Pop royalty Beyonce on Friday released her much-hyped visual album 'Black Is King,' an aesthetically ambitious video billed as a companion to her 2019 album of songs inspired by Disney's live-action remake of 'The Lion King.'
Simultaneously one of music's most private but most-watched stars, the 38-year-old uses her massive social media platform to curate her image and promote her work imbued with broad social commentary on topics including gender and race.
Many social media users noted that Disney Plus is not accesible in African nations, and that while Beyonce has performed some shows on the continent, her tours haven't included dates there in years. A-listers including the superstar's hip hop mogul husband Jay-Z, actress Lupita Nyong'o, jack-of-all-trades Pharrell Williams and model Naomi Campbell all feature in the production.
