Trip Lee Questions Beyoncé After 2014 Grammy Performance, 'Attention you Draw ... Contradicts the Message'

 

Trip Lee BC Intro

Christian Hip-hop Rapper Trip Lee wrote a recent blog post questioning Beyoncé's' choice to dance provocatively tempting others to lust at the Grammy Awards in Jan.

 

At the 56th Annual Grammy Awards mega-celebrity couple Beyoncé and Jay-z opened up the show with a provocative performance of them singing their hit song, "Drunk in Love."

The singer wore lingerie and the married couple danced sexually on stage.

"Once the queen of class, Beyoncé has bowed to the stalest of pop female conventions: the stripper act sells," Forbes reports of the performance.

Trip Lee opens up his blog post by saying, "It's hard for me to enjoy art without analyzing, taking notes, and asking questions."

He then goes on to say how admired the well renown singer is and points out that even first lady Michelle Obama is extremely fond of her. "The first lady even said if she could be anyone else, she'd want to be Beyoncé," he wrote.

Before questioning the The 32-year-old he states that the two share some common ground.

"Beyoncé and I do have a few things in common. We're both from Texas, and have lots of family in Houston" Lee posted. Explaining, "We're both artists who've released around the same number of solo albums (though she's just a little bit more well known than me) And lastly, we're both sinners in need of God's grace."

Beyoncé often acknowledged as being a voice for women because of her strong feminist views released her self-titled fifth studio album the end of last year. Lee inquires how her strong female empowerment beliefs attest to her often-suggestive lyrics and performances.

 "Do you think the attention you draw to your own beauty and sexuality (which often distracts from your art) contradicts the message in songs like, "Pretty Hurts?" Lee asks. Adding, "In that song, you seem to be encouraging young women not to kill themselves seeking perfection, and to focus on their souls rather than their smiles."

Beyoncé and Jay-z have been married for six years now and many fans say they admire their relationship as something they hope to attain. Lee who is also married questions their new bold public displays of affection. "Is there a way to celebrate married sex without publicly flaunting one's own sexuality and tempting others to lust?" he inquires.

Although the R&B Star has not responded to the Rappers questions many of Christian stars fans appreciate his honestly and approach.    

"Thank you for this," one commented, another saying, "Although I love this lady, I don't listen to her music anymore because I have the exact same type of feelings your questions are displaying."
