A pastor has recently spoken out to the masses, telling her followers that she believes Beyonce is a "witch." According to Tiphani Montgomery, who recently gave a speech at a Covered By God event, Queen Bey has been cracking out those spells and potions and bewitching people into following her. The self-proclaimed "prophetess" warned her own followers about the dangers of getting hooked by the Grammy-award-winning artist, even going on to slam Christians that do. "Any of you who are going to Beyoncé's concert I rebuke you in the name of Jesus, how dare you call yourself a Christian," she said during a clip from the event that was posted to TikTok on February 12th. "I don't care what pastor you got who's OK with it, I don't care what pastor you got that think it's cool, I don't care what pastor you got that sing along to the songs because they want some clout."

"When a witch has a coven it's normally a small thing. Witch's covens are normally three to seven people," she continued. "When it becomes thousands it's called a hive. Y'all a part of that lady Beyhive? And you call yourself a Christian? May the dealings of the Lord come upon you." The video has since been viewed over 20,000 times on TikTok and a further 30,000 times on Instagram, earning Montgomery some new fans, along with some new haters too.

"This is how believers should be taken a stand but most of us are quiet! We have been quiet long enough!", another added. A third compared Montgomery to John the Baptist writing: "This woman is a modern day John the Baptist. Speaking the truth no matter what the masses think or feel." "I had no idea the 'B hive' had a meaning to it. Damn it makes sense now." <img class="wp-image-1263196158 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-21-at-15.51.05-1024x287.png" alt="" width="1024" height="287" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263196159 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-21-at-15.51.32-1024x268.png" alt="" width="1024" height="268" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263196160 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-21-at-15.51.52-1024x277.png" alt="" width="1024" height="277" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263196161 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-21-at-15.54.11-1024x223.png" alt="" width="1024" height="223" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] But not everyone was as supportive of her views. "Hopefully this frees up a bunch of tickets," joked one user, who clearly is a Beyonce fan. "But, didn’t you... nevermind." "Say it to her face then," challenged another fan. <img class="wp-image-1263196163 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-21-at-15.52.09-1024x198.png" alt="" width="1024" height="198" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263196164 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-21-at-15.52.51-1024x192.png" alt="" width="1024" height="192" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263196166 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-21-at-15.53.21.png" alt="" width="1668" height="308" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] "I wonder what happened. Back in 2014 when she went it was okay but now that it's disco music it’s witchery?", commented another user after Tiphani's other critics labeled her a "hypocrite" after unearthing old deleted tweets where she declared herself to be a fan of Beyonce, and even said she attended the singer's shows, as per the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11772765/Pastor-sparks-outrage-labeling-Beyonce-WITCH.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>. <img class="wp-image-1263196165 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-21-at-15.53.04-1024x266.png" alt="" width="1024" height="266" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] "Am I the only one addicted to Beyonce's song: Why don't u love me??? #nowplaying It again smh," she tweeted in 2010. Then in 2014, she also tweeted: "Got a chance to catch the Jay Z and Beyonce concert and it was AMAZING!!!" [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/PirateCoop/status/1625242695592472590]] However, the pastor did eventually address the issue, stating that she was a former fan before she found God. "I publicly came against and denounced their god baalyonce (sic) so they found these tweets from 2010, 2011, 2014. But I had just did a YouTube the night before saying I was the BIGGEST jay z and baalyonce (sic) fan… until I got saved in my shower in August 2015." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Tiphani_M/status/1625011011299205121]] It seems as though those vocal fans weren't the only ones that saw the video, as former Destiny's Child member and long-term friend of Beyonce, Michelle Williams, also decided to address the issue via her official Instagram account. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLWDbcvngd/]] "It also looks like I am entering the chat," Williams started. "I am just watching a lot going on, things that are being said, specifically about entertainers, specifically about entertainers that I even have relationships with, entertainers that I know off the stage." She continued: "I just wish we would pray as publicly for entertainers as we rebuke them and damn their soul to hell. I know it ain't my calling mission to damn entertainers to hell and to say that they would drop dead. The devil is a lie."
