Beyonce Changing her Lyrics on ‘Heated’ After Backlash Over Ableist Slur ‘Spaz’
These days fans and supporters are no longer taking it when their favourite artist goes wrong. Beyonce became the next victim this year for her lyrics on Heated song. Beyonce Heated Lyrics have received over Ableist Slur ‘Spaz.’
Beyonce released her new 2022 album Renaissance which you can stream here. However, fans are looking forward to the album debuting No. 1 on Billboard Hot 200. Probably this week will be a good walk for the album.
On the track ‘Heated’ which is co-written by Drake as updated before the album, Beyoncé sings: “Sp***in’ on that ass, sp** on that ass,” towards the end of the song which came under attack from a section of society. While “Spaz” is used to describe “go crazy” or ‘freaking out,” its origin is “spastic” which is used medically to describe the spasms one experiences from a condition like cerebral palsy. The term is sometimes used in a derogative manner to describe those with disabilities.
So @Beyonce used the word ‘spaz’ in her new song Heated. Feels like a slap in the face to me, the disabled community & the progress we tried to make with Lizzo. Guess I’ll just keep telling the whole industry to ‘do better’ until ableist slurs disappear from music 💔
