Beyoncé: Nation of Islam vows to protect pop queen

Minister Louis Farrakhan says the Nation of Islam would offer protection to Beyonce on tour.

The Nation of Islam has vowed to protect Beyoncé during her Formation tour that starts on April 27, 2016.

After Beyoncé’s pro-black performance of ‘Formation’ at the Super Bowl 50 police unions across America have stated that they will not offer protection at Beyoncé’s concert venues.

 

In his address on February 21, 2016 Minister Farrakhan addressed 14,000 NOI followers in Detroit and stated that the Fruit of Islam (the security arm of NOI) will offer protection to Beyoncé when she goes on tour.

“She started talking that Black stuff and White folks say, 'Well, we don't know how to deal with that. Well, you taught us everywhere we went about the Holocaust, but we have sympathy for you. But when one of us shows some independence, look at how you're treating Beyoncé now. You're going to picket. You're not going to offer her police protection. But the FOI will” said Farrakhan the leader of the Nation of Islam.

 

Minister Farrakhan also praised rapper Kendrick Lamar for creating a new path in Hip Hop.

 

“He freed rappers to come on up. He's the boss. He's the boss. Now when the rappers are free to say it like it is and say what they feel and teach their people through music and Rap and song and dance, the cultural revolution is on” said the 82-year-old Farrakhan.

Last week an anti-Beyoncé rally took place in New York. The rally was a flop with only a few people showing up.
