Trouble is pouring in for Beyonce as the Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has blasted her halftime performance at the Super Bowl and has accused her of using the platform to attack police officers.
It is being said that the 34-year-old songstress used her moments in the spotlight to highlight racial tension with her dancers wearing berets similar to those worn by the Black Panthers, reports News.com.au.
Meanwhile, Beyonce's dancers even posed for a picture with their fists raised to the sky, evoking the black power salute by two prominent athletes during the 1968 Olympic Games.
They also snapped a shot while holding a sign that read, "Justice 4 Mario Woods," referring to the 26-year-old man shot dead in December by San Francisco police.
Giuliani said that he thought that Beyonce used it as a platform to attack police officers, who are the people who protect her and protect them and keep them alive.
He added that they should build up respect for police officers in the African-American community.
However, this is not the first time that the 'Formation' hit-maker is bringing the cause of groups such as Black Lives Matter into her performances.
