Though Target is uninterested in selling Beyonce’s new, self-titled album, reportedly due to the project’s exclusive digital content and its surprise release, Walmart seems to have no issues.
Beyonce appeared at a Tweksbury, Massachusetts Walmart on Friday (December 20), where she had a special surprise in store for customers.
“Walmart shoppers: it’s Beyonce!” said the singer over the store’s intercom. “I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. For everyone in the store right now, the first $50 of your holiday gifts are on me. Merry, Merry Christmas.”
However, AllHipHop reports that another major retailer, Amazon, has joined Target’s position of not selling Beyonce. Though Amazon has not released an official statement on the matter, the online retail giant is not directly selling the project, instead only selling through third-party retailers.
Target spokesperson Erica Julkowski spoke on Target’s decision to not sell the album earlier this week. “At Target we focus on offering our guests a wide assortment of physical CDs, and when a new album is available digitally before it is available physically, it impacts demand and sales projections,” she said. “While there are many aspects that contribute to our approach and we have appreciated partnering with Beyonce in the past, we are primarily focused on offering CDs that will be available in a physical format at the same time as all other formats. At this time, Target will not be carrying Beyonce’s new self-titled album Beyonce.”
Beyonce’s ass is too big for me, i like flat asses
50 dollars? That’s it? Lmao
you know how many people were probably in that store…
im sure it added up to more than your hating ass made all year!
50 x 500 = 25000
With her sexy ass! Checkout thegrandreport, they got some good hip hop and viral videos on there
no they dont. only go here if u looking to get a virus
Fifty bucks? lol Cheap skate.
how much do you give out this christmas?
$50 to hundreds of people adds up quick. more than you make in a year i’m sure!
That policy Target has is just a feeble attempt to stave off the inevitable. I haven’t bought a CD in half a decade. I’ll still grab the occasional vinyl but other than that I’ve embraced the digital future.
50 bucks??? What a cheap ass. She’s worth over $100 million all she can do is give out 50 dollar gift cards to a couple hundred ppl? These artist should be giving back ALOT more. We make these artist. We determine who’s big and who’s not. She along with big name rappers, singers whatever should be giving back to the people. To the people that made them who they are now. There’s been too many pimping going on between the artist and the ppl. Fragrances clothes shoes etc. meanwhile America is near hyper inflation and our communities are breaking down due to the senseless music coming out. All I’m saying is give back to the communities and the people that made you
Yo… she didn’t even have to give out anything/be at a Walmart in the middle of Massachusetts. But she showed up and threw stacks on em anyways (as opposed to these rappers at some club). And yo bichass prolly be walkin past homeless people not tryna give some damn change when you make (hopefully)tens of thousands times that a year dawg. get tha fk outta my face with that
actually Jaysup. She did. In fact she had to. Perfect publicity for her and her new album that just coincidently came out. Would she had done this if she didnt have an album out? who knows. But I assume it would be No. Hell no.
trust me she doesnt need any publicity for her album. it will be plat in 3 weeks with zero promo.
you sound ungrateful as fuck saying that shit. nobody should give a shit if it`s for publicity or not, cause guess what.. there’s thousands of ways for her to do publicity. interviews. random twitter situation. getting knocked up again. public appearances without giving out some fuckin gift cards. showing up on oprah, arsenio hall or jimmy kimmel, anything.
but she did this and you’re is implying like she had to do that or somethin which is wack. get that haterade out of your system son
^^ So you bitch think se actually did that out of generosity?
ETK. I don’t give a fuck if this was publicity or not. The fact of the matter is these artist aren’t doing enough for the people. we make them superstars. We make them millionaires and giving 50 dollar gift cards ain’t enough. Why do they only help on thanksgiving and Christmas, it should every fucking day to help us out. They don’t understand their voice to society and how they can change the world. How we can live better, talk better, be better as a society. But they rather have you buy their fragrance at macys for 150 dollars when the unemployment rate is at an all time low and continue to fall each day. & manipulate the masses. That’s real. If you don’t understand, then you need to broaden your brain and think outside the box.
according to fuckbois like you they’re never doing enough for the people because all you fucking talk about is their bank account
it’s their god damn money. they have the right to spend it however they want. they are not obligated to give back to people just because they have it worse, even though they should. but even the idea of giving every day sounds stupid as fuck. get your own money, fuckin media beggar
if I won 30 million in the lottery, I wouldn’t wanna hear motherfuckers tell me I’m not doing enough for the people. no I’m spending that money however the fuck I want. if I do give to charity or people, it’ll be BECAUSE I WANT TO. in this case, it’s what Beyonce wanted to do and she didn’t have to.
think outside the box, fuck outta here with that. complete irony there
Man, Bill Gates was a $500 secret Santa and y’all ain’t complaining about that. Beyonce spends some loot and it’s a cultural issue. Knock it off.
I’m sorry you’re offend by realness ETK. Listen and really think about this shit motherfucker. Everybody needs a little something, and they need to be independent, yeah that’s true but no independent person just grew up and was born independent. You worked and you learned teamwork, and you learned cooperation and unity and struggle, and then you became independent. And we have to teach that and instill that. . I mean, if this is truly a melting pot in the country where we care about people then it really need to be like that. You need to help black kids, Mexican kids, Korean kids, whatever. But it needs to be real and it needs to be before we all die and then you say, “I made a mistake. I should have gave them some money. We really should have helped these folks.” It’s gonna be too late. And then that’s when you’ve gotta pay your own karma. And that’s what God punishes when God punishes you. Cause we gotta survive in this country. & EVEN if they earned it I think that’s good and I think that they deserve it. But even if you earned it, you still owe. Look at me. I don’t have that mega-money. But I feel guilty walking by somebody. I gotta give him some some And if I know I got $3,000 in my pocket, I feel it’s wrong to give that person a quarter or a dollar. It’s wrong. Only you know what you’ve got in your pocket! It’s much bigger than what this is and that’s where your not getting it ETK. I’m not even trying to come off like, I got the answers I’m gonna teach y’all cause nobody is an expert and that’s even not my job to tell people how to. It’s up to you. You have to decide. Each person has to decide. What is it that you can do to help? & I ain’t talking about ONLY on Christmas And Thanksgiving either. I mean every fucking 365 days in a year.
LMAO at niggas sonning ETK fuck ass
you right, but let’s be clear, we have no idea if she does give 24/7 because we ain’t there, but a quick Google search gives you plenty of headlines about charity, visits, and benefits. Somewhere down the line ya gotta ask is it all promotion, or is shorty putting in the work and peoples’ opinions are getting in the way?
Her money ain’t gonna change the school curriculum and taking a homeless person off the street doesn’t fix the unemployment problem.
I get you got a heightened sense of helping out the world, but lemme tell you straight g, you wouldn’t feel bad having 3k or 30k in your pocket if you worked hard for it. or maybe you would, whatever that’s your game. but a lot of people wouldn’t, ESPECIALLY those who worked hard for it. cause they put in a lot to get there.
it’s so easy tellin other people how to spend their money. but who are you to do that? you ain’t tellin Beyonce nothin right now. she got the right to put that money wherever she wants, and this talk bout karma ain’t scarin nobody nigga, she’s been doing her shit for nearly 15 years she paid her dues, God already done talked to her. and considering she HAS donated before, I don’t think God is gonna be slappin her on the wrist too much, you dig.
worry about your own paper and how you can help people your own way. and that keyonce up there shut the fuck up
until I looked at the bank draft which had said $7499, I accept that my sister was like they say realy bringing in money part-time on their apple laptop.. there sisters neighbour had bean doing this 4 only 14 months and a short time ago paid the loans on there place and got a brand new BMW M3. why not check here,,,,,, http://x.co/3TvAF

“$50 to hundreds of people adds up quick. more than you make in a year i’m sure!”
I’m sure you were one of the scrubs who stood there and let Beyonce buy you underwear lol Oh and for the record, I could buy your life with the change under my floor mat.
classic quoteman
“Oh and for the record, I could buy your life with the change under my floor mat.”
^ spoken like a pure breed fvckboy, overlooking:
“how much do you give out this christmas?”
just to let us know how he can “buy your life” while chastising someone has more than him with “Fifty bucks? lol Cheap skate”
“50 x 500 = 25000”
She’s worth almost a billion dollars. Don’t justify her publicity stunt aka tax write off.
who gives a flying fuck how much shes worth. it was still a nice gesture you cynical prick
^^ LOOOOOL nigga fuck outta here with that “nice gesture” bullshit she only did it as a way of saying fuck Target
apparently it was actually 750 people that got $50 gift cards! thats awesome
She lowkey did that because Target didn’t want to sell her album. So she promotes Walmart. Smart move
“who gives a flying fuck how much shes worth. it was still a nice gesture you cynical prick”
Go suck a dick ETK. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
