriented, she does't hate or talk shit, don't do body surgeries... ohhhh c'mon stone throwers! have a bit of common sense thats all... and stop the black tradition of hating.

Temitope said...

Most people are very daft, she is a role model to young girls definitely. People tend to mix up her stage performers to her personality in person. U guys need to talk about her off stage and if u all did your research well before opening your mouths to talk rubbish, she dresses decently and respectable when not performing. U guys shouldn't just judge someone by what they wear rather you judge them by what they are all about. Beyonce represents something strong and motivating. Guys don't get it twisted.
