Beyoncé performed as part of a TIDAL charity event in Brooklyn this weekend and had a little mishap when she ripped her earring off.
It caused her ear to bleed but like a true pro, she carried on like nothing was wrong and now her fans feel like they have to reward her in some way.
TIDAL, the subscription-based music service owned by stars including Jay Z, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and Calvin Harris, held the concert in New York on Saturday to benefit education.
Featuring performances from Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Lauryn Hill, T.I., Alicia Keys, Common, Lil Yachty and Dave East, 100 per cent of ticket sales will be donated to charities including Jay Z’s Sean Carter Foundation and Usher’s New Look.
The Robin Hood Foundation, which works to ‘to raise awareness, and funds in order to create positive social impact focusing on education initiatives around the world’, also benefits from the concert.
This is the second show of its kind; in 2015 TIDAL X: 1020, featured stars including Lil Wayne, Usher and Nick Jonas.
Meanwhile, earlier this week Nicki spoke about her previous collaborations with Beyoncé, saying: ‘Every time Bey and I do something together, I see how women are inspired, and it has nothing to do with how we look.
‘It has to do with how we are owning who we are and telling other women you should be the boss of your own career and the brains behind your life or your decisions or your art. I just love that feeling.’
