Beyoncè may be one of the most talented entertainers in the biz, but a serious actress she's not.
Nia Long (where has she been?) is coming for somebody in an article in the July edition of Pride magazine.
Nia doesn't name names, but the inference is enough to gather that she's calling Beyoncè a bad actress.
I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’... When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes’…If you take time to develop your craft, God bless you....If you’re a singer not an actress, you should sing....Jamie Foxx is an example of both [actor and singer].”
In case you didn't know: Beyoncè starred in Obsessed which was released last April.

I concur with Nia Long 100%. I am tired of seeing Rappers and Singers who can't act staring in movies just because they can generate box-office renvue. It is really the public fault. We need to stop purchasing tickets just because Beyonce, Queen Latifah or Alicia Keys are staring in the movie.
The only Rappers that can act is Ice Cube and Mos Def. Everyone else can pretty much sit their azzes down.
I just can't believe the above commenter put Queen Latifah in the same group as Beyonce and Alicia Keys - Latifah can ACT and she's been doing it for a lllloooong time (1991!). Oh, and I agree completely with Nia Long - Beyonce, take a break.
