Beyoncé has established herself as an entertainment icon over the years. From delivering hit after hit with the record sales to prove it, it is easy to see why Coldplay signed Queen Bey to join then alongside Bruno Mars on the Super Bowl 50 stage. Like many artists, Bey has used her platform to speak on societal issues and her anticipated performance caused a huge Twitter war over black culture.

Queen Bey's new song, "Formation," has the Beyhive buzzing. In the song, the songstress speaks about embracing her black culture and highlighting her daughter Blue Ivy's thick hair as well as other rumors that have been circulating about her for years. After her show-stopping performance, one woman made a tweet that immediately caught the attention of Black Twitter who threw nothing but shade.

For quite some time, Blue Ivy's hair has been a controversial topic as has the struggles that African-Americans face in society. It has been widely argued that Caucasians tend to steal pieces of African American culture while putting down black people. In the song, Queen Bey tells us that she embraces her culture and in turn, influences black people (mainly black women) to start to love themselves.

 After her performance, an editor by the name of Michelle Malkin decided to tweet about Queen Bey and ended up rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.

"Cuz nothing brings us all together better than angry @Beyoncé shaking her ass and shouting "Negro" repeatedly. #sb50", "Malkin tweeted.

Once Black Twitter got wind of the tweet, all hell broke loose. If you come for any artist with such a huge fan base all bets are off, especially Queen Bey. SMH. 

WARNING SOME TWEETS CONTAIN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
