The Queen of Pop, as we call the singer, Beyonce, is continuing to prove every bit of it, and at the recently held MTV Video Music Awards, where she brought along several guests- including the mothers —of four unarmed black men killed recently in the US— Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant and Eric Garner —who are seen in Beyonce’s video album ‘Lemonade’, holding up photos of their sons.

The Formation singer has been outspoken about the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, and has often supported the movement through her music videos, yet again repeated her act, at one of the biggest Music Award show by welcoming the mothers, and posing with them on the show’s special white carpet, just ahead of the event.

In April, McSpadden, Carr and Fulton also showed up in the Lemonade video, during the song ‘Freedom’. The mothers of the deceased— Brown, the 18-year-old, was brutally shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missour, Martin, the 17-year-old, was shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Florida, Grant, the 22-year-old was fatally shot by a transportation security office in Oakland, California, and Garner, the 43-year-old, died after being placed in a chokehold by police in New York City—have become the core interest of the movement. They have also appeared at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, where they voiced their support for Hillary Clinton.

Beyonce, belted out a spectacular performance with a medley of tracks from her album Lemonade, she ended her show with a powerful verse surrounded by flames, called ‘Formation’.

She later went on to win the Best Female Video for ‘Hold Up’, and took home Video of the Year honors for ‘Formation’ — claiming victory in a stacked category that found her competing with the likes of Kanye West, Adele and Drake.
