Beyonce gave an interview to Vibe Magazine for their May 8th issue, and MTV/VH1 has the inside scoop. In the interview, Beyonce reveals her frustrations with tabloids, gossip, and general criticism. Though she generally avoids the radio and Internet, she can't help but come across criticisms occasionally.
"If it's something about my sister or my nephew or it's something evil, then yes, I'm upset," she explained. "I wanna kill somebody. If it's a rumor that's vindictive, or something harmful, or something everybody's believing that is completely not true, then it's frustrating because there's nothing you can do about it. If someone misquotes you, or says some complete lie, and then they go back and retract that, people still don't believe you didn't say it. ... So sometimes it hurts. Sometimes I wanna cry. Sometimes I wanna scream. Sometimes I wanna curse people out."
She added, "Everybody messes with celebrities. At a point, you just have to decide if you really want it. If you do, you have to have a tough skin. And after you get a certain amount of success, you have no choice. Either you're gonna turn to other things to take away the pain you feel, or you have to deal with it and move on."
I heard a rumor that Beyonce is really hot and is an amazingly talented singer. Hopefully she doesn't get mad that I'm sharing that.
The article also mentions some of Beyonce's alleged feuds, including one with Rihanna. I bring this up not to perpetuate an unsubstantiated rumor, but because I will take any excuse possible to post Rihanna's new "Umbrella" video.
This calls for a dance off, with some help on the introductions from Jay-Z...
Beyonce, take it away.
Rihanna, you're up.
Gonna have to go with Rihanna in this battle. But the war is far from over.
