I clicked the link to the leak and the first song on the Beyonce album is just her saying "So, you just couldn't wait, could you?" And then she read my address back to me before the song started.
I'll see y'all in prison

Wasn’t ready for this today—today we lost a titan, an icon. She was a writer who made us feel seen all the way down to our bones. When I say rest in power, it’s with the knowledge of all the power she’s given to the rest of us. Keep empowering, empress. 💔🙏🏿
