Noname’s views on capitalism and Black celebrity have come under fire once again.
The Chicago rapper/activist took to social media on Friday (July 31) to voice her displeasure with Black Is King, Beyoncé’s visual album for Disney+.
“we love an african aesthetic draped in capitalism,” Noname wrote. “hope we remember the blk folks on the continent whose daily lives are impacted by u.s imperialism. if we can uplift the imagery i hope we can uplift those who will never be able to access it. black liberation is a global struggle”
The tweet comes weeks after Noname tweeted then deleted a post on June 29 regarding Beyoncé and civil rights activist Angela Davis. Noname wished Davis received the same amount of adulation as the Grammy Award-winning singer.
“i wish angela got the love beyonce gets,” she wrote.
Similar to that tweet, Beyoncé fans and others criticized Noname’s reaction to Black Is King.
One Twitter user wrote, “Imagine being Tiwa Savage, Busiswa, Moonchild, Shatta Wale, Connie Chiume, Trevor Stuurman, Mary Twala or any other African credited on #BlackIsKing and then Noname from the USA calls your work and storytelling “an African aesthetic draped in capitalism.”
Noname Deletes Tweet Comparing Beyoncé To Civil Rights Activist Angela Davis
Another person added, “Noname’s activism is starting to fall into talking over the very people you’re claiming to advocate for. A lot of Africans are reprimanding her but she’s so steadfast in being loud and wrong. & this is the case w a lot of AAs.”
Check out some of the reactions to Noname’s tweet below.
This big bitch needs to shut up. Go to Africa and help them then. Sound like those fools always bringing up Chicago when they want to criticize somebody protesting racist cops.
how can she go help ive legit heard 0 songs from her. just constant bullshit like this
and just sayin, everyone knows jayz and beyonce are fuckin phony caring about anything.
The Left eats their own. Change my mind.
Can’t wait till they all realise that logically leftism means they should not exist LMFAO
The battle of the angry black skunks! Emotional instability at its lowest point.
Capitalism isn’t the problem, angry black lady. The fat chick with the ugly hairdo, not Beyoncé the other one, fails to see the problems within her own community so how can she even begin to speak like she has solutions? Get rid of the baby mama/absent dad, stripper, drug, gang crips/bloods praising culture first and then talk. The black community has no room to criticize others until they get AT LEAST some of their shit together. Start there.
Interesting when white people come on sites like this to comment on black culture, when in actuality they understand nothing. Only what the general population pushes into the masses but If you look a little deeper the culture is based of conditioning the same way there are some of the things you mentioned, there is real change and a movement that takes place because of it. Your “culture” Is profiting a lot from black culture and has been for a while. The hypocrisy is “cringe”
Emily is right tho.. and im black.
Every “activist” loud mouth liberal I know is actually a miserable loser. This chick can’t get any action in the bedroom, hence the undertaking of political nonsense becoming her main mission in life.
Awww damn she done F’d up now. J Cole is one thing.. but Beyoncé? Good luck.
Also, if you if you hate American Capitalism so deeply why are you always on Twitter? Isn’t that a capitalist American company?? Go figure…
She is a communist
She doesn’t care about black people, she wants communism and she is ready to burn any rich person in the stake. Ideologues are dangerous, because they consider their ideas as reality. That bitch better get canceled.
When US imperialism is mentioned every one becomes super defensive. Rather than bashing the girl, how about everyone takes a critical look at what is Actually being said.
Who gets defensive. She should go testify to the actual government that participates in it and not a fucking singer that she hates because they’re more successful than her fat ass.

You can log off noname
And you guys wonder why J. Cole checked her ass in a song, baby you are too woke, work on sum music not judging your peers
If every white woman is a Karen, every black woman is a Shaniqua! LOL
Drag J cole and the world treats like Queen, disagree with beyonce and get treated how you treated j cole lol
I’m a white guy from Europe and I can say US capitalism is real. Most of you can’t even name 10 countries on the Black Continent and you yell BLM. Just because one hates capitalism doesn’t mean one’s a communist. By the way I bet you don’t know shit about communism as you get informed from Hollywood movies and not from the library. I don’t like Beyonce, because she’s an overrated pop bitch. I don’t like her husband either, because he’s an overrated pop rapper with boring flows and wack beats. I don’t say Noname is the greatest female mc, but she has more heart and soul in one tweet than in Beyonce’s whole discography. That’s not the problem African ppl were portrayed happily. The problem is it was hallmarked by Beyonce, whose only impression from Africa is probably that the oyster was nice in the Johannesburg luxury hotel’s stateroom.
John it doesn’t matter what type of video she came out with you would hate it the same. It could have been full of starving children with footage bringing attention to sex trade and piracy or diamond minds and you would still hate it. You just don’t like her which is fine but nothing is wrong with her trying to uplift us with her art and to let her children experience how beautiful we can be.
Its funny when white people comment then a black person comes in and down plays there comment based on the presumption of there race not actually knowing there race but just guessing based on what was said and instead of addressing the actual topic are more concerned that a person of “non-color” would come and comment on a “hip-hop” website like white people aren’t allowed to comment on black matters? Uh ok well btw the majority of readers and commenters are white so this site is pretty much biased and set up to promote black music but its majority of readers are white. You have no control over that. You dont own this site you have no control over who reads and comments. You lost. We took over. Deal with it.
I see she has figured out a way to make a name for herself. LOL
People have so much to say about everything, and then when you do speak, then they comment and tell you how wrong you are so you can’t win. Won’t everybody, just leave everybody alone, a comment is a comment, what people think is what they think so. Unless it’s like crucially damaging just leave it alone! Like soon, someone will probably comment on my comment. But if you support my comment then cool. Lol lol
Great advice. How about YOU start with YOURSELF and shut the fuck up? This is a COMMENT section, dumb dumb. For COMMENTS!
As suspected after the Cole comments, she’s just a clout chaser. The only reason we talk about her is when she puts other people’s names in her mouth, then shes going to get defensive like she didnt say shit. Fuck this chick, shes a young female lord jamar
Well well what a surprise. This woman has a lot to say lately. I agree with lots of comments here and I am an African myself. Some Americans really need to stop these nonsense. Oh and I remembered how yall defended her when she went at j Cole and he responded back. Look now how all these black females are going at her because it’s Beyonce. When it’s a black male you get attitudes etc.
Black women are the worst
Covid 19 And Shit…..
Wasn’t y’all ready to cancel J Cole for this girl just a few days ago? He put her in check respectfully and y’all made her feel like she was right and he was wrong.
