Some Beyoncé fans wanted the star to put more effort into her Juneteenth Instagram post, as she seemingly forgot to share credit where it was due.
On June 19, also known officially as Juneteenth National Independence Day, Beyoncé shared pictures with her 312 million followers, celebrating the Black designers who created her outfits. The only problem though, according to many of her followers, was that she didn’t tag any of the designers in the post to share credit.
Juneteenth, which commemorates the day Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to 250,000 African Americans who were still enslaved in Galveston, Texas, at the end of the Civil War, was officially made a federal holiday in 2021. June 19, also known as Emancipation Day, is now celebrated by millions across the United States.
Beyoncé seemingly tried to join in with the spirit of the day by celebrating Black artists, but the gesture fell flat with some fans.
“In honor of Juneteenth, everything I wore for RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR tonight was created exclusively by Black designers,” she wrote on Instagram. Beyoncé posted 10 pictures of herself in a red sparkly dress during a recent performance.00:17Beyonce Marks Juneteenth By Wearing Only Black Designers For Amsterdam Show
