Noname has taken down her tweet comparing Beyoncé to civil rights activist Angela Davis.
In the post originally shared on Wednesday (June 24), the Chicago rhymer said she wished Davis got the same love as the global superstar – which many found to be an invalid comparison. Seemingly seeing the criticism, Noname initially doubled down on her sentiments.
“It’s cool seeing all the Angela Davis threads denouncing the need for idol worship and highlighting how celebrity is a capitalist project which Dr. Davis is fundamentally against,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “big facts. I still wish the world stopped and listened when she spoke the way it does for others.”
The removal follows Noname’s apology for causing “distraction” by releasing “Song 33,” her rebuttal to J. Cole’s polarizing track “Snow On Tha Bluff.”
“i’ve been thinking a lot about it and i am not proud of myself for responding with song 33,” Noname wrote in a series of tweets on Sunday (June 21). “I tried to use it as a moment to draw attention back to the issues i care about but i didn’t have to respond. my ego got the best of me. i apologize for any further distraction this caused.”
But she didn’t remove the song and vowed to donate a portion of the funds to “various mutual aid funds.”

“madlib killed that beat and i see there’s a lot of people that resonate with the words so i’m leaving it up but i’ll be donating my portion of the songs earnings to various mutual aid funds,” she wrote in tweets that are also now deleted. “black radical unity.”

Fuck – She Right tho
If she had any respect before this goofy ass comment she just lost all of it. Beyoncé ain’t ever did shit for the community, how the fuk is she like Angela Davis? These new niggas kill me
Did u read the article or just stopped at the headline?
Uh shes a satanist bitch that does nothing but pollute the culture
The problem is we worship celebrity. The black people that are smart don’t seem to get much of a looking in the black community. We worship the dumb rappers and the ghetto mindset. Smart blacks are often seen as sellouts or uncle Tom’s. Even though uncle Tom was a hero. Go figure.
Shut the fuck up you white piece of shit.
Oooooh Switch hit a nerve on the sensitive affirmative action baby. Lol! It’s not just whites looking at how ridiculous and sensitive the “activist” or over grown children, whatever you guys call yourself, are acting. Decent conservative blacks realize you get to be successful by working hard not looting and burning shit down like thugs.
This bitch with the weird nostrils better watch out, these ravenous droves of mindless pop fans don’t fuck around. She’ll get kkkancelled kkkwikkk
I had to scroll back up to see WTF you were talking about… LMFAOOOO
the term “civil rights activist” sure has gone thru quite an inflation throughout history, when in 2020 iIIuminutty puppets like Beyonce are considered such.
This chick better quit whatever she’s smoking before its too late. She’s taken her comparisons too far this time.
Uh no you guys are proving literally nothing lmao you guys CREATE racism by FEEDING into it you are all fighting for fuck all being used as a weapon for the RACIST ones you are all fighting supposedly against. White privilege? Oh because white people have everything handed to them? Need I to remind you dumb ducks there’s a 1 percenters club out there extorting all of you not to mention they find BLM yet they are racist white billionaires Lmao you guys are all fried we are ALL in this together there a lot more happening then your little BLM movement we all pay fucking taxes to the shit system that enslaves ALL of us HUMANS stop doing what they want ya too unless ya just want to be known for the hurde of sheep that brought on the new world order
Those billionaires aren’t white but ethnic joos.
People as ignorant and blind as they are surely wouldn’t know the difference let alone care
I always wondered if anybody thought about how the hell BLM gets funded. Like they appeared right before the ’16 election, go on a 4 year hiatus…then 6 months before the next election, here they are again. Am I supposed to believe that in the last 4 years BLM found no issues between the black community and the police…and Floyd was just the straw that broke the camels back 4 years later? BLM is literally a campaign tool for Democrats…They tried so hard to get the prez to kill someone in seattle with that nonsense takeover but they didn’t get their desired outcome, so now just tell them to go home. I’m no Trump guy, i just see the manipulation by politicians on both sides and i hate it, cuz they manipulate real people in the world to hate each other
Beyhive was about to drag her ass LOL
