Not like she has to worry about the bills, but using your platform to make a political statement usually comes back to bite. (Madonna, Dixie Chicks, among others.)
I just hope 'Yonce will veer away from the Rihanna-type stuff. I've always seen 'Yonce as too sophisticated for the bargain ghetto stuff Rihanna has put on her last few records. Formation is a huge step toward a more niche sound. No offense, but as a white fan, I feel a little out of place listening to Formation.
