Ms Tina has revealed that Beyoncé decided to make #BlackIsKing when she heard the story of Solomon Linda, the S. African composer of Lion Sleeps Tonight who received no credit from Disney. She decided to fix that injustice and show the beauty of Africa from the eyes of Africans.
The only song in Black Is King that was in The Lion King is this song, but instead of using Disney's "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", she uses Solomon's original "Mbube" and credits it as such, meaning that Solomon's children receive the royalties. I love Beyoncé so much 😭😭
Remember to watch Black Is King on Disney+ !!
If you wanted to see how much more of an absolute angel Beyoncé is, in the same interview Tina said that she reached out to the family from this video and Beyoncé will be speaking with the little girl 😩😭
Also please give Black Is King 5 stars on IMDb! Racists are making the score go very low and are writing disgusting comments. We should all want to show our appreciation for Bey by uplifting the film she put so much heart, thought, time and money into 💗

Also Beyoncé believed that as well as having white ppl taking the credit for black ppl's work, the original Lion King was whitewashed with a white cast and crew and on top of that they used animals instead of black ppl. Beyoncé decided to right all of those wrongs in #BlackIsKing
Shameful 😔 Everyone please help!!
@BeyLegion do the thing 😈
@BeyLegion I meant promote the gift not steal my tweets 💀
Always wanted to do this @BeyViral 😌
Ok we need EVERYONE'S help! A racist just gave Black Is King a bad review, which was filled with racism, sexism & ableism. Despite this, it has counted for Rotten Tomatoes and the film is no longer on 100% 😭 PLEASE use this thread to report the review 🙏
