Beyonce announced during the Super Bowl that she will be releasing a country music album and Azealia Banks thinks her move into the genre is “lazy.”
“I love you…but them r&b runs over the leslie feist back beats is giving pickmesha… . Nothing country about it,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.
She continued. “You’re setting yourself up to be ridiculed again. There’s a theatrical element to country music !!! Them critics are not just going to accept an ugly blond wig and bullying from jay-z !!! It’s giving big time musical grift… [Y]ou’re just really not hitting the button.”
Bey is not the only mainstream artist who made the move into country music. K. Michelle made the move a few years ago but she did not take the country music world by storm.
“K.michelle this is your turn to really execute,” Banks wrote. “It’s no shade but K Michelle truly understands the assignment… Beyoncé…you will gag when k Michelle tears it.”
