Yes No Do you find that lyric offensive? - Results (99 votes) Yes 16.16% (16 votes) 16 No 83.84% (83 votes) 83 https://variety.com/2022/music/news/beyonce-remove-renaissance-lyric-ableist-offensive-1235330581/ Beyoncs seventh studio album Renaissance debuted July 29 to universal acclaim, but one lyric in the song Heated left many listeners outraged on social media. The song includes the word spaz during a verse in which Beyonce sings: Spazzin on that ass, spazz on that ass. In the medical field, spastic refers to a disability that makes it difficult for people to control their muscles, especially in their arms and legs. The singers team confirmed to Variety that the lyric will be removed. The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced, a statement from Beyoncs team reads. The lyric was criticized as ableist and offensive on social media, and it even inspired an essay published on The Guardian in which writer Hannah Diviney wrote, Beyoncs commitment to storytelling musically and visually is unparalleled, as is her power to have the world paying attention to the narratives, struggles and nuanced lived experience of being a Black woman But that doesnt excuse her use of ableist language. Beyoncs decision to remove the ableist lyric follows Lizzos decision to do the same. Lizzo used the same term in her song Grrrls off her latest album, Special. In the original track, Lizzo sang: Hold my bag, bitch, hold my bag/ Do you see this shit? Im a spaz. The new version of the song finds Lizzo singing: Hold my bag, bitch, Hold my bag/ Do you see this shit? Hold me back. Lets make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language, Lizzo wrote on social media while announcing the lyric change. The singer added that she was proud to have taken the steps to listen and take action. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/2/6/AAaB-xAADg-2.jpg <cite>ZannoL posted [p:966988239] in Beyonce re...
