Keyshia Cole Slams Beyonce Over "Bow Down"

Keyshia Cole knows how to start a pot of ish and keep stirring that ish doesn't she? The "Trust & Believe" singer is back at the Twitter shots. And this time, she's going at Beyonce directly....

Keyshia Cole is mad again y'all. She has something to say after Bey released her "Bow Down" track last night. And apparently, Keyshia is in her feelings about bey telling folks "Bow down bitches."

Keyshia tweeted just a few minutes ago a few slams at Mrs. Knowles Carter saying:

First "Women need to Stick together" now bitches better Bow. Smh. But it's all G! Chicks stay shooting the shit. But when I speak my mind its a prob. #Well #StayMad

Can't stand when people all self righteous when it's convenient it makes them look good. Lmao! But can still talk shit when convenient 2 FOH....I done kept it real from the start! #RespectTHAT

And there's more.

When a fan responded with "f*ck yo unity," Keyshia responded with, "Never said there was any. IM not in denial... God Bless." People's responses are also interesting.

Is Keyshia is her own worst enemy....or should she be able to speak her mind--regardless of who it's about--whenever she please with zero consequences?

I'm pretty sure y'all know my thoughts. But I'm going to let y'all have this one....

P.S. Keyshia's appearing on Jimmy Kimmel tonight to perform....which she informed everyone about after her controversial tweets...

Baddie Bey does it again.

Baddie Bey does it again. Keyshia Cole falls right into the trap Beyoncé set for her competition. Yes Beyoncé has stood up for women’s rights and for our voices to be heard."Bow Down" is simply an announcement for people taking shots at her throne this past year. Beyoncé didn’t carry Blue Ivy, Beyoncé lipped synced the national anthem, Beyoncé this, Beyoncé that…I mean can she live? Mrs. Carter is enjoying the freedom of being an independent artist, with nothing to prove. Keyshia Cole is basically using anything and everything to stay relevant, and it’s working.

I may be late but let me add

I may be late but let me add on. Everyone is free to interpret a song how they will, but I believe Beyonce is just saying to all those who have come and tried to take her throne or what she has, they need to just realize it isn't going to happen. They should just Bow Down and accept the fact. She's just letting all the haters know, Htown, this is where I came from, the Queen, this is who I am. Respect it or get the f#ck on. It isn't taking away from the women who actually want to be unified cause I understand what she means with perfect clarity.

Ok!!! as much as i hate to

Ok!!! as much as i hate to say what im about to say...Right is Right and wrong is wrong...Now keyshia Cole...she is who? someone who comes out with a good single every ONCE in awhile, unlike BEY who makes non stop #1 singles, but i have to agree w/K.COLE, I mean BEY, your hanging with the first lady and what now, telling other women to bow down BITCHES...i mean as a artist and a singer i get it, and im sure others will, but you have ppl who really really look up her as if she is Jesus and will throw stones at her for singing this, and then you have other ppl like K.Cole who should understand where she is coming from as an artist, who wants to explore a more cocky avenue in her music, but she's to caught up on others thats probably she's still in the same boat she's been in since she came out, but i mean hey I get it, i like the song, however as a R&B Queen ppl really take the QUEEN part and run with it so its going to be much confusion and criticism about this track.

HUGE double standard....If

HUGE double standard....If one can speak their mind then the same applies to the other. I do agree with Keyshia...not in those exact words but the beyonce I see and read about seems to want to appear perfect....When she recorded that song she displayed someone of a different caliber or maybe she didn't....I have to admit that this is more of something I would expect from rihanna or nicki minaj so with that being said she should already be ready for the criticism people like them get. The main reason I liked beyonce despite my suspicions of how shallow the end really was is she maintained tact. Earlier this year after the super bowl her publicist was scrambling to erase all images that showed beyonce anything less than flattering -_- flaws n all hun?...the kim and kanye situation where her opinion just had to be public stating she wont have kim in her inner circle??? OKAY!?....who cares how you feel about kim your not dating her! Its the most common flaw with women ...this pathetic desire to have not just some attention but all the attention on them. Any and every man must find me sexy...every woman must hate and secretly want to be me. To sum up what Im trying to say.....Beyonce is a commercial artist...she molds herself to be whatever is mainstream, whatever quotes or slang being used she will too use .. whatever artist is popular she will soon have a song with them that is if said artist wont take too much attention away from her. Popular girl syndrome...everyone loves and adores me untill another pretty face comes along. The best way for ppl not to forget about me is to comply with what everyone likes its annoying but thats what sells so I dont see her stopping anytime soon. I personally dont believe that one artist is better than another simply because their skills appears to be more polished than the next....heart, genuine and sincerity is what makes a good artist and the only thing I commend about this so called new material beyonce is using is I believe we are finally seeing the real beyonce. And the comments about Keyshia's family...........REALLY!? Sense when is someone struggling with substance abuse funny? Smh heartless.

Keisha Cole is just eaten up with jealousy. She will NEVER be on anywhere close to Beyonce's fame. She needs to look after her own drug addicted family. She is eaten up with jealousy!!

Beyonce has done 16 years of

Beyonce has done 16 years of what other people wanted, and now she can literally do whatever she wants. Therefore since she's an artist that has that type of reach why stifle your creativity? Her singing at an inauguration has nothing to do with what she chooses to sing about. That's kind of what freedom of speech is about. The CEO of a company won't have the same reach as a lower level employee therefore he has the opportunity to formulate things the way he likes because he worked hard for that say so. If you don't like her music don't buy it, but tearing somebody down for their own artistry and freedom of speech is just ignorant.

First off, yhall act like

First off, yhall act like this is far off from the boastful songs of her past. I do believe she wanted to do a club song because she's been on a R&B love song kick lately. She just had a baby so Im sure flexing her musical skills was longed for. Yhall taking it too far turning it into something religious, find a couch & sit in every seat. She does say bitches alot but Im guessing she wanted to pay hommage to her hometown & her roots & make the track a lil gangsta. Keyshia is entitled to her opinion but the problem with women nowadays is when to speak & when to shut up. And as a celebrity, your public opinions should be kept limited. In this case, I think she is begging to be blacklisted. Its career suicide on her part, but comedy on my behalf lol

I actually agree with Keyshia on this one. First it was Girl Power, we run the world, Sisterhood, etc. and now it's basically bow down and kiss my ass bitches? Really? If she keeps going this route The Obamas will be rescinding their friendship in 5, 4, 3, 2...besides the song SUCKS.....

Keyshia is pissed because she can't say bow down to anybody well maybe Frankie... lmao! I actually don't love the Beyonce song but do support artist being able to explore differnt avenues. I listend to the song a few times I think she is referring to the haters in general and also paying homage to Houston with the chopped and screwed part at the end... ((shruggs)) people are too serious when it comes to Beyonce...all celebrities for real.

Really? Keyshia Cole has every right to her opinion and what she posts is her business just like you have the right to respond. But she was spot on. Beyonce done lost her damn mind and her dignity. Dumbass.

I like keyshia cole as an artist. I like her voice and i like her music, for the most part. I havent heard beyonce's song yet but i like beyonce too. For the same reasons. But for keyshia to once again publicly attack another female artist, makes her look extremely insecure and rather jealous. She can claim all day it's her opinion and she keeps it real and whatever the hell else she's spittin. But at the end of the day, it makes her look like a very angry, unhappy woman. Hopefully beyonce will take the high road and not even acknowledge keyshia's remarks.

We know what's she's telling them. What make you think her shyt doesn't stink where someone has to "bow down" to her life she's God. She can't save you, so you just keep bowing. I swear the more I encounter Beyonce fans, the more I know they are mental. You don't know her. She doesn't know you, so why are you spending all this energy defending this woman. She's making her money; what about you? I swear ya'll are some messed up people.

I'm amazed at the silliness

I'm amazed at the silliness of Beyonce fans. I mean, grow up. Everyone isn't going to like her. She's overrated, and will one day fall from the glory you've elevated her to. She's a singer/dancer; she's NOT GOD, JESUS, OR THE HOLY SPIRIT. You better be careful who you put on a pedestal and worship because they will come crashing down if God doesn't take them out. You'll be just like the followers of Jim Jones who followed the man straight to their deaths by drinking poison. You are drinking the Beyonce poison. It's one thing to like an artist; it's another to go all out and some of these comments, coming from grown people, are just pathetic. God help your children if you have any. Why are you betting your life on someone you don't even know, and who would never in hell, back you up as if your whole existence depended on her. Are you on her payroll, or are you just a rabid Beyonce fan who can't accept the fact that your "queen" really isn't all that? Many greats have come before her. Grow up.

Here's the thing it's a song. period good or bad. Kiesha is intitled to her opinion and when she shares it on social media sites she will get opinions back. but her ending does sound a litte bitter like" Chicks stay shooting the shit. But when I speak my mind its a prob. # Well #StayMad she act like the song was ment for her. was it? Then there's"Can't stand when people all self righteous when it's convenient it makes them look good . Lmao! But can still talk shit when convenient 2 FOH....I done kept it real from the start! #RespectTHAT....WTF..Shes mad y because she started out hood then tried to clean it up act like she was to good for the hood, her mother sister and all other hood things that made her relate able (I mean i love her song Love....I even got over that was the worst vocal performances on a record... shit even rhianna only sounded like shit live on the record she was carrying those notes...lol) to flop...Sound to me like she is mad she could not pull a beyonce. when she flipped the script we turned the channel lmao

Not explicitly negative but

Not explicitly negative but it´s not the positive vibe I got from her other hits. It´s something else than I expected so to me a turnoff. On the other hand Beyonce doesn´t have to live up to what people expect her to be, she´s human and not a living doll. Probably when I am in a club I will still bounce to it lol.

I mean I don't think an artist should always give what's expected, and I'm glad she reached outside of that. You get flat when you do that and you're not growing, as with any other profession. Its a fun song for the club, but I think its getting taken out of context because people expect her to be Mary from the bible on all records and she's got different dimensions to her personality. As we all do.

I agree that both women should be able to speak their minds - Keyshia chose to speak her via social media. Beyonce chose to address certain situations via her music. I mean hey, why not make a buck to speak your mind? Maybe Keyshia should take a hint...jus sayin. The crazy thing is Keyshia Cole is actually very talented, and I honestly believe she could have gone much further. However she's starting to get the K.Michelle vibe about her.

Especially ones who have more respect than her. Not a smart move.

Sh*t, she seems as though she has gotten worse. Of course she is entitled to her own opinion, but there is a time and place for everything. She should be focusing on making a hit and cleaning up her image instead of Beyonce. Its making her look intimidated. Do better, Keysh...
