People be saying “wow if Beyoncé gets cheated on, then what hope do we have?” But that’s bull crap. The answer isn’t that Beyoncé wasn’t woman enough, it was that Jay-Z wasn’t man enough. The problem wasn’t with her, it was with him. The problem isn’t with you, it’s with your significant other. There is never an excuse to cheat.

@YourMajesty143

There is no excuse for cheating, but we can't deny that Beyonce is a hard person to work with, let alone live with. She's type A personality and her biggest error (mentioned in this song) was thinking that being sexy/pretty was supposed to be enough, when relationships require far more work than that. Jay-Z clued us in when he rapped about her at the age of 23 being far more absorbed in her career than in him. There were also clues with the way she treated her girl group members, and how she overworks her staff. She can be a bit of a dictator, sweet on the outside, but undermining you at the same time. Beyonce relied too much on the surface, focusing her value on her beauty, sex appeal, and her talent. Jay-Z probably hungered for someone with substance and a bit more refined in class (less ass shaking and hip grinding), which is why the woman he cheated with is known for her smarts and elegance. Ultimately, Jay-Z was wrong for cheating, but I can absolutely see why someone like Beyonce could get cheated on. Our perception of her perfection is intentionally curated by her. Her manufactured brand image can mislead us to believe she's perfect, but truth is we don't know what happens behind closed doors. We only know she tends to get possessive, jealous, insecure, controlling, overbearing, etc. Her husband should've divorced her, and gave them both the peace they needed. Beyonce is too invested in their brand of "black royalty" to break up, so he should've been the one to end it. Now bc of his weakness, they're both trapped in the brand & empire that they (mostly she) built.

I tried to change, closed my mouth more tried to be softer, prettier, less awake. Fasted for 60 days, wore white abstained from mirrors, abstained from sex. Slowly did not speak another word In that time my hair grew past my ankles I slept on a mat on the floor I swallowed a sword I levitated Into the basement confessed my sins and was baptized in a river. Got on my knees and said Amen And said I mean I whipped my own back and asked for dominion at your feet I threw myself into a volcano I drank the blood and drank the wine I sat alone and begged and bent at the waist for God I crossed myself and thought I saw the Devil. I grew thickened skin on my feet, I bathed in bleach, and plugged my menses with pages from the holy book. But still inside me coiled deep was the need to know "Are you cheating on me?"

This “segment” of lemonade is showing how being cheated on can drive you crazy. Beyonce is smiling while she destroys everything in her path. She’s truly lost her mind lol. The opening monologue is her expressing her desperation of not be cheated on. Her words were so dramatic, because that’s exactly how it feels when you’re in love with someone, and then you find out that your partner has been unfaithful or lied to you. It’s said that being in love is a chemical imbalance after all. I feel like I need to watch lemonade again. I wonder what else I missed.

Is never the fault of the person who gets cheated, is always the choice of the person who cheats. And men cheat because, as much as they claim to respect and love us, deep down they don't really see us as fully human. They either sanctify our qualities (i cheat because i dont feel good enough for you) or demonize our flaws (i cheat because you're not good enough for me). i would say anyone who isnt reciprocal is a potential cheater... But specifically the men who dont care about your sexual, emotional, intelectual and financial needs once theirs are covered. Men who just give you time and affection when they want something from you, and ignore you once they get what they want.

For all of those people criticizing Beyoncé about the introduction, she didn’t actually do any of these things. She is reading a poem by Warsan Shire, a British 27 year-old poet who was referenced in the visual album for Lemonade.

Loving someone and giving yourself to them makes you so vulnerable, and if they cheat, they break more than just trust, they break a part of you. If you love them, don’t cheat, because even if they forgive you, they will never look or love you the same as before.

I'll admit, i never used to be a fan of Beyonce, but you know what I love about her now? She took a massive risk by doing something completely out of her comfort zone, considering she's known to be an RnB artist. She's a hard working female artist and is a flawless performer. Her lemonade album is probably the best album that has ever been released. Watch Lemonade in full...trust me. "Daddy Lesson" (country), "Don't Hurt Yourself" (Rock), "All Night" (Alternative), "Sandcastle"/"Pray You Catch Me" (ballad). It's a mixture of genres. People complain that Beyonce is boring and does the same thing all the time. Lol if only haters knew. Appreciate art and get over yourselves. Btw, those who are saying she's overrated, let me just say your "overrated" word is overrated. Beyonces toe nail is worth more than your house. Sorry not sorry!

Stop capping, drowning isnt purity? It means anxiety and pressure

After being cheated on, I finally understand the symbolism at the beginning of the video. Bear in mind the Lemonade epic was full of spoken word artsy stuff…but that first bit of Beyonce in water is like her holding everything in. It’s like inhaling and attempting to be different for the sake of appearing sane, nice and okay. When she opens the doors it’s like she finally says “fuck it” I’d rather be crazy than jealous and so she lets all the “water” go and starts bashing up the whole darn town 😂 I know it may look obvious but you literally feel like you’re holding your breath/tongue when you know smn aint right and so I understood the opening of the doors and letting the water escape…. “You either say nothing and let it fuck you up, or say something and fuck it up yourself”

Men cheat because they have poor willpower and high lustful feelings for someone - literally anyone even if she’s less pretty by most standards - else, and because they’re good at giving themselves dozens of gendered excuses for cheating that society has already laid out for them.
