If the police fail to protect Beyonce on her upcoming "Formation World Tour" in the wake of Super Bowl 50 performance criticism from Rudy Guiliani and Javier Oritz, the President of The Miami Fraternal Order Police, calling for law enforcement nationwide to boycott her shows, she won't have to worry.
During a fiery sermon in Detroit on Sunday, February 21, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan vowed to provide the singer with safekeeping from the Fruit of Islam.
"Guiliani said, 'On the greatest platform in the world, the Super Bowl.' She started talking that black stuff. And white folks were like, 'We don't know how to deal with that.' Well, you taught us everywhere we went about the Holocaust," Farrakhan said. "But we have sympathy for you. But when one of us shows independence ... look at how you're treating Beyonce now. You gon' picket? You're not gonna offer her police protection? But the FOI will."
As we previously reported, the firestorm around Beyonce's salute to the Black Panther Party during her performance at Super Bowl 50, has led to some saying she was anti-police.
“I thought that it was really outrageous she used it as a platform to attack police officers, who are the people who protect her and protect us and keep us alive,” Giuliani said on Fox News. “And what we should be doing, in the African-American community and in all communities, is build up respect for police officers and focus on the fact that when something does go wrong, OK, we’ll work on that.”
The singer's music video for the song "Formation," in which she celebrates her heritage and tackles police brutality, has also drawn the ire of critics.
