Beyoncé Caves to Woke Mob, Removes Word ‘Spazz’ After Accusations of ‘Abilityism’


Beyoncé gives in to woke cancellation crowd by agreeing to drop the word ‘spazz’ from her new album Renaissancefollowing complaints that the word is ableist.

“The word, which is not intentionally used in a harmful way, will be replaced,” a spokesperson for the pop diva said in a statement sent Monday to multiple news outlets.

The word “spazz” and its variants are used in the song “Heated”, which is the 11th track on the album. “Spazzin’ on that ass, spazz on that ass,” sings Beyonce. The lyrics occur late in the number, about two-thirds of the way through the single.

“Spazz” is seen by some activists as a capacity slur against people with spastic muscle disorders. Woke activists don’t seem to have a problem with the use of the n-word or the abundance of profanity in the song.

The wrathful anger towards Beyoncé appears to stem from a recent article in The Guardian who complained about the pop star’s use of the word “spazz.”

“Beyoncé’s commitment to telling stories musically and visually is unparalleled, as is her power to draw the world’s attention to the stories, struggles and nuanced lived experience of being a black woman,” says the item. “But that doesn’t excuse his use of ableist language.”

Beyoncé’s decision to appease the woke crowd comes shortly after fellow pop star Lizzo publicly apologized to her fans following similar accusations of ableism over the use of the word “spazz” in her new single “GRRRLS”.
