If there is one thing Kanye West loves more than controversy, it is Beyonce. He will talk about her, sing about her, and also interrupt other artists’ acceptance speeches to give a shout-out to the Halo singer. If there is one trait that the No Child Left Behind rapper has shown consistently apart from spontaneity, it is his love for Beyonce. But there is nothing weird about that, considering that most people love Beyonce.

It is more common for people to think of Beyonce when ‘Queen’ is mentioned in the context of the music industry. But knowing Kanye West, he always likes to be extravagant, which is why he went ahead and compared Beyonce to Tina Turner. As the legend celebrates her 83rd birthday this year, let us look back to when Ye in an interview with Bossip said Beyonce is greater than Turner.
Kanye West still thinks that Beyonce has had one of the best careers of all time
Kanye West lied when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s speech at the VMA in 2009. He will never finish speaking about how great Beyonce is. One thing to know about the Grammy-winning rapper is that he is passionate about everything he believes, no matter how controversial. If he believes he deserves to be president, he will run for President. And if he believes that Beyonce is one of the greatest musicians of all time, he will go on to say that she is greater than the Queen of Rock n Roll, Tina Turner herself.

He further said that “she is just as great, if not greater, than the artists that we had in the past..that she’s probably greater than Tina Turner.” Tina Turner is a receiver of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and she has received 12 Grammy Awards as well as sold over 100 million records worldwide.

The Typical Male singer is considered as one of the greatest of all time. She is an inspiration for Beyonce herself. The fact that the If I Were a Boy singer is a great artist is no secret if we look at her popularity. Both women are great artists in their own right and definitely do not need the comparison to prove it.
