    “I Wouldn’t Be Here Without You”: Beyoncé Pays Tribute To Tina Turner After She Was Slammed For Mocking Her Abuse Experience

    Heaven got its queen of rock ‘n’ roll! Tina Turner, who was one of the pioneers of the rock ‘n’ roll movement and the MTV phenomenon, died at the age of 83 in Switzerland. Turner had been suffering from intestinal cancer since 2016. She also had a kidney transplant in 2017. She paved the way for many black women who are flourishing today in the industry, including Beyoncé.

    During her early days after parting ways with Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé emulated Tina Turner a lot. With her afro and shimmery silver gowns, the songstress carried forward her legacy and became one of the most iconic pop stars. Currently, she is on the road promoting her 2022 album, ‘Renaissance.’ Beyoncé paid tribute to the late artist during her Paris show and extended her gratitude towards Turner.

    Though Beyoncé respects Tina Turner, she let Jay-Z insult her in a song. In a verse of their hit ‘Drunk in Love,’ Jay-Z disrespected her with a reference to her abusive relationship with Ike. The verse goes, “I’m Ike, Turner, turn up / Baby no I don’t play / Now eat the cake, Anna Mae / I said eat the cake, Anna Mae.”

    The reference is to an infamous incident that happened with Tina Turner in a diner. When fans spotted the singer, they came to her for an autograph. Along with Tina, her disgraceful husband was also there. When fans did not ask for an autograph from him, he shoved a piece of cake in her mouth and said, “Eat the cake, Anna Mae.” Now, fans are calling out the couple for being insensitive towards the ‘Simply the Best’ singer.
