Keyshia Cole Lashes Out At Beyonce Over Bow Down Lyrics
R&B singer Keyshia Cole has taken aim at _B_EYONCE over her new song _B_OW DOWN's boastful lyrics.
The Halo hitmaker unveiled the new material on her website on Sunday (17Mar13), debuting two tracks which had been merged into one, named _B_ow Down/I _B_een On.
Fans have embraced the fresh tunes, but not everyone is happy with the words to _B_ow Down - and Cole is one of the critics who appear to have taken offence to lines like, "I know when you were little girls/ You dreamt of being in my world/ Don't forget it, don't forget it/ Respect that, bow down, b**ches".
The outspoken singer took to her Twitter.com page after hearing the song and lashed out at the pop superstar for appearing to put her peers down.
Cole raged, "Can't stand when people all self-righteous when it's convenient it makes them look good. Lmao (laughing my a** off)! _B_ut can still talk s**t when convenient 2 Foh (F**k outta here). I done kept it real from the start! #RespectThat.
"First 'Women need to Stick together' now b**ches better _B_ow. Smh (Shaking my head). _B_ut it's all G (good)! Chicks stay shooting the s**t. _B_ut when I speak my mind its a prob. #Well #StayMad (sic)".
Her messages prompted some _B_eyonce devotees to hit back, with one Twitter user writing, "_I_f @KeyshiaCole put as much energy in her struggle music as she did twitter beefing (fighting) she would be as successful as _B_eyon (sic)."
_I_t's not the first time Cole has courted controversy when it comes to _B_eyonce - she made it clear she was not a fan of her Destiny's Child bandmate Michelle Williams after their reunion at the Super _B_owl in New Orleans, Louisiana last month (Feb13), tweeting, "I think I was frightened to blink for a sec. Then Michelle sung and woke my a** up from my daze! She always f**kN (sic) the groove up".
_B_oth Williams and her bandmate Kelly Rowland took the high road in the dispute with Cole and instead brushed off her comments. _B_eyonce has yet to address any of Cole's remarks.
