One person who won't be bowing down to Queen Bey anytime soon: Keyshia Cole. The R&B singer took to Twitter to share her two cents after Beyoncé released snippets of the song, "Bow Down/I Been On" (which eventually became "Flawless") online. That track sells Beyonce in full Sasha Fierce mode — an image Cole allegedly wasn't buying.
"Can't stand when people all self righteous when it's convenient it makes them look good. Lmao! But can still talk s**t when convenient 2 FOH," Cole tweeted, followed by, "First 'Women need to Stick together' now b****es better Bow. Smh."
That was in March 2013, yet those tweets are still haunting Cole. In August 2018, as Beyoncé made headlines for gracing the cover of Vogue, Cole was somehow still making the news right alongside her — for all the wrong reasons. When HuffPost ran an editorial celebrating Bey's history-making Vogue cover story, writers Julia Craven and Taryn Finley enjoyed a comical exchange at Cole's expense:
"Surely, the devil cowers at the energy, love and light that this Creole goddess emits," says Finley.
Keyshia Cole is indeed somewhere SHAKING," replies Craven, followed by, "Sorry, I'm showing out.
"You can show out, sis," says Finley. "Sister Cole's fish fry business could definitely use the promo." Ouch.
