US host Megyn Kelly accuses Beyonce of wanting to ‘play the victim' on Cowboy Carter tour
Megyn Kelly doubled down on her criticisms against Beyoncé on The Megyn Kelly Show after learning the Grammy Award-winning singer has been airing footage of her during the Cowboy Carter tour. Kelly ranted against Beyoncé on the show, calling her 'untouchable' and 'privileged' while accusing her of wanting to 'play the victim' to her audience. 'It recently came to my attention that Beyoncé, who's on some world tour right now reinventing herself as a country star, is running videotape during the show of yours truly,' Kelly said on the show. The right-wing pundit explained that the clip showed her criticising Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter album, which she said felt like it was being marketed by the singer as 'the second coming' of Jesus. 'Like it's Jesus incarnate, he's back. All hail Queen Bey. She's here to rescue country music,' Kelly complained, adding that country music 'was a perfectly thriving industry long before Beyoncé showed up.' Kelly aired a video from the concert, which showed a blurred video of Kelly saying Beyoncé 'decided to stick her big toe into the lane' playing on the screens surrounding the stage. 'It appears to be a set up for her doubters, for her haters,' Kelly explained on her show. 'Someone who posted it online referred to me as a white supremacist, I guess because I didn't bow down to Queen Bey as she walked into country music.' Kelly railed against the singer as journalist Glenn Greenwald listened on. She complained that Beyoncé is widely considered to be immune to criticism, spurring her to want to criticise her even further.

By the way, you're not allowed to rip on Michelle Obama, either, but we do,' Kelly said. 'Too bad. The more untouchable you tell me somebody is, the more likely I am to want to hit them.' Kelly continued, 'She had to scour the internet to find anybody who offered any criticism of this move whatsoever. Here is another one of the most privileged, beloved women in the world … and richest based on her own fortune, never mind the man she's married to, but still has to look for the one sliver where she could play the victim and be aggrieved, because big bad Megyn Kelly said something completely milk toast about her entry into country music.' The Cowboy Carter tour kicked off in Los Angeles April 30, where it debuted with a record-breaking $US55 million in earnings, per Billboard.

Megyn Kelly hits back at Beyonce in surprise FEUD between the pair as host trolls her over 'BFF' Diddy
Megyn Kelly is striking back at Beyoncé after learning that she plays an unexpected role in her ongoing Cowboy Carter Tour - sparking an unlikely feud between the pair. The 54-year-old conservative pundit took the 43-year-old hitmaker to task on Thursday's episode of The Megyn Kelly Show after she was told that a clip of her criticizing Beyoncé has been incorporated into her tour stops. Kelly, who blasted the singer for acting like an 'aggrieved woman,' said that Beyoncé should instead focus on explaining her own former friendship with the disgraced rap mogul Sean ' Diddy ' Combs, 55, amid his ongoing trial on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges which he has not pled guilty to. has contacted Beyoncé's representative for comment but has not heard back as of Friday morning. Kelly delivered her rant to her guest, the journalist Glenn Greenwald, as she recounted learning that a clip of her unloading on Beyoncé's recent turn toward country music on the Australian show Paul Murray Live was being played at her concerts. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kelly originally took issue with Beyoncé and her marketing treating her the release of Cowboy Carter — which was released one year before Thursday's show to the day — as 'the Second Coming.' 'It's Jesus incarnate, He's back. All hail Queen Bey,' she added mockingly. Kelly included a fan-shot video of a Cowboy Carter Tour concert that showed the clip, in which she was briefly featured mocking Beyoncé for 'sticking her big toe' into country music. But the concert display then included a quick montage of Black musicians who were influential in the development of popular 20th-century genres, as if to suggest that there was nothing unusual about her wanting to make country music. Kelly said that the country music industry had been 'a perfectly thriving industry long before Beyoncé showed up.' She did admit that her opinion was in the minority, based on the massive sales of Cowboy Carter and the numerous awards it received, though the subsequent tour has struggled with soft sales. The media host claimed that Beyoncé has become 'untouchable.' 'You're not allowed to rip on her,' Kelly said, before claiming that Michelle Obama fell into the same category. 'Too bad! The more untouchable you tell me someone is, the more likely I am to want to hit them,' she admitted. The host ripped Beyoncé for 'scouring the internet' to find criticism of her Cowboy Carter album, considering how overwhelming the praise for it had been. 'Here is one of the most privileged, beloved women in the world — and richest, based on her own fortune, never mind the man she's married to — but still has to look for the one sliver where she can play the victim and be aggrieved because big, bad Megyn Kelly said something completely milquetoast about her entry into country music,' she seethed. Later, she slammed Beyoncé and other similarly famous stars for not being able to 'take the mildest criticism because in there world they never receive any.' 'Meanwhile, where's her show video of her with P-Diddy. Where's that picture, Queen Bey?' Kelly taunted, referring to him as Beyonce's 'BFF.' Kelly blasted the A-lister for having 'so many things you want to say about items in the news' but not speaking about her and Jay-Z's relationship over the years with the charged mogul. 'I can't wait to watch that at your next show,' Kelly added sarcastically. However, she didn't expect anyone to seriously ask the entertainer to clarify her connection to Jay-Z because she's considered 'untouchable.' Kelly isn't the only one who has mocked Beyoncé over her and Jay-Z's friendship status with Diddy. Earlier this month, the rapper 50 Cent — who has gleefully celebrated every update on the record mogul's downfall — took aim at Jay-Z as well. He posted a slideshow featuring photos taken over the years of him and Diddy together, which was soundtracked by Bill Withers and Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers' song Just The Two Of Us.
