On Friday, Queen B released her highly-anticipated album, “Renaissance.”

However, the project has been plagued with some scandal.

[{"selector":"#anim-4959902b-5a17-47dd-8ebe-9fa148e85a0b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d05b36cf-6155-4416-bd46-12dfdb18449e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eca49138-da4a-4c5e-898c-7e4d8e563d9b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The latest involved the use of the ableist slur, “Spaz” in the track “Heated.”
