Thus, «Alien Superstar»s 24 credits. This isn't meant as shade, I'm just curiousAlthough Warren later commented that the samples in the music likely contributed to the numerous credited writers, members of Beyoncé's protective BeyHive took offense to the veteran songwriter's comments.

Beyoncé has been criticised for using an ableist slur on her new album ‘Renaissance’.The star faced a backlash over the use of an offensive term on her new track ‘Heated’, where Beyoncé sings: “Sp***in’ on that ass, sp** on that ass,” towards the end of the song.While used colloquially in the United States with a similar meaning to “freak out” or “go crazy”, the term emerges from the word “spastic”, which is used medically to describe the spasms one might experience from a condition like cerebral palsy. The term is often used in a derogative manner to describe those with disabilities, especially cerebral palsy.It comes just weeks after Lizzo also received a backlash over an ableist lyric in her single ‘Grrrls’, which she has since addressed and altered.So @Beyonce used the word 'spaz' in her new song Heated.
