Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie shades Beyonce

[fab 22,502]

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie commented on her feature on ***Flawless for the first time: 

Quote

'But I was shocked about how many requests for an interview I received when that song was released. Literally every major newspaper in the world wanted to speak with me about Beyoncé. I felt such a resentment (laughs loudly). I thought: are books really that unimportant to you? Another thing I hated was that I read everywhere: now people finally know her, thanks to Beyoncé, or: she must be very grateful. I found that disappointing. I thought: I am a writer and I have been for some time and I refuse to perform in this charade that is now apparently expected of me: "Thanks to Beyoncé, my life will never be the same again." That's why it didn't speak about it much.'

'Her style is not my style, but I do find it interesting that she takes a stand in political and social issues, since a few years. She portrays a woman who is in charge of her own destiny, who does her own thing, and she has girl power. I am very taken with that.'   

'Still, her type of feminism is not mine, as it is the kind that, at the same time, gives quite a lot of space to the necessity of men. I think men are lovely, but I don't think that women should relate everything they do to men: did he hurt me, do I forgive him, did he put a ring on my finger? We women are so conditioned to relate everything to men. Put a group of women together and the conversation will eventually be about men. Put a group of men together and they will not talk about women at all, they will just talk about their own stuff. We women should spend about 20 per cent of our time on men, because it's fun, but otherwise we should also be talking about our own stuff.'

I don't think she really "shaded" Bey, she just happens to have a different opinion on the topic of feminism.

that's not shade  she just looks at feminism with a different perspective

[Maryanne 2,658]

I agree with everything she said tbh.

[Rihanna 748]

I agree with what she said about women relating to men.

If I was BEYONCÉ I would publicly diss tf her then take out her shitty parts from Flawless and replace it on the digital/streamable versions of the album. Charmander better be fucking grateful that Beyoncé gave her the time of day!

She's not wrong tho

I do believe she's shading her by undermining her vision of faux feminism which is always linked back to men

Wow I never realized this but it's definitely true. I don't think she shaded Beyoncé at all.
