Republican Mike Huckabee Calls Beyonce’s Music “Toxic Mental Poison”

    The relationship between Brooklyn, New York rapper Jay Z and his wife, Beyonce is one of a number of topics discussed in politician Mike Huckabee’s new book, “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy.”

    In an excerpt from the book, obtained by U.S. News, Huckabee appears to praise Beyonce while criticizing Jay Z. He addressed the pair while sharing his thoughts on their performance at the 2013 Grammy Awards.

    “My reaction: Why? Beyonce is incredibly talented – gifted, in fact,” Huckabee says in his book, according to U.S. News. “She has an exceptional set of pipes and can actually sing. She is a terrific dancer – without the explicit moves best left for the privacy of her bedroom. Jay-Z is a very shrewd businessman, but I wonder: Does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object?”

    The critique by Huckabee doesn’t serve as the first time the high-profile couple has received criticism for their actions. In 2013, Beyonce and Jay Z were criticized by Florida Senator Marco Rubio after taking a trip to Havana, Cuba.

    Months after their Cuba trip, a sit-down between the couple and Harry Belafonte was called for after the musician criticized Jay Z and Beyonce for turning “their back on social responsibility.” It is unclear if a sit-down with Belafonte was ever scheduled.

    Mike Huckabee’s “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy” is scheduled for release later this month.

    Update: People magazine reports that Republican Mike Huckabee describes Beyoncé’s music as “obnoxious and toxic mental poison in the form of song lyrics” in his upcoming book, God, Guns, Grits and Gravy. People also reports that during an interview with the publication about his book, Huckabee criticized the Obamas for allowing their daughters Sasha and Malia to listen to Beyoncé’s music.

    “I don’t understand how on one hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of everything,” Huckabee reportedly stated. “… How much broccoli they eat and where they go to school and making sure they’re kind of sheltered and shielded from so many things—and yet they don’t see anything that might not be suitable for either a preteen or a teen in some of the lyrical content and choreography of Beyoncé, who has sort of a regular key to the door [of the White House].”

    1. Mike Huckabee is a pimp. He’s got so many hoes, he doesn’t know what to do with all of them. He keeps that stuff private though.

    2. He didn’t call him a pimp. He wonders if he sees himself as a pimp based on his actions. Slow news day?

    3. I agree with this Mike Huckabee guy. When Bey got married to Jay z i thought she was going to trim down on her almost nude and sexualised videos but to my surprise the exposure has since increased. A lot of girls (especially blacks) look up to her for inspiration and im of the opinion she should be a bit responsible. I guess its time when we blacks start to take responsibility to our actions and not to blame other races to quote Pharrell Wiiliams and it starts with icons and role models like Beyonce.

      1. I agree with you. In the name of female empowerment Bey seems to be whoring her gifts and talents out even more,plus lets face the fact her lyrics might sound like female empowerment but when you break the actual songs down the message is just… empty apart from sex, sex and more sex. how are all the little girls she has as fans gonna grow up?

      2. worst case scenario, they become a little promiscuous…but there is little to no chance of them hanging a dog from a tree(*cough* David Huckabee *cough* Mike’s son *cough cough*)

      3. It’s all about the money and what sells. Look at Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea. Beyonce wouldn’t be selling nearly the same amount of records if she chose to cut out the sex

    4. Mike Huckabee is completely oblivious to the position of Beyonce & Jay-Z (let’s face it, if it wasn’t for her he would be long irrelevant) in mainstream culture. Considering he is not part of it himself it’s not surprising.

    5. Huckabee’s son once hung a dog then slit its throat. Perhaps he isn’t the best person to take parenting advice from.

      1. If you can’t think logically about the subject…just say so…stop throwing shit you don’t understand into the mix

    6. well, he is relevant for a month or so now. they (racist self-rightous republicans) always #reach for stuff to complain about.
