Keyshia Cole put Beyonce on blast for referring to women by the B-word in her new song “Bow Down / I Been On” but that’s not what Rush Limbaugh takes offense with, according to a new statement cited by Billboard.

Completely misunderstanding the message of the song, Limbaugh says that it’s sad to hear someone who used to call herself a feminist urge other women to “bow down to their husbands.”

In fact (as you can find out for yourself by giving the song a listen, as long as you *note that discretion is recommended for language that might offend), Beyonce is telling other women to bow down before her because she’s got it made.

However, Limbaugh laments the change she’s made, from telling women never to take any kind of aggravation from their men, to commanding them to bow down… if their men have enough money.

“Beyonce, now having been married, having been impregnated and given birth to Blue Ivy, she's going out on a new tour. […] Beyonce's now saying, ‘go ahead and put up with it.’ And you know why? I'll tell you why. She married the rich guy,” Limbaugh says.

“She's even calling herself Mrs. Carter on the tour. She has shelved Beyonce. She's gonna call herself Mrs. Carter on the Bow Down [expletive]s Tour. That's the title of the single that's fronting the tour. And the advice to these women is put up with it. Bow down, [expletive]s. Because why? She got married. She married the rich guy. She now understands that it's worth it to bow down,” he continues.
