Beyoncé supporters are rallying for everyone to get in “Formation”, after the Twitter trend #BoycottBeyonce, broke loose. The supporters of this trend are being asked to rally outside of the National Football League in New York City on the morning of February 16^th, according to the main post on a website called Eventbrite, which allows people around the globe to create and spread the word about events.

The invitation states, “Are you offended as an American that Beyoncé pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Super Bowl? Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement?” Followed by, “Come and let’s stand together. Let’s tell the NFL we don’t want hate speech and racism at the Super Bowl ever again!”

The invitation sparked a counterprotest, calling all of the singer’s supporters to show up, as well. The post states “When Black women affirm Blackness/Black womanhood, they are attacked and silenced.” This invite invites supporters to dress in outfits, like those in the “Formation” music video, or Beyoncé’s Super Bowl performance. “This is a counterprotest to … a racist, ahistorical attack on the Black Panther Party and Beyoncé, plus an excuse to celebrate a very awesome song and #BlackGirlMagic moment.”

Controversy began swirling when Beyoncé dropped the “Formation” music video on February 6^th. In the song, Beyoncé refers to her heritage with lyrics like “My daddy Alabama/ Momma Louisiana/ You mix that Negro with that Creole/ Make a Texas bamma”. Beyoncé goes on declaring, “I like my baby hair, with baby hair and Afros/ I like my Negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils”.

The music video is set in New Orleans and includes references to the devastation Hurricane Katrina left behind. The video features a young African American boy in a hoodie, in front of a line of police officers, standing in front of a wall with the words “Stop shooting us” written on it.

Many say the imagery in the video is a diss on police and urged viewers before her Super Bowl halftime performance to #BoycottBeyonce because she aligned herself with the “Black Lives Matter” movement.

Her performance on Sunday, with dancers dressed in Black Panther-like apparel, doesn’t prove the protesters wrong. Former New York Mayor, Rudy Guiliani, criticized Beyoncé, Monday on Fox News, stating her performance was “outrageous.” “This is football, not Hollywood, and I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us and keep us alive.”

Nearly all social media trends contain Beyoncé in one form or another. Tickets for her upcoming “Formation” tour went on presale February 9^th, for select cities. This offer is only for the members of the singer’s fan club, along with American Express cardholders, while others are following the development of the rally against the NFL. Either way, Beyoncé is making the news left and right; so don’t expect to see her name any less in the next couple of weeks.
