The girlpower message came across loud and clear at Sunday night's Billboard music awards when Beyoncé electrified the crowd with “Run the World (Girls).” Beyoncé--who raked in $87 million last year, according to Forbes, handily beating out hubby Jay-Z, whose mogulhood earned him $63 million--spelled it out.
“Disrespect us no they won't/Boy don't even try to take us,” she sang, powerful as a fembot and surrounded by a dancing army of other Amazons. “I'm repping for the girls who taking over the world... Boy you know you love it/How we're smart enough to make those millions/Strong enough to bear the children/Then get back to bidness/See, you better not play me!...”
As Beyoncé told the crowd, “Men have been given the chance to rule the world, but ladies, our revolution has begun!”
