It was history made, for Beyonce Knowles at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival which began on Friday, 13th April as she became the first black woman to headline the Music and Arts festival. The festival which held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California had Beyonce slated as one of its headliners. Although Beyonce was scheduled to headline the event in 2017 she was however forced to cancel due to pregnancy.
The performance featured several surprise appearances, one from her husband Jay-Z who joined her on stage to perform "DEJA VU", her sister Solange and a Destiny Child reunion. It was a blast like that. A real blast!
Beyonce thrilled fans at the festival with an electrifying performance that lasted for close to two hours. A performance so grand that fans have rebranded the Coachella, yes, Coachella now has a new name if you haven't known yet. Wait for it... Beychella! You heard it right, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been renamed "Beychella".

For most people, Beyonce's performance was a restatement of the known fact that she is black and that she is proud of it. For the conspiracy theorists the performance screamed "Illuminati!". Lmao.
We think Beyonce's performance was centered around different themes, the most powerful of which were, Black Pride and Girl Power. Beyonce could have been anything at Coachella, but she choose a proud black feminist and we think every black person out there ought to be proud to share the same colour and history with this extraordinary woman the same way she is proud of her colour and history and the people who share it with her, as her history making performance reeked of BLACK in every dimension, beginning from her opening the show with the Black National Anthem, the Malcolm X's quotes, a tribute to Nigeria's own king of Afrobeats, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, even to her choice of dresses for the night. One dress which particularly caught our attention was one which had on its crest the head of a Nubian Queen, the Black Power fist, the Black Panther symbol, a black bee and on to of it, a winged pyramid with the eye of Horus in the middle! If all this doesn't say "Black and proud" for you, we don't know what does.
In fact, One particularly excited fan went on to tweet "the greatest living entertainer is a black woman named Beyonce..." and we are not about to argue with her. Yes, we love you too Bey!
