Hip hop’s biggest antagonist has been Rush Limbaugh, since Oprah Winfrey has found herself befriending Jay-Z and 50 Cent. This is not the case for Rush Limbaugh, since he has been targeting Jay-Z for some time. Jay-Z’s half a billion dollar net worth may or may not be the source of this hostility.
Lately, Beyonce has been living up to the title of Mrs. Carter. Over the past couple of years, Beyonce’s salary has been more than Jay-Z’s. This will probably be the case again this year, after Beyonce’s $50 million Pepsi deal. But, Beyonce is facing backlash over her new single, “Bow Down.”
Rush Limbaugh caught wind of the song and he decided to analyze it on his conservative radio show. Given Rush Limbaugh’s analysis, it is clear he has yet to hear the song. In his depiction, Rush Limbaugh wrongly said the song shows Beyonce promoting women to indeed “bow down” to their men, the opposite of her Destiny’s Child songs.
Read Rush Limbaugh’s words below:
“Their (Destiny’s Child) songs were attempts to inspire young women not to take any grief from men. She’s done a 180. Beyoncé, now having been married, having been impregnated and giving birth to Blue Ivy, she’s going out on a new tour. And they may as well call it the ‘Bow Down Bitch Tour. She’s got a new song … a total 180. Beyoncé is now saying, ‘Go ahead and put up with it.’ Because she married a rich guy. She’s even calling herself Mrs. Carter on the tour. She now understands it’s worth it to bow down.”
