*A woman named Jackie Hill Perry is going viral after alleging Kehlani and Beyonce’s music is demonic.
Perry’s Instagram profile reportedly lists her as a poet, teacher, writer, and disciple who believes Bey’s music is impure.
“I am angry that the powers that be in social media, and in culture, and in music, and in Beyonce’s music and Kehlani’s music […] like, I’m angry,” she said to a crowd in a clip shared by Hollywood Unlocked.
“That they’re really trying to convince us that all spiritualism is the same. And we have digested this impurity. We want so bad not to be legalistic that we actually become profane,” Perry continued.
Beyonce has been accused of being some sort of demonic Illuminati queen (something she addressed in her hit song “Formation”) but her music has mostly pushed empowering messages, especially for women.

Fans flooded the comments of Hollywood Unlock’s post to react to Perry’s commentary. One person wrote, “No one has ever put Beyonce and Kehlani in the same sentence. Respectfully.”
Another said, “Praising the religion of those who kidnapped, raped, and tortured your ancestors is wild. Oh and by the way, the Jesus they knew was very different than the modern day Jesus people worship. But go off sis.”
A third commented, “I’m a beyonce fan I love her yet I understand what Jackie Hill Perry is saying… About music in general. There’s a trend of mysticism in current music that does subliminally open us up to certain things. I just noticed that SZA’s Kill Bill has a lyric that says… “rather be in hell than alone”. Tho I like metaphors. That’s probably a lyric I shouldn’t continuously sing.”
Another person commented, “These pastors say Beyoncé’s name to go viral and it’s a shame. Do they not feel evil constantly putting down someone just for clicks and possible revenue for their churches?”
