Don't mess with Queen Bee! Only a few people showed up to the much-buzzed about Anti-Beyoncé Protest outside of the NFL's headquarters in New York City Tuesday morning. A group who call themselves Proud of the Blues scheduled the event that was supposed to protest the "Formation" singer's performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, where Beyoncé paid tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement, the Black Panthers and Malcolm X, according to CBS News.
The anti-Beyoncé rally was supposed to take place on Tuesday at 8 a.m., but the number of police officers and camera crews outnumbered the amount of people who actually protested the singer. Two people initially showed up for the rally, followed hours later by a woman named April Bedunah, according to New York Magazine.
"Why am I here? I'm here because I have many cop friends, and I respect what they do, and people need to hear that they are loved," Bedunah told the magazine. "There are bad cops who need to be thrown in jail. But there are good cops as well."
Beyoncé may have referenced the protest against her last night as she presented the Record of the Year award at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
"Art is the unapologetic celebration of culture through self-expression," she said, according to The Fader. "It can impact people in a variety of ways, for different reasons, at different times. Some will react, some will respond, and some will be moved."
