Do you think Beyoncé ‘s videos and songs are
overly sexual? Her Pastor speaks on criticism.
Queen Bey, her parents Tina and Matthew
Knowles , as well as her best friend Kelly Rowland ,
have been members of St. John’s United
Methodist Church for a long time.
Global humanitarian and author Rudy Rasmus is
a co-pastor at the church. In 2008, he joined Jay
Z and Beyoncé in holy matrimony.
He says the power couple’s relationship is
stronger than ever. “They’re friends. Their
relationship is healthy and life has been good.”
In an interview with The Grio , he speaks on
criticism from people including Christians, for
her explicit lyrics and videos.
“Beyoncé is a consummate entertainer, and an
entertainer entertains.
Is the entertainer’s entertainment an expression of that
person’s life and reality? I don’t know.
But I know when Arnold Schwarzenegger straps on a
30 caliber cannon and blows planes out of the sky,
nobody asks the question, ‘Arnold why are you walking
around for those 90 minutes in that suit with that 30
caliber cannon? What kind of person are you?’ I don’t
think I’ve heard that question.
But at the end of the day, Arnold Schwarzenegger is an
entertainer.
I think a person has the right to earn a living in the
way that they are gifted, and I think that she is
tremendously gifted and I think she expresses that gift in
some amazing ways.
I think the world would be void an extreme talent if we
silenced her or censored her.”
