Coldplay (with Beyoncé cameo!)'s new song "Hymn for the Weekend" is getting lots of attention, and not all of it is good. The video, which was shot in India, features fire breathers, holy men, and Queen Bey as a very fancy Bollywood actress. It has started to receive criticisms of cultural appropriation.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with the video. Its just a video with a definite theme, which had to be followed. But then, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and its actually good publicity for the song, after all, it just made me watch the video now.

Abeg they should have several seats!!! If anything, the videos celebrates their rich culture!
Abeg. Na dem sabi. The video is cool just because Yonce is in it. Other wise people would not be talking about it. If it were only Coldplay
Good song

Jealousy people

Enter your comment...Queen bey, she is superb. like it or not d song dey chop moni and her fame kip growing.
Na dem sabi...twitter have given weak pple mouth to insult pple above them...
Coldplay is finished as a band.
Teaming up with pop stars like Beyonce. Why won't their art reduce.
I miss the days of 'a rush of blood to the head' when coldplay could actually sing.
Ok
Next pls.
More Drama to come
Kikikikiki
Is it? I like the theme
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Na dem sabi
unto the next one
Gbam!! Abeg listen to the music and enjoy
World people can never be pleased. I thought that video was very beautiful, one of the best videos I've seen from coldplay and a very nice song too. It just showcased the beauty of India and our cultural diversity. Those criticising it only helps to show that we are all loosing our culture, we only thing something is beautiful if it meets up to the western standard. What a shame
Drama left and right
Hehehhehehe...wahala dey
~make I go drink one bottle of beer~
Ok seen
Linda pls sometimes ur tweet post aren't clear.#strainingmyeyes
Dia own cup of moi moi...I dey cook rice for my wife linda,b4 she gets back frm church...
They should all go and have several seats joor!
Lol where is Indian? And who are those talking? Back seat is free
With all these drama, she will still make her millions from the song. Na them sabi jare
Haven't seen the video and am not Indian so I can't comment yet

These are disingenuous attempts to go tit for tat against black people for discussing cultural appropriation in the first place. They're using Beyonce to silence black people about our valid point on how we're constantly substituted in what we create without being given proper credit as originators and innovators.
Like their opinion will stop the sell of the video though.
Thank u o thank u u they r just looking for attention
Indians too are talking, don't they dance on d street, n hv snake like character? At least we watch that in their movies. Beyonce oya tweet back.
Mtcheww,dr own palava
They show the same things in their movies so why complain?
Awon aye! Linda take note!
It is a part of dia culture dat dos nt mn dat is al dey re abou. Den i can safely assume that everyone in Nigeria goes to a babalawo bcos dat is wat we see in d movies
#*karlishah*
Crazy people would always talk....india people complaining they are assuming they always dance on the street but that's what I see in the videos... people complain all the damn time
People will always talk. So just move on and do your thing.
#LIB ADDICT#
Mtchewwww
