Attack may be to strong of a word, but Suede's guitarist Bernard Butler did insult the American stars during last weekend's Hackney Weekend!Butler lashed out at Beyonce, calling the singer "a non-stop insincere PR trip".
I can see it now Beyonce fans are about to chime in to her defense, but lets hear the whole story first before fists start swingin.
Posting on Twitter after Beyonce appeared at BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend on Saturday (June 23) to watch her husband Jay-Z perform,
Butler wrote:
I'm decades behind music and all popular culture. I see Beyonce as a nonstop insincere PR trip . Id rather hangout with Henry Sellers #ted
He continued: "How does anybody fall for that bollocks?"
When asked by a Twitter follower to clarify his comments, Butler admitted that he "absolutely adores" the singer's 2003 hit 'Crazy In Love'. He explained that his tweets referred to "the love for her standing in the security pit surrounded by 100 sycophants".
Butler also criticized Jay-Z's performance at the Hackney Weekend, claiming that it was inferior to a previous appearance on Later with Jools Holland.
He wrote: "Jay-Z on 'Later' had an amazing drummer, live guitar player, and on the Radio 1 thing it was him and Kanye a like a pair of 40 year-old A&R men who can't dance shouting "London oh yeah", whilst an iPod played Otis Redding. I can do that at home . But without them 2 falling around the front room."

See, he didn't just take the piss out of Beyonce, he went for Jay-Z and Kanye too. If you're going to go for one, go for them all!
Summarizing his Twitter review of Jay-Z's Hackney appearance, the former Suede guitarist decided: "We're poor if that was theater."
