Today is a monumental day! Beyonce is celebrating 45 Years on this earth, and the world is celebrating the 20th Anniversary release of B’Day.

The day started with Beyonce digitally wiping her official website and posting only a birthday cake. With the new release, we finally got the release of previously controlled, but refreshed songs Creole, Back Up, and Lost Yo Mind. While the songs were released years ago, they were only available on various different versions of the album. The new versions have fans in heavy conversations on whether they are pitched down in the studio, or rerecorded. But what do you think? Stream below!

Along with those tracks, we have previously unreleased song, “Can I Watch You” feat. Pharrell Williams, and the current single “Morning Dew“. Morning Dew, which was previously leaked as “Donk“, is currently sitting at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming her 107th Billboard Hot 100 chart history. The song was surprised released on July 4th, and had a remix released weeks ago featuring Jay Z.

Also on the album, we got a fresh new remix of Cuerpo (Tumbao) feat Maluma, Irreemplazable (Como La Flor) feat Selena. and Get Me Bodied (Timbaland Remix) feat Voltio.

Beyonce is rumored to make an appearance in London today, during Jay Z’s concert run. Talk about being fed!

The Carters have done it again, and we are NOT complaining!

Last month, in honor of Beyonce’s upcoming 20th Anniversary of B’Day, she went into her vault and blew the dust off of her leaked song “Donk”. Now many of us know this song to be a scrapped song from the Self Titled era. Well the song had leaked online a couple years back, and many of us agreed we understood why it didn’t make the album.

Well it looks like Bey said “Stop leaking my shit when I’m not done with it“, because she most certainly flipped the song around, added a verse, some stacked backgrounds, and made us shut our fat mouths. And now, she’s done it again. She’s flipped the beat, added Jay, and we couldn’t be more excited. Get into it below!

Ok, let’s be honest…it’s really Blue Ivy’s tour. Our girl came out the gates serving, and eating up the stage.

Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit tour in Los Angeles on Monday, delivering a nearly three-hour performance that proved it certainly ain’t Queen Bey’s first rodeo.

The concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood was a celebration of Southern Black culture, freedom of expression and Beyoncé’s own family, with appearances by her two daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter.

Beyonce is no stranger to the NAACP Image Awards, as she has won 2 at this years preshow for Outstanding Female Artist and Outstanding Album of the Year (Cowboy Carter). This brings her total to 27 NAACP Image Awards throughout her career. She still has one nomination to be announced, which is 16 Carriages in the Outstanding Soul/R&B Song category.

But Bey isn’t the only one going home with a trophy. Blue Ivy Carter, won tonight for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance (Motion Picture) for Mufasa: The Lion King.

The Image Awards, which honor the year’s best in Black achievement and excellence, will continue Friday with a Creative Arts ceremony ahead of Saturday’s main ceremony at the Pasadena Civic Center, airing live on BET and CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Whew what a night for the Beyhive! Lets just say this era, we are being FED! Queen Bey was correct when she stated that she moves at her own pace, and when she does….we EAT!

Last night she was spotted at one of her favorite spots in Mayfair, Harry’s Bar! She often stops by the local spot when she’s in the area, and this trip is no different. Check out the photos below.

In true Beyonce fashion, as of late… when she is spotted by paparazzi…she posts the outfit.

Oh but that’s not it! She may be overseas, but America…. America Has A Problem! And now we have a remix. The surprise drop last night features the Grammy Award/Pulitzer Prize winning, critically acclaimed Kendrick Lamar. Check it out below.

Beyonce was spotted earlier today in Sardinia, Italy, as she had lunch at Hotel Cala di Volpe. Check out the photos in the gallery.

Pregnancy & Body Acceptance

After the birth of my first child, I believed in the things society said about how my body should look. I put pressure on myself to lose all the baby weight in three months, and scheduled a small tour to assure I would do it. Looking back, that was crazy. I was still breastfeeding when I performed the Revel shows in Atlantic City in 2012. After the twins, I approached things very differently.

I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth to Rumi and Sir. I was swollen from toxemia and had been on bed rest for over a month. My health and my babies’ health were in danger, so I had an emergency C-section. We spent many weeks in the NICU. My husband was a soldier and such a strong support system for me. I am proud to have been a witness to his strength and evolution as a man, a best friend, and a father. I was in survival mode and did not grasp it all until months later. Today I have a connection to any parent who has been through such an experience. After the C-section, my core felt different. It had been major surgery. Some of your organs are shifted temporarily, and in rare cases, removed temporarily during delivery. I am not sure everyone understands that. I needed time to heal, to recover. During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be. After six months, I started preparing for Coachella. I became vegan temporarily, gave up coffee, alcohol, and all fruit drinks. But I was patient with myself and enjoyed my fuller curves. My kids and husband did, too.
