Transcript
00:00 Oh the perks of being a reality star.
00:02 Over the years, Twitter fans have caught on to the fact that Kimmy is super obsessed with
00:06 Beyonce.
00:07 Kim Kardashian is madly obsessed with Beyonce.
00:11 Now we know it's natural for people to have an interest in celebrities.
00:14 However, it can be a little confusing when someone as famous as Kim Kardashian herself
00:19 is obsessed with another celebrity like Beyonce.
00:23 While Kim Kardashian is often associated with self-obsession, her fascination with Beyonce
00:28 seems to go beyond comprehension.
00:31 Over time, it's become evident that Kim Kardashian has pursued a friendship with Beyonce, but
00:36 her attempts have been unsuccessful as Beyonce has seemingly kept her at a distance.
00:42 "Beyonce and Jay-Z's 2008 wedding until months after.
00:46 This explains why Kim is so obsessed with Bey.
00:48 The performer lives the elite, low-key life that Kim wishes to have lived."
00:52 According to a source close to Kim Kardashian, they said that she regularly searches for
00:57 Beyonce's name in Google, indicating her obsession with keeping tabs on her and staying
01:03 up to date with all of her activities.
01:06 The source also mentioned that Kim constantly strives to compete with Beyonce on various
01:12 fronts.
01:13 It appears that Kim's obsession stems from wanting to be number one.
01:17 "Remember that time Beyonce snubbed a hug from Kim at the 2012 BET Awards and poor Kim
01:22 just stood there not knowing what to do?"
01:25 Kim's infatuation with Beyonce is definitely not something that is hidden, and there are
01:30 some rumors that she even tried to steal Beyonce's spotlight by sharing provocative pictures
01:37 with her ex-husband Kanye West.
01:39 In any case, this relentless pursuit of knowing everything about Beyonce and constantly attempting
01:45 to compete with her seems to occupy much of Kim Kardashian's time.
01:49 "You guys already know that Kim and Beyonce had different starts into fame.
01:52 Kim started singing from a young age and Kim became famous because of a take."
01:56 The former power couple, Kim and Kanye, were also known to have been involved in a friendly
02:01 rivalry with Jay-Z and Beyonce, and they would often compare their social media likes and
02:07 followers to those of Beyonce and Jay-Z.
02:10 And at this point, it is no secret that Kim Kardashian is, of course, highly obsessed
02:15 with Beyonce.
02:16 The evidence shows this.
02:17 But it's said that Kim is also just completely unaware that she is so obsessed with Beyonce.
02:24 And this obsession doesn't go both ways.
02:27 According to a source, Beyonce has never genuinely liked Kim Kardashian in the first place, and
02:34 she has mostly tolerated her due to their husbands, or I should say ex-husband Kanye
02:40 and her current husband Jay-Z's friendship as well as mutual acquaintances that they
02:45 have.
02:46 Beyonce herself prefers to keep her distance from the Kardashian-Jenner family and dislikes
02:51 discussing her personal life in the media.
02:53 "Once Kim became Mrs. West, Beyonce and Jay-Z started to distance themselves from Kanye.
02:58 And rumor has it, it's all because Beyonce just can't stand to be around Kim."
03:02 But Kim and her family, on the other hand, revolve around the media and they crave to
03:08 be in the limelight.
03:09 The Kardashian-Jenner family has mastered the art of staying in the spotlight, whether
03:13 it's through their relationships or multiple career ventures.
03:18 And Beyonce just doesn't want to be a part of that at all.
03:21 So yeah, that's just not what Beyonce is for, nor does she even view Kim Kardashian
03:26 as competition.
03:27 Beyonce is always a bit distant and cold towards Kim.
03:31 She has never been fond of her and tends to create awkward pauses during any time they
03:36 have interactions.
03:38 Also, years ago, despite Kim Kardashian's request, Beyonce actually denied to be her
03:44 bridesmaid when she married Kanye West, without giving it a second thought.
03:49 So guys, as you can see, it's 100% clear that Beyonce doesn't want any type of association
03:53 with the Kardashian-Jenner family and doesn't even acknowledge Kim Kardashian's presence,
03:59 really.
04:00 Beyonce's deliberate distance from Kim Kardashian definitely reflects her no-drama approach
04:05 to life.
04:06 She tries to stay out of the drama as much as possible and stay in her lane and keep
04:11 doing her thing.
04:12 A lot of people say that, yeah, she's actually wise.
04:15 She's wise for that, for keeping her distance and keeping the Kardashians away.
04:20 So Beyonce is all over the headlines.
04:23 People are making forums about it.
04:25 Everyone thinks that she just looks like Kim Kardashian now.
04:27 Fans think that Beyonce is trying to look a little too much like Kim Kardashian.
04:32 And I want to know, what do you guys think?
04:34 Is Beyonce trying to look like Kim or not?
04:37 But let me break it down for you guys.
04:39 Beyonce totally slayed at the Renaissance Tour movie premiere, where she was wearing
04:43 this amazing glitzy gown by Donatella Versace.
04:47 The silver dress hugged her curves perfectly and those metallic gloves were the cherry
04:52 on top, guys.
04:59 Even Donatella Versace herself called Beyonce a vision in Versace on Instagram.
05:05 But yeah, some fans are a bit worried that Beyonce is taking some style cues from Kim
05:12 Kardashian, you know?
05:14 Not that Beyonce styled herself.
05:16 And when you look at the photos, she had platinum blonde hair.
05:20 And by the way, Versace herself even added this on Instagram.
05:22 "You are unique, one of one, the number one, the only one.
05:27 I can't wait to see the Renaissance Tour movie."
05:34 But yeah, like I was mentioning, not everybody was showering Beyonce with love and praise.
05:38 Lots of fans went straight to the comments on her post to share their thoughts and let
05:43 me tell you, it wasn't all compliments, guys.
05:46 One user even wrote, "I thought this was Kim Kardashian for a sec."
05:51 And someone else had this to say, "Literally everyone looking like a Kardashian.
05:56 She's giving me Kim K sheer hybrid."
05:58 Now even though some people were a bit skeptical, there were a lot of people who couldn't help
06:03 but gush about Beyonce's stunning looks and they straight up called her queen.
06:09 She's known as Queen B for a reason.
06:18 But now even Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles, she had to step in and defend her daughter.
06:24 She was just so angry with the whole thing.
06:26 She was really mad because some people were accusing Beyonce of trying to not just look
06:31 like Kim Kardashian, but to try to lighten her skin and to try to look more white because
06:36 she rocked the platinum blonde hair for the Renaissance Tour film premiere.
06:41 Tina went on Instagram and she dropped a montage video that clapped back at all of the criticism
06:47 that Beyonce was getting.
06:49 And in the video, it showed clips of Beyonce over the years with her skin tone doing its
06:54 own thing.
06:55 You know, sometimes depending on the lighting, it looks lighter, sometimes it looks darker.
07:00 And the track Brown Skin Girl was playing in the background.
07:09 The video ended with a message that said, "Beyonce is a brown skin girl, sometimes more
07:15 or less light.
07:16 A brown skin girl, it's more than a skin color.
07:19 It's a culture, a pride, a strength."
07:26 Tina also had even more to say and she left a caption on that video and it said this.
07:32 "Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid, ignorant,
07:37 self-hating, racist statements about her lightening her skin and wearing platinum hair, wanting
07:43 to be white.
07:44 She does a film called The Renaissance where the whole theme is silver with silver hair
07:50 and silver carpet and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she's trying to
07:57 be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?
08:02 How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and
08:07 jealousy?"
08:08 So yeah guys, as you can see, Tina did not hold back.
08:11 She also went off on an unnamed TMZ reporter who happens to be somebody that's white and
08:19 they actually were trying to contact Beyonce's hair stylist, Neil Farina, and the photographer
08:25 was trying to ask Neil if Beyonce was trying to be white.
08:29 That is what literally happened according to Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mom.
08:33 Tina straight up said that it got her blood boiling and she also pointed out her biggest
08:38 letdown was that some black people were jumping on the same bandwagon and pushing this narrative,
08:45 acting ignorant in her terms.
08:48 And Tina even dropped the fact that even Etta James rocked platinum blonde hair.
08:54 So guys, I really want to know, what are your thoughts about this?
08:57 And I kind of see it all the time where if a celebrity looks a certain way and then another
09:02 celebrity happens to dress similar to how that other celebrity looked, usually that
09:08 celebrity is bashed and being labeled as someone who's copying.
09:12 But with the whole theme of renaissance being silver, it's no surprise that Beyonce was
09:17 rocking this silver hair.
09:19 And Beyonce, yeah, depending on the type of lighting, her skin is going to look lighter.
09:24 So yeah, I don't think that this has anything to do with Beyonce trying to look white or
09:29 anything like that.
