Beyonce explains the message of her “Formation” single after performing the cut during her Super Bowl halftime set.
“It makes me proud,” Beyonce says during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. She performed the song for the first time yesterday (February 7) at halftime of Super Bowl 50. “It’s what I wanted,” she adds. “I wanted people to feel proud, have love for themselves.”
On Saturday (February 6), Ebro, an on-air personality for New York radio station Hot 97, dissed “Formation,” which is produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and co-wrotten by Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee.
“They didn’t write that shit,” Ebro said at the time, alleging that the duo use ghostwriters. “Any of it. Maybe some of it. Mike WiLL-Made It—you know that his name is Mike WiLL-Made It? He made that album. They’re Kriss Kross. It was a fabricated thing that we all liked.”
Rae Sremmurd’s Slim Jimmy said that the Hot 97 anchor “is not relevant” and Mike WiLL Made-It said Ebro is “lame as hell.”
As for her Super Bowl performance, which included her delivering a solo set and joining in with Coldplay and Bruno Mars, Beyonce was pleased.
“It felt great,” she said. “The best part was seeing Coldplay, for me ’cause I was able to watch from the back and really enjoy it.”
The interview with Beyonce, who explains the message of her “Formation” single after performing the cut during her Super Bowl halftime set, is as follows:

Will you guys ever see Nas or his wife (if he has one) rock the Super Bowl halftime stage? Hell no, because nobody knows who the fuck he is and he always stumbles over his own lyrics like a drunk bastard. Plus he’s broke as fuck and they don’t allow broke niggas to perform at such an important event. And if people don’t know who Nas is, then they damn sure have no idea who his wife is. HOV and Bey all day! The ROC is in the buildin’!
Nobody knows who Nas is? LOL that statement, along with everything else you said, is a joke. He never stumbled his lyrics and he’s not broke (again, he’s worth $20 million). Plus, Jay Z never hit the halftime show stage. You’re praising him for something he never did. He has nothing to do with what Beyonce is doing at all. Quit the dickriding and quit spreading misinformation.
My, you are a dick handler! Jay fucks w/Nas, so why would your homo ass have a problem with him girlfriend?
Yes, nobody knows who Nas is. Just ask the average person on the street and they’ll be like “Huh? Who’s that?” Yes, he is broke. That $20 million belongs to Kelis, Nas doesn’t have a penny to his name. And he does fuck up his lyrics. Just watch any recent Nas concert, South by Southwest, Rock the Bells, whatever, the nigga even needs a Teleprompter with his lyrics on them at times. LMAO. HOV may have never performed at Super Bowl halftime, but he’s performed at arenas and venues Nas could only dream of rocking. HOV and Beyoncé are in this together, forever. “Part II (On the Run)” solidified that.
Yes, people know who Nas. No, Nas is not broke. Kelis isn’t taking his money since she’s only worth $4 million. Unless you have evidence to back up your claims, then shut it. He never fucked up his lyrics and there was no teleprompter. Your dream of seeing him at a low point isn’t happening no matter how much hate-filled lies you spew out and dickriding Jay Z and his wife isn’t gonna fix that or make them notice you. If Jay Z and Nas read your comments, they’d laugh at how pitiful you are.
Listen HOV can never be broke as Nas, first of all he is a successful business man backed by Beyoncé. Does it matter he didn’t make any money at Def Jam CEO that LA Reid had to get rid of him and the only records that sold under his tenure was Kanye, Jeezy and Nas? Does Nas own .000000001% of a basketball team? Does Nas spouse have enough money that he can run a sports agency in the red because he’s a big sports fanboy? Does Nas run an unsuccessful streaming company and is being back by his spouses money? Does Nas get equal billing and money from tours, with the most famous pop star in the world, and gets to perform in from of 50 year old white women and their tween daughters? HOV is the epitome of success and you Nas stans can’t bear his hard work success!
Hov ever rocked the Superbowl halftime show??? No!!! Why are dissing Nas??? Superbowl halftime is a platform for commercial artists. Beyonce is a superstar on a different level. Way different than Hov, Nas, Rakim, etc…. Calm down Fuck Queensbridge and chill out!!!!
How many times are you gonna repeat that same broke lie? Nas isn’t broke. Get that through your thick head. A quick Google search can help you.
I’m not a fan of Beyonce but I glad she used a big platform to make a message. cant hate on that
Hmmm 1966 Black Panther Party formed…50 years ago. At super bowl 50…she performs in black panther outfits with all black women…that’s as racist as it gets. We black people need to stand up toto the double standard racism in this country. She and her husband are as racist as the next red neck
Yall are taking the ebro quote in regards to rae sremmurd out of context and applying it to beyonce. and co-wrotten isn’t even a word. smh
