Teletubby 116,859 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Tina Knowles-Lawson is calling out Disney+ “with love” for not promoting “Black Is King” adequately. After sharing a small clip of it, Knowles gave praise to her eldest daughter’s project and even encouraged those who have not seen it yet to go and watch. She said 'Everything about it was stellar And was watched and praised by millions. I cannot help but wonder if a white man had made it would it not have been promoted the hell out of, and nominated for all kinds of awards. Could it have something to do with the title Black Is King Is that why Disney did not promote it?????? Yes, I said it!!! With love.' https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCPjvyria0/ It looks like she had a change her mind and came back to her Instagram and changed her entire caption to “I year aniversary Black is King watch on Disney + @thirdwardthrills.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CSAQI3vHISL/ source I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat And my love for @Juanlittlem dropped into the lining Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 43,989 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I didnt get to see it so i dont know if its being snubbed or not and if it is if the content is the reason or not But i dont feel sorry for Beyonce across the board. When it comes to winning eccessive praise and awards for taking a fart shes literally the it girl for that. Even Gaga and Adele and Taylor Swift cant match her I can sympathize for the black community as a whole if they hoped it would have a bigger impact but i dont feel sorry that Beyonce didnt get an award for it or lots of nominations cuz its Beyonce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyerased 2,759 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Let’s be honest, part of this is her marketing strategy of not promoting anything to preserve the godlike image not working. Still, it doesn’t take away from the art. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy101 5,423 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 i agree with Tina tbh, it should have received many emmy nominations this year and yet received zero. something lame happened with the FYC it seems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLikeMexico 3,916 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It’s on Disney+ , its already a niche market as is of either Disney, Marvel and Star Wars fans among a few things. Not everyone has Disney+. And not everyone on Disney+ is a Beyoncé fan. So that right there loses her some views if that’s what she’s getting at. She should’ve just gone the Netflix route and released it there. I just don’t think she released it on the right platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
codymonster 7,937 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I can only speak from my perspective, and maybe there are other factors I’m not aware of, but I remember the main page of Disney+ had Black is King as the main banner for a large chunk of time.

PussOfYonce 3,657 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 i mean tina is right disney is racist but also Beyonce is the queen of self sabotage with the lack of any kind of promotion for alot of her recent projects cough lemonade cough so yeah ✨ puthy tight, puthy clean, puthy fresh ✨ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 90,488 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 It was basically the first original content and was promoted that way, it was everywhere I think this kind of content is just not fitting Dinsey+ or Netflix, it's more fitting Youtube, the GP is just not going to spend their time on a long music video, Black Is King is 100% for Beyonce's fans as well and not everybody is her fan. Also it was associated to the Lion King live action and this movie is pretty much hated, I think it had to be promoted as a piece of art of it's own. It's sad actually because I really love it.

Fresco 1,688 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I agree with her about the horrible title. I doubt anyone would be expected to release something called White is King for wide release to gp non-supremicists. so why should they for Black is King.
