While Beyonce has solidified her position in the hierarchy of melodic music, it's clear that the Houston legend is a woman of many talents. Yesterday, she surprised fans (and got they Beyhive good and riled up) with an unexpected contribution to Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage." And though a Beyonce feature in itself tends to feel like big news, it's even more monumental when she's laying down some bars.

Of course, Beyonce is no stranger to the act of rapping, having dabbled in the art form on her various solo albums and the Jay-Z-assisted Everything Is Love; lest we forget a time when the mass consensus awarded her top position on "Apeshit." Naturally, the return of rapping Beyonce was more than enough to spark mass hysteria across social media -- a response made all the more potent by the highly topical and suggestive mention of OnlyFans.
"Hips TikTok when I dance/On that Demon Time, she might start an OnlyFans," raps Beyonce, in the opening lines. It didn't take long for OnlyFans to catch wind of the reference, issuing a statement on the matter to Rolling Stone: “Beyonce, and any artist, are welcome to join OnlyFans at any time to foster a deeper connection with their fans.” What they fail to mention, being that it's clearly implied, are the connotations behind Beyonce's lyric -- after all, if there's one thing people won't shirk on, even amidst a recession, it's smut.
