Beyoncé can do no wrong in a lot of people’s minds. She’s synonymous with the word flawless for goodness’ sake. However her “big announcement” on Good Morning America today turned out to be a major letdown. They teased, “Beyoncé has something amazing that she wants you to know. So what is it?” Was she going to announce tour dates? Drop a new album? Was she pregnant with baby number two?! Nope, she’s just vegan, which every Queen Bey fan has known since 2013.
In a recorded message, Beyoncé praised a plant-based diet and The 22-Day Revolution, a food and exercise regimen devised by Marco Borges, for helping her get in shape. Yawn.
In the clip, Beyoncé said, “I am not naturally the thinnest woman. I have curves. I’m proud of my curves and I have struggled since a young age with diets. Finding something that actually works, actually keeps the weight off has been difficult for me.”
See the clip below, along with fan reactions.

If Akon can provide light to a billion people, imagine what Beyoncé could do if she wasn't so busy telling everyone she's a fucking vegan.

Beyonce hasn't even promoted her own MUSIC like she's promoted Veganism in the last 4 years.

Let us know when you have a real announcement, Bey. We’re talking sibling for Blue Ivy. We’ll be waiting.
