The-Dream, Eve and Kelly Rowland Defend Beyonce
Today The-Dream appeared on The Breakfast Club radio show and talked about Keyshia Cole dissing Beyonce's song "Bow Down."
When DJ Envy asked him about how artists beefing affects his work as a writer, and Cole’s name was brought up. Dream was not ashamed to admit that Keyshia and her veneers won’t be seeing ink from his pen anytime soon. “Right now because of what happened, I can’t. I think she would respect why I can’t,” the songwriter said. “ have a grown-up conversation, like ‘Yo you talkin’ ’bout my family.’ Like, you can’t do that.”
A few days earlier, Eve also defended the singer. “Beyoncé is on such a level that she doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone at all,” she told Radio.com. “That’s why some people don’t like that record. If you listen to the lyrics and some of the things she’s saying, she definitely is coming at some specific person, which is ‘Why do you even care.’ But at the same time, she’s a bossy b****. Do it.”
The rapper applauds Beyonce’s artistic expression. “Let artists make the music they feel like making,” she said. “We all know who she is…She’s having fun. Why not?”
Another person who stood up for the song was Kelly Rowland: "I've heard pieces of what she's done. She's heard things that I've recorded and I just think it scratches the surface to everything else. I think it's a great record ("Bow Down"). It's her expression. I think, as an artist, you can express yourself however you want to and I just can't wait for everybody to hear the rest of the record. It is insane."
