I’m sorry but you can’t stan Britney Spears and then hate on Michael Jackson…Britney literally was jacking Janet’s (his sister) swag for her own. Not denying her talent but let’s give credit where it’s due.
I think people reduce Beyoncé’s 20s to “being with Jay-Z” and ignore that she was simultaneously building one of the biggest careers in music. Yes, she loved him. But she wasn’t some girl whose life revolved around her man. She was focused on her craft and her own timeline too.
Forbes has once again confirmed that Beyoncé is the first Black artist to become a billionaire through music alone. She also remains the richest Black female musician in the world.
Forbes noted in their latest list of top 50 self-made American female billionaires that she is the only Black artist to surpass $1 billion in ticket sales with fewer than 100 shows this decade.
