Beyoncé + Jay–Z Tribute Black Athletes CelebNMusic247.com has the latest from Beyonce who showed off two looks. First, she claims to pay tribute to Toni Braxton, with her Phoni Braxton.

With Trump in office, we need celebrities and influencers like Beyonce andJay Z to keep the black community united. 45 continues to try and tear us all down and destroy our government. Voting is key this November, so make sure to vote to get Republicans out of control.

Beyonce showed off her first look as Phoni Braxton, a tribute to Toni Braxton.

Beyonce captioned her photos:

Sending love and adoration to one of our talented legends. Thank you for the countless bops. Your tone, your beauty, your range, and your God-given talent is treasured. Loving you always. Have a Happy Halloween, my Kings and Queens.

We think she looks great, but Phoni Braxton? So was Bey saying Toni is a phony person?

Though Beyonce’s Phoni Braxton landed flat and only mattered to Braxton fans when she showed off her second look people listened.

Bey paid tribute to the unrivaled queen of Olympic track and field, Florence Griffith–Joyner. A three-time gold medalist at the 1988 Olympics, Griffith–Joyner, a.k.a. FloJo set world records for the 100– and 200–meter dash that is still standing today.

Jay-Z posted these pic paying tribute to a member of the 1968 US men’s track and field Olympic team.

The team won two medals in the 200–meter dash, with sprinters Tommie Smith taking gold and John Carlos taking bronze.

Luckily, Jay-Z’s Halloween costume didn’t become the target outrage since he and Bey costumes’ embraced black excellence, but not to generate controversy.

It was to empower black America with his fist in the air to let people know its time to fight. Stand proud, stand black, vote in this increasingly polarized age of politics.
