Users — and likely a few bots — take to Queen Bey’s IG to question her connection to the fallen mogul.

Social media users — and likely more than a few bots — have resorted to commenting

on Beyoncé‘s Instagram account en masse following the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs. In screenshots captured by VIBE on Friday afternoon (Sept. 27,) users question the 43-year-old’s knowledge of nefarious behavior that occurs in the music industry, particularly that of Mr. Combs.

From GIFs and memes to verbal accusations, the comments range from demanding facts to outright accusing Queen Bey of selling her soul.

“How can you admire someone involved in disturbing things?” questions one Instagram account.

 


“We want the truth,” wrote one user in all caps.

 

“Selling your soul really wasn’t worth it was it? What goes up MUST come down!” exclaimed another.

 

One commenter even brought her husband into the mix, adding, “I can’t wait to see Jay-Z go down for everyone he’s wronged.” This comes after Suge Knight claimed the Brooklyn rapper as well as Dr. Dre, and additional industry leaders were privy to Combs’ behaviors.

Anyone who signs up for the social media platform is able to leave a comment with their own account, however, this can be changed to either turn comments off or limit access to certain platforms. For the 32-time Grammy Award winner, however, she will likely welcome words of kindness from her celebrity fans, loyal Bey hive, and industry connections, as the love greatly outweighs the trolls.

As for Combs, he currently remains behind bars on racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution charges after being arrested in New York City earlier this month.

Neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z are mentioned in the 14-page unsealed indictment. VIBE has reached out to Beyonce’s team for a statement on the influx of negative comments. See the screenshots below.
