Keyshia Calls Beyonce A Hypocrite for ‘Bow Down’ Lyrics

keyshia cole-calls beyonce hypocrit for bow down song-the jasmine brand

Well, one thing is for sure, whether her opinions are popular or not, singer Keyshia Cole is not afraid to speak her mind. And use twitter as a platform. You’ll recall, the 30-year-old mother caught heat after criticizing Michelle Williams’ Super Bowl performance on twitter. And that’s not the first time that she’s said some not so nice things about a few folk on twitter. She called out her own sister, Neffie, for mentioning her in her memoir. She’s snapped on controversial radio personality, Charlamagne the God, and the list goes on and on. So who caught her twitter wrath today? Beyonce Knowles Carter. In short, Keyshia is not a fan of the overall lyrics of her new single, ‘Bow Down’. In the song, Bey sings:

I know when you were little girls, you dreamt of being in my world, don’t forget it, respect that, bow down b*tches.

Well, Keyshia has a response to Bey’s ‘Bow Down’ request and quite frankly, she suggests that Beyonce is quite the hypocrite lyrically. Keyshia wrote:

Can’t stand when people all self righteous when it’s convenient it makes them look good. Lmao! But can still talk sh*t when convenient 2 FOH. First “Women need to Stick together” now b*tches better Bow. Smh. But it’s all G! Chicks stay shooting the sh*t. But when I speak my mind its a prob. #Well #StayMad.. I done kept it real from the start! #RespectTHAT..

After a few twitter followers responded to her comments, saying that she was hating, she continued:

Never said there was any. IM not in denial… God Bless..How am i hating? no Mamm or sir. whatever u may be. No H8.

What do you think of Keyshia’s comments? Is she being UBER critical because she has an issue with Beyonce’s Destiny’s Child colleague, Michelle Williams? Or do you agree with her comments–are Beyonce’s ‘Bow Down’ lyrics hypocritical to her ‘girl power’ image?

    I had to come out of my no gossip hiatus for this one! lol First of all, I’m not a KC fan so I wouldn’t know for sure but is she even still relevant? I only know she is going to be on Fallon tonight because of her Twitter-Hating, and that was a surprise to me because I didn’t think she was still putting out music.. WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE THEIR PANTIES IN A BUNCH OVER THIS SONG!? What I hate about the ppl who fake like they aren’t ever impressed with Beyonce’s work is they are THEE FIRST ONES to talk about it online. They claim they don’t like her but they are on top of every new song, performance, announcement, etc. You aint foolin’ nobody! Now I can understand why every day Jo Shmo’s might hate on Beyonce. But Keyshia Cole is successful in her own right. She is talented, beautiful, and blessed. So why would she take her self 5 steps backwards throwing shade on Twitter. What could she gain by doing that? Nothing. The only people entertained by that negativity are negative ppl. They say a hit dog hollars. So maybe KC felt that those lyrics were coming at her or something. Maybe she thought Beyonce was telling her to bow down. Maybe she should listen!

      I think society is so delusional. It actually scares me how much ppl literally WORSHIP Beyonce. So much so, that ppl are calling her Beysus! Wtf!? OD! Folks went from Queen Bey, to King Bey, to got damn Beysus!? Anywho, what does being “relevant” have to do with anything??? So unless you’re making a whole bunch of money and/or are constantly in the public eye, you’re not relevant??? I’ll admit that KC has def fell off, but we are all entitled to our opinions…especially when so many of us support these celebrities and help them to where they are today; which touches on the point KC was making. How you go from “girl power” to calling the very ppl that supported you, throwing the support in their faces, and saying “bow down bitch”??? Ummm, no. I actually like the song and I’m sure KC does too, but the issue isn’t with the song, it’s with WHO is singing the song and Beyonce is soooo not “’bout that life”. Or at least from what she’s portrayed throughout her career. Finally, just because someone does not agree with what someone does, how or why they do it, does NOT make them a hater. That’s just plain and stupid logic. Keyshia Cole was speaking the truth. Period.

        Obviously some ppl here have not listened to the song. She is not telling women everywhere to bow to her. She is talking to the women that hate or dislike her but secretly want to be in her shoes. This song is dedicated her jealous haters, not her fans, or even people that just don’t like her. I think the only people are offended are the ones that think she is talking to them.

        I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU^! So true Keyshia just clearly stated how she felt about the song which everybody is going to have they on opinion about because I have one “I DON’T LIKE IT” Beyonce calling people Bitc!! and Bow down…WHAT…REALLY…that is not the imagine you give off. You kicking it with the president and the first lady is saying you are a role model then you come out with a song like this. I think Keyshia is awesome for speaking her opinion – continue keeping it real Keyshia.

    It’s crazy that Keyshia even responded. Is just music. Hypocrisy would be the fact that Keyshia claims she is all in love but continuously makes this man bashing music. It’s just music. And it’s an expression. Beyonce is the queen. Hands down. It’s just a fun song. Get over it Keyshia. Spend your free time on some singing lessons.

    • LiveALittle at 3:29 pm

      Precisely, KC has made a living off of bitter women and continues to do so, all while living her life with a family of her own.

    Listen, we all have a little KC and Beyonce’ Carter in us. But what makes us who we are, is how we react to what people say and do. No matter what KC says about Beyonce’, her sister, or anyone else, sometimes its something else going on within that individual which makes them find fault in others.
    Maybe there is something going on with Beyonce’ that is making her change her game up, who knowns. But what we all should know, is that they are grown, they will have to accept whatever backlash comes from whatever happens to them, whether it’s this or something else.
    So what, Beyonce’ made a song that is not in her usual content; so what Keyisha feels as though someone is trying to glorify themselves, its a money making venture on both of their parts.

    Beyonce’ will get listener’s that didn’t listen before, and Keyisha will get $$$$ for her appearance on whatever talk show wants her to talk.

    If we have not learned anything about being famous, we have to realize its about money or they wouldn’t be where they are. Keyisha has her way, Beyonce has her way. Let it rest.

    If Beyonce’ new producers mess this us for her by giving her a new genre, then guess what, she will learn; if Keyshia gets whipped with the tongue about her comments about everyone and everything, guess what she will learn. That’s what life is; a learning tool. Now go to school.

  18. Bresha at 10:09 pm

    I’m really disgusted by Bey’s new song. Keyshia is absolutely right. You can’t “run the world” with us one day and the next, tell us to “bow down.” This song honestly damages her reputation as a role model to me. Fame gets the best of everyone…

    Keshia hates her sister, mother and anyone else she lays her eyes on. It is a SONG NOT THE BIBLE. Queen B does not even have to respond to something like esha or Keshia whoever she is.

    • Lez at 6:01 pm

      Well her mom, her sister, and this song is a mess, so I don’t think it’s Keisha that is the problem. She’s just saying what most people are thinking.

    I had to return to catch up on the comments….and whooooa! Let me add my piece. The song plain WACK forget about the B wrd and her telling YALL, yes YALL to bow down to her the song sucks. Period….Point Blank

  21. NubianD417 at 5:37 pm

    Beyonce is being triflin’ and Keyshia called her on it. Whether she had a string of #1 hits or she sings at the local train station, Keyshia had ever right to say what she feels about that lil tune. Beyonce was DEAD WRONG for that diddy she recorded and had the nerve to released it for all the world to hear. This chick, Beyonce/Sasha Fierce/whoever the hell… is singing, calling people female dogs…really? The lil diddy is TRASH in every sense of the word and people should be looking at Mrs. Carter in a whole new light.#whothehelldouthinkuare

    • DIVA at 6:15 pm

      I agree^. Everybody getting mad at Keyshia but to be honest Keyshia is the only one in the industry that had the balls to call Beyonce out on the song so the “Applause goes to Keyshia” for speaking out. Beyonce had no write recording a song like that calling women Bit@!!! and that they need to bow down…WOW…dont have anymore words for this topic.

  22. TruthSpokenSoftly at 11:05 pm

    Bottom line everyone. Beyonce isn’t the same one who we’ve seen in destiny’s child etc. How do you come from a christian family, and called people bitches… or even throw up the illuminati sign at a superbowl where children are present? Just because Key. hasn’t come out with any new stuff doesn’t mean she is irrelevant, she has a family now, a husband, and might be working on some new stuff, she is still talented, and beautiful etc. She was right for tweeting that shit yo. Because so many people over-look things, and are afraid to say what’s on their mind. If this song is “directed” to people who so-called hate on Beyonce. You are a role model why must you even acknowledge your “haters” if you don’t care bout them.? lol I don’t even listen to Bey anymore because she has simply lost focus, and using her talent in the wrong way.

  23. kizxxo at 4:02 am

    Clearly, Beyonce wasnt bashing her fans or those who support her. C’mon now. If you are a true fan of Beyonce you would know that she’s a humble down to earth person just like many of us. Okay, she used bitch in her lyrics, but I’m sure if anyone like Rihanna or some other artist came out with this song, everyone would be singing it with no problem. She’s being herself. Personally, I could care less if she used bitch or not. Im still.going to rock to her songs.

    Yall really need to stop with that illumaniti crap. Did it ever occur to you that this is the real Beyonce? I know it’s hard to believe…but deal with it. Yall get all up in arms when these people “step our of character” without even realizing that the “character” they’re stepping out of is actually the impostor. Let that chick live. She’s kept up the good Christian girl act for long enough. Chill out.

    I rarely comment on most posts because for the most part it seems that most individuals aren’t adults, but simple teenagers whose frontal lobes haven’t fully developed so their opinions are very immature, and underdeveloped. Keisha Cole is ignorant, plain and simple. Her past indescretions will attest to that. Now, I do like some of her music, however one of the reasons she isn’t as successfull as she would like is because she has difficulty letting go of her hoodrat past and grow. Growth is a necessary vessel for all to experience. As far as Beyonce is concerned, she is a 31 year old woman, she can drop the b word if she desires. The lack of comprehension skills is a clear indicator as to why most post interpret this song as something she would say to her fans. She is CLEARLY speaking to those who constant complain out her ruling the charts and selling out arenas (i.e. K. Cole, Keri Hilson, etc…) The woman took two years off, get your weight up or BOW DOWN B*#ches!

  28. Stormy at 5:01 pm

    Oh, additionally, I am soooo sick of uneducated women masking or calling their lack of tact and intelligence “keeping it real”. No you are not keeping it real. You lack self control, the ability to express yourself, and couth. Grow up already. I am a big fan of Mary J. Blige. She is a prime example of how when you know better, you do better. You make changes and advancements towards being a better you. I remember when K. Cole, refused to give Mary her proper dues. She is very talented, but very misguided. She needs someone to help refine her and take some of the edge off. I respect a good ghetto come up story like the rest, however you can not remain in that mentality.

    haters!!! everybody can sing about what ever they want but as soon as bey does everybody losing their minds she was just telling all the haters which she has plenty of them to not forget she is the queen. it s ok for people to say things about her but if she says something everybody goes crazy!!! she is human she was not talking to her fans only the haters and they all came out when she made this song!!! bow down bitches!!!!!

  30. flower at 5:41 pm

    Bey has been an inspiration to all women and young girls out there, we actually luk up to her and she’s been setting a good example unlike most celebrities. I agree with Keisha completely on this one, some people might think she’s hating but that’s the way it is, there’s no better way of putting it Bey is being a hypocrite here big time. This isn’t the Bey we know but if that’s the knew her, then she will lose quit a lot of fans… It actually really hurts to know that this wud b her out of all people… Wow Bey I guess u truely dd back with a bang, don’t think u shud b proud of it thou

    I honestly think that people are siding with Keyshia Cole just to be different from the rest of the world. Let’s get something straight, the ONLY reason that Keyshia even had something to say was because she assumed that the song was about her. Even if it was about her, Beyonce is not telling Keyshia to literally “bow down” but to simply give credit when it is due. Keyshia wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for people like Beyonce who helped rejuvenate the R&B/Pop genre that Keyshia Cole also is a part of! And for you foolish people who think that she is telling her fans to bow down to her…why would she tell us to bow down to her? We are the ones buying her music! Use your heads, she is referring to the women in the industry who like to hate on her but don’t credit her for being a great entertainer.
