Beyonce has released a remix to her song 'Break My Soul' sampling Madonna's hit single 'Vogue'. In the remix she pays homage to many iconic artists including Bessie Smith, Michelle Williams, Diana Ross, Alicia Keys, Tierra Whack, Erykah Badu, Tierra Whack, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Rosetta Tharpe, Chloe and Halle Bailey, Solange Knowles, Nina Simone, Janet Jackson, Anita Baker, Lizzo, Kelly Rowland, Betty Davis, Sade, Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott, Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Santigold, Toni Braxton, and Grace Jones.
Last but not least, she also named the 'Holy Trinity', Rihanna, Beyonce, and Nicki Minaj.
Others pointed out that Kelis could have gotten a shout out too if she didn't complain about Beyonce sampling her song 'Milkshake' without consulting her. While Kelis performed the song she did not actually own it as Pharrell and had the writing credits. Nonetheless, Beyonce quietly removed the sample from the song and removed her from the credits as a performer to which Kelis replied 'I always win'.
Many of the artists reacted to the news of being acknowledged by Beyonce:
Santigold thanked Beyonce shouting her out and "Letting these people know about all these Black women, powerful powerful spirits, many of whom never received the acknowledgement they deserved!"
Lizzo was ecstatic, replying "BITCH BEYONCÉ SAID MY NAME BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
and "I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN ME NOW BEYONCÉ BELIEVE IN ME TOO"
Jill Scott sent love and praise Beyonce's way for her shout-out as well:
