KOPI MILLIONI MOJA ZA ALBAMU YA JAY-Z MAGNA CARTA ZILIZOUZWA ZAONEKANA BATILI KUITWA PLATINUM

Beyonce posted an old graduation photo of her beau, Jay-Z on Instagram; the words “bow down” were stamped in bold white letters on the picture. The “Single Ladies” singer wants us to curtsy for Jay-Z. After all, the  Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) hailed Magna Carta Holy Grail as a platinum album. However, Billboard refuses to “bow down” and will not accept Jay-Z’s one million digital sales as platinum, reports EOnline.com

via Beyonce’s Instagram

Jay-Z teamed up with Samsung who agreed to purchase one million digital copies of Magna Carta for its Android customers. “While the album was free for the Samsung customers, the company paid Jay-Z and Roc Nation $5 for each copy,” says TheWrap.
In order to award Sean Carter with a platinum plaque, the RIAA had to change their rules. Originally, sales are only counted a month after the official release of the album. If the rules remained unadjusted, Jay would have to wait 30 days after July 9 to see if he had generated sufficient sales.  But earlier in July, “the certification company altered its rules to instantly qualify appropriate pre-sales towards gold and platinum status,” adds TheWrap.
Billboard, however, isn’t budging to appease Jay-Z. “[I]t wasn’t as simple as you might think to turn down Jay-Z when he requested that we count the million albums that Samsumg ‘bought’ as part of a much larger brand partner ship,” Bill Werde, editorial director of Billboard states, but “nothing was actually for sale.”

I'm Powerful: BEYONCE

Beyonce Knowles knows she is "powerful".

The superstar performer is comfortable knowing how much influence she has over other people.

Following the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy in January last year, Beyoncé is about to make her comeback, and has big things planned for the future.

"I now know that, yes, I am powerful," she revealed to the US edition of GQ magazine."I'm more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand."

The star revealed where her belief in her ability comes from. She has been given creative freedom right from the very start of her career in the music industry.

"You know, when I was writing the Destiny's Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn't know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it," she continued. "It is my goal in life to be that example. And I think it will, hopefully, trickle down, and more artists will see that. Because it only makes sense. It's only fair."

8 Black Stars Who Are Addicted to Blonde Hair (Give the Bleach a Rest Already!)

Black Celebs with Blonde Hair Black Stars Addicted to Blonde Hair Black Women and Blonde Hair Janice Combs Blonde Hair Keri Hilson Blonde Hair Lil Kim Blonde Hair MAry J. Blige Blonde Hair Sisqo Blonde Hair

Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on facebook_like

Switching your hair color every now and then is a fun, fresh way to change your look. The following celebs though seem to have a strong attraction to a bottle of bleach and their colorists. Check ‘em out…

1. Beyoncé

Likely the Queen Bey of blacks gone blonde, the singer has gone through various levels of sunshine strands over the years. We think it suits her golden undertones quite well.

2. Keri Hilson

About the only thing you can safely say that Keri and Beyoncé have in common are their honey hued tresses. Just don’t let Keri hear you say that though…she might go all postal on you.

3. Nene Leakes

Nene wears her blonde well in cropped ‘dos. The length is perfect as anyone who has ever had a double process can attest to.

4. Mary J. Blige

There’s no doubt about it, Mary loves her some blonde. We dig it on her, too. Her honey skin carries it nicely.

5. Janice Combs

Mama Combs will show out with her collection of platinum wigs. Despite our constant dissing of her style, we actually admire Ms. Combs’s forever young spirit. Just step away from the Marilyn Monroe wigs, Ms. C.

6. Eva Marcille

It all somewhat started when Tyra lightened the diva’s locks on America’s Next Top Model and once brightened, Eva never turned back.

7. Lil Kim

By the time you go through all the things wrong with Kim’s look these days, her blonde hair is the last on the list. *sigh*

8. Sisqo

We’ll say it ourselves. We’re dead wrong for this one, but here’s one good side…we at least brought it to attention. Can someone go check up on Sisqo and see if he’s doing alright? All these years out of the limelight we can’t imagine what his process is looking like these days.

StyleBlazers, do these stars need to give the bleach a rest?
