<p>Beyoncé received <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/beyonce-confirms-she-will-remove-ableist-slur-on-new-album-a-month-after-lizzo-was-compelled-to-do-the-same/">backlash</a> after &#8220;Renaissance&#8221; dropped because she used the word &#8220;spaz,&#8221; which is viewed by the disabled community and those in the UK as an ableist slur. In the track titled &#8220;Heated,&#8221; the mother of three says: &#8220;Sp*zzin&#8217; on that a**, sp*z on that a**.&#8221; She recently changed the lyric to &#8220;blast.&#8221;</p>
<p>People on Twitter created a discussion centering AAVE and the Black community. Some people stated the artist shouldn&#8217;t have changed AAVE because for the Black community and in the US, it is a verb, not a noun, which is why it is not a slur.</p>

<p>She released an apology to her fans and said in part:</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s been brought to my attention that there is a harmful word in my new song &#8220;GRRRLS.&#8221; Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language. As a fat black woman in America, I&#8217;ve had many hurtful words used against me so I overstand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally).</p></blockquote>
<p>Roomies, what do you think of this?</p>
