"Why I Was Disappointed After Featuring In Beyonce Song" -- Chimamanda Adichie by TunezMedia: 6:25am On Oct 11, 2016
Chimamanda Adichie has revealed that she gets disappointed and feels irritated whenever people insists that her popularity was was attributed to Beyoncé.

Beyonce had used  a clip of her ‘We should all be feminist,’ TED Talk for her hit song, “Flawless”  in 2013 and since then, she had suffered from misconceptions around the world.

However, she is happier that people are  aware of the word, feminism.

She said “In the first place: of course Beyoncé asked permission to use my texts, and I did give her permission. I think she’s lovely and I am convinced that she has nothing but the best intentions. In addition, Beyoncé is a celebrity of the first order and with this song she has reached many people who would otherwise probably never have heard the word feminism, let alone gone out and buy my essay.”

She went on to say “But I was shocked about how many requests for an interview I received when that song was released. 

Literally every major newspaper in the world wanted to speak with me about Beyoncé. I felt such a resentment (laughs loudly). I thought: are books really that unimportant to you? Another thing I hated was that I read everywhere: now people finally know her, thanks to Beyoncé, or: she must be very grateful. I found that disappointing. I thought: I am a writer and I have been for some time and I refuse to perform in this charade that is now apparently expected of me: “Thanks to Beyoncé, my life will never be the same again.” That’s why it didn’t speak about it much.”

“Her style is not my style, but I do find it interesting that she takes a stand in political and social issues, since a few years. She portrays a woman who is in charge of her own destiny, who does her own thing, and she has girl power. I am very taken with that.”
