We’re almost in tears right now. Only die-hard Destiny’s Child fans would understand the significance of this moment. There’s obviously no bad blood between Beyonce and her former Destiny’s Child bandmate, LeToya Luckett-Walker.

The two singers were pictured up close and personal at Beyoncé and JAY-Z‘s OTR II Tour in Arlington, Texas.

This is the first time the pair have been photographed together since Luckett was ousted from the all-girl group 18 years ago.

The adorable photo where Beyoncé embraced Letoya’s pregnant belly, was uploaded to Beyoncé‘s website on Tuesday. The next day, LeToya shared the photo on Instagram and captioned it “Love. ♥

Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Lawson, also took to Instagram to congratulae Letoya on her pregnancy.

“Congratulations LeToya you are gonna be the best mommy,” Tina wrote.

LeToya, was one of the original members of Destiny’s Child, the record-breaking group that gave us hit songs such as: Bills, Bills, Bills and Bug-a-boo.

The former DC member, recently revealed that she left the group kicking and screaming but also said, that she has nothing but love and support for her former band mates.

LeToya told Rolling Stone last May,“I’m so proud of every single lady that was a part of DC. We’re all in support of each other, we’re all grown, all doing our own things.”

“I be out here stanning. Kelly is everywhere. Bey, I don’t know how she does it all, creating crazy visual albums and then you’re gonna carry two human beings at the same time? She’s awesome.”

Hopefully there will be a DC reunion in future cos we still stan hard for the girls.

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Released a Joint Surprise Album while on Tour! https://queenmoremi.com/2018/06/beyonce-jay-z-released-a-joint-surprise-album-while-on-tour/ Sun, 17 Jun 2018 20:17:44 +0000 http://queenmoremi.com/?p=2311 Just last night, Beyonce did what she does best- send us all scampering about looking for our wigs because she had just snatched them! She and her rapper beau, Jay-Z…]]> Just last night, Beyonce did what she does best- send us all scampering about looking for our wigs because she had just snatched them! She and her rapper beau, Jay-Z announced the release of their joint album to their excited fans while performing during their On The Run II tour. The album entitled, Everything is Love, like Lemonade, is all the Black culture we need and then some.

According to ESSENCE, the 9-track collaboration comprises verses from both of the superstar entertainers on each song, with lyrical messaging centered around celebrating all things Black culture as only they can. One run through of the debut joint effort hears the duo reference everything from the beauty of Black love, to police brutality, to their naysayers, to mass incarceration, to ESSENCE Fest and much more.

Upon announcing the release, a visual for one of album’s single was made public. Entitled, APESHIT, it features powerful African imagery accompanied by French art in The Louvre Palace in Paris. They rented out the Louvre fot the video. How awesome is that? The location is home to some of the most precious works of art in the whole world. If that doesn’t say black excellence, I’m not sure what does.

The album is also a family affair as word on the streets is that their daughter, Blue Ivy, also makes a cameo on one of the tracks, sending shout outs to her twin siblings, Sir and Rumi Carter.

Oh what a time to be alive! Although Beyonce is steadily trying to force feed Jay down our throats, we’ll forgive her this time around. We stan a supportive wife and we love our favourite musical duo. Suddenly we’re reminded who we’ve crowned hip-hop’s power couple. We’re getting our lives!

Yasss!

Beyonce is BACK and badder than ever before. Queen Bey made history at Coachella Beychella on Saturday, becoming the first Black woman to headline the music festival.

You may recall that Bey was supposed to headline last year’s festival, but canceled due to doctor’s orders, because she was pregnant with twins (Sir and Rumi Carter) at the time. Her performance was so worth the wait! And gosh Bey’s post-pregnancy snapback game is out of this world. We need her to show us the way.

Okay, so in case you don’t know what “Coachella” is girls, Wikipedia and Google are your friends: The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. The event features musical artists from many genres of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures.

So back to the matter: Beyonce’s performance. It was two hours long. Two whole hours of amazing performances back-to-back. Her hubby, Jay-Z and sister, Solange made appearances.

But most importantly, there was a Destiny’s Child reunion! This was by far our favourite part of the entire performance.

Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland looked and sounded great but we think it would have been even more epic if original band members Letoya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson were added to the mix. Now, THAT would have been THE reunion of a lifetime.

Here are other highlights we loved:

  • “Crazy in Love” performance in which she was accompanied by a New Orleans-style brass marching band. It was a fresh take on the song
  • The step dancers during her performance of songs on the “Lemonade” album. EPIC
  • Nina Simone tribute and Malcolm X Quotes
  • When Beyonce and her band paid homage to Fela Kuti

Beyoncé and Jay-Z will kick off their joint “On the Run II” tour this summer, and we can’t wait.
