Jack White was greeted with a bouquet of flowers recently. They were from Beyoncé.
On Tuesday, the musician shared a photo of the (literal) flowers Beyoncé sent him after she released her album Cowboy Carter, and they included a sweet note acknowledging how he inspired her new record.
“I just wanted you to know how much you inspired me on this record,” Beyoncé wrote, signing it: “Sending you my love.”
White shared a photo of the flowers on her Instagram, thanking Queen Bey for the gesture.

From the start of Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé makes it clear this ain’t your typical country album. Opening epic “Ameriican Requiem” is part gospel, part-Queen, part-Buffalo Springfield as the artist lays out both her intentions and lineage. “Used to say I spoke ‘Too country’/And the rejection came, said I wasn’t ‘country ‘nough’/Said I wouldn’t saddle up/But if that ain’t country, tell me what is?” she sings from the gut, after listing off her bona fide country credentials.

A version of this response appeared on the Black Rock Coalition’s website.
When Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner made offensive comments in The New York Times about women and Black artists, the Black Rock Coalition, which has battled stereotypes and musical categorizations about what rock is “supposed to be” since 1985, felt obligated to speak out and condemn his misogynistic and racist statements. While we were among many organizations and individuals to call out Wenner, he also had a number of supporters, citing his contributions to popular culture and to the world of music journalism.

Los Angeles, Aug 15 (Ians) Tina Knowles shut down rumours that her daughter Beyonce travels with personal toilet seats while on tour.
“That is so ridiculous,” the mom of two told TMZ, reports pagesix.com.
Tina explained that the leaked backstage picture of a black container labeled “Beyonce Toilet Seats” was merely a part of the singer’s Renaissance World Tour set.
“Those are stands that you put fans on, they’re called toilet seats,” she said.
Tina, 69, added that the idea of her daughter requesting her own custom toilet seat for the bathroom was “too much”.
The rumours about Beyonce’s tour rider started earlier this month when a source told the US Sun that the “Cuff It” hitmaker can get anything she wants.
“Beyonce is such an elite performer she can literally request anything,” the insider claimed.

Beyoncé’s mom is defending her from the rumour mill.
During a recent stop in Boston on her Renaissance World Tour, Beyoncé raised some eyebrows when she omitted Lizzo’s name from the song “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)”.

Lizzo is one of a number of artists named in the lyrics to the song, which the singer has performed regularly on the tour, including Lauryn Hill, Betty Davis and her sister Solange Knowles.
Many took the omission of Lizzo’s name as a reaction to the news earlier that day that the “About Damn Time” singer was being sued by three former backup dancers with claims of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment.

Since hip-hop's inception, the culture has been a male-dominated space. Women have had to fight for their right to exist alongside their male peers, exercise autonomy over their bodies, and rap without restrictions. It's no secret that the culture of hip-hop is inherently fueled by misogyny and patriarchy; female rappers have been ostracized, while their male counterparts stand to gain. But in recent years, an influx of women rappers have emerged, ushering in a resurgence of sexually explicit lyrics that have jolted mainstream music, social media, and even politics. Yes, women in music have always talked about their sexual prowess; women rappers are simply continuing a long and strong tradition of Black women loudly reclaiming their own sexuality, most notably under the umbrella of "pussy rap."

Beyoncé’s back-to-back nights at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this past weekend were two of the most star-studded shows of the Renaissance tour thus far. Greta Gerwig and America Ferrera watched the show from risers, while singer and songwriter Kehlani was close enough to the stage to snap a selfie with Beyoncé. Laverne Cox attended both nights and penned a heartfelt, revelatory caption about how the concert made her feel born again. Also in the audience was Madonna, who received a shoutout from one queen to another.

Gabrielle Union’s Jenna Jones stumbles upon a forbidden love in more ways than one in the Netflix adaptation of Tia Williams’ book “The Perfect Find.”
Shortly after landing a job under her old fashion world nemesis Darcy Hale (Gina Torres), Jenne meets Eric Combs (Keith Powers) at a party and kisses him. She learns the next day that Eric is Darcy’s 22-year-old son as well as her new coworker at Darzine, Darcy’s fashion magazine. Jenna has just entered her forties, so the age gap between the two of them is glaring.
“Jenna’s focus was basically self-love in a nutshell, but when every way that you validate yourself is taken from you, and you have to figure out who the hell you are and what you do want what you don’t want, ‘What is joy to you, has it changed?’” Union told TheWrap. “Once she gets on that path,...
