Beyoncé likes hip-hop music. The R&B artist has long admired music and culture, ever since Destiny’s Child asked Wyclef Jean to remix their song “No, No, No” in the late 1990s. Since that time, Beyoncé has dabbled in rapping at various points in her long career, even before she rose to fame in hip-hop after marrying millionaire rapper Jay-Z.

Beyoncé’s 2013 SoundCloud release “I Be Down,” a chopped-and-screwed banger, features Houston as a tribute in another great hip-hop moment. The 24-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist raps on the song, exuding confidence and boldness akin to her male rap contemporaries.

Beyoncé is one of our generation’s best performers, but the majority of her fans only know her as a singer. However, Queen B has demonstrated throughout the time that she is also a capable rapper. Beyoncé just provided another reminder of her MC prowess on the remix of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” rapping about Demon Time and OnlyFans accounts in case you somehow missed her verses on songs like “Apeshit” or “Diva.” So it seems appropriate to go through her background behind the microphone at this point. Here are 15 instances in which Beyoncé showed her skill as a rapper.
