Beyonce faced backlash after wearing a T-shirt during her Cowboy Carter tour performance in Paris that featured imagery of the Buffalo Soldiers and text describing them in a context deemed offensive. The shirt's narrative suggested that Native Americans and Mexican revolutionaries were perpetrators, not victims, of American historical conflicts. This led to widespread discussion on social media, with many Indigenous influencers and fans critiquing the accuracy and implications of this portrayal, emphasizing the need for a truthful reckoning about American history and its impact on marginalized communities. Beyonce's team has not yet issued a comment about the controversy.
