In an opinion piece for Hireup that was republished in The Guardian, writer and disability advocate Hannah Diviney expressed her disappointment in Beyoncé, writing that her artistry “doesn’t excuse her use of ableist language - language that gets used and ignored all too often. The lyric has since been changed to “blastin’ on that ass, blast on that ass.” That means, within 24 hours of her representative’s statement, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter dropped what she was doing, did a quick vocal warm-up, and sang a variation of the words “ass blast” into a studio-grade microphone. “The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced,” a Bey rep said in a statement. Points have been deducted for the use of an ableist slur on track 11, “Heated.” The song, a collaboration with Drake, features the lyric, “spazzin’ on that ass, spaz on that ass.” Determined not to let one offensive moment dull the album’s shine, Beyoncé will be removing the lyric from the track, Insider reports.
