One day after a leak threatened to steal the thunder of her first new music in six years and with eclectic R&B diva Kelis renewing their somewhat one-sided feud over an alleged sample on the new album, Beyoncé showed no signs of stress.
In fact, it seems like the pop music crown was not weighing particularly heavy on her head at all as Queen Bey failed to address either the leak, or Kelis' accusation, and instead took to the internet to celebrate with fans.
With one day to go until the official July 29 release of the Grammy winner's latest effort "Renaissance," she shared a special message with her legions of fans, known colloquially as the BeyHive.
“This three act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic,” said Beyoncé explaining its genesis. “A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.” She also wrote, “My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking.”
The 40-year-old goes on to call the process of creating the album a "beautiful journey of exploration," and thank family members, cultural and musical pioneers, her producers and perhaps most importantly her husband Jay-Z and the couple's three kids.
"I want to give a special thank you to Rumi, Sir and Blue for allowing me the space, creativity, and inspiration," she said. "And a special thanks to my husband and muse, who held me down during those late nights in the studio."

Beyoncé’s already dealing with leaks ahead of her "Renaissance" album release, and now she's facing accusations of theft from Kelis ... who says she had no part in clearing a sample for Bey's record. https://t.co/299UzmfQRe

This three act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic. A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative.Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration.I want to give a special thank you to Rumi, Sir, and Blue for allowing me the space, creativity, and inspiration. And a special thanks to my beautiful husband and muse, who held me down during those late nights in the studio. A big thank you to my Uncle Johnny. He was my godmother and the first person to expose me to a lot of the music and culture that serve as inspiration for this album. Thank you to all of the pioneers who originate culture, to all of the fallen angels whose contributions have gone unrecognized for far too long. This is a celebration for you. Thank you to my Parkwood crew, my slab, Dream, and all of the talented producers involved. Mama, I luhhhh you. To my father, my O.G., my first teacher: You inspire me in every move that I make. I love you.To all of my fans: I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.Love y’all deep,B
