Shading Queen Bey. Monica Lewinsky called out Beyoncé for her lyrics about her affair with Bill Clinton. The Renaissance singer wrote lyrics referencing Monica’s affair with the former President of the United States.

Monica Lewinsky tweeted on August 2, 2022, “uhmm, while we’re at it… #Partition.” In the tweet, she included a Variety article about Beyoncé removing a lyric from her latest album Renaissance.

Activists accused the singer of including an ableist term, “sp—z”  in the song “Heated.” Hannah Diviney wrote in The Guardian on August 1, 2022, about the use of the lyric, ”Language you can be sure I will never ignore, no matter who it comes from or what the circumstances are,” she wrote in part in the piece published Monday, August 1.

Beyoncé’s team responded to the controversy and confirmed that they would remove the lyrics. “The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced,” they told Variety. “Partition” is a song that was included in Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled album Beyoncé.
