The Beyhive must wait a little longer to receive anticipated news from its queen as Beyoncé postponed a scheduled announcement.
Initially set to reveal mysterious plans on Tuesday (Jan. 14), the mother of three issued a statement clarifying that her secretive yet anticipated move would wait as Los Angeles battles wildfires that have caused unprecedented destruction.
“The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles,” detailed the memo shared across social media. “I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss,” she continued. “We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community.”
The delay was shared days after it was revealed that the Lemonade performer’s nonprofit organization BeyGood made a hefty donation towards wildfire relief efforts.
“Los Angeles we stand with you,” stated the BeyGood foundation on Sunday. “BeyGOOD is taking action by announcing the LA Fire Relief Fund with a donation of 2.5 million dollars. The fund is earmarked to aid families in the Altadena/Pasadena area who lost their homes, and to churches and community centers to address the immediate needs of those affected by the wildfires.”
