Opposites Attract (Bilyoncé)

"I Hope"

Beyoncé's P.O.V.

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I was headed to Los Angeles on my private jet along with my bodyguard, Julius. We were watching a movie and just talking about how fun Kehlani's party was going to be. I was so anxious to see Billie though. All I could think about was hugging and kissing her....But my fantasies about Billie and I were interrupted by a phone call from Rihanna.

I figured she was just calling to see if I had arrived yet. She lives in LA so I told her I would let her know when I made it. However, she had some news for me that I wasn't ready for.

"Um.....I'm going to have to beat the shit out those money hungry bitches at you and Nicki's record label", she said.

Onika, A.K.A. Nicki Minaj, and I are on the same record label. She and I had recently recorded a song together for her upcoming album called "Feelin' Myself".

"What the hell is going on now, Ri?", I asked.

"Well, I'll let Nicki tell you. Hold on...."

Rihanna passed Nicki the phone. And Nicki didnt hesitate to go off about the bullshit our label was pulling.

"These dumb ass hoes are trying to pull a PR stunt to sell our song. They didn't send you the stupid email?!", she asked.

Fun fact about me....I never checked my own emails. I put Shawn in charge of checking them. Which meant his ass seen it, but was waiting for the "right time" to piss me off with the foolery!

"I can guarantee you Shawn saw it, but he's too scared to tell me about it. This is some crazy shit! You're in a relationship with Rihanna and this might mess up things between me and Billie. They don't give a damn about our personal lives at all", I ranted.

"That fucking part! As soon as me and Ri decide to make this thing official they go and pull some crazy shit like this!". Nicki exclaimed.

This was all bad. First of all, Rihanna and I started out in the industry together and have been besties for ten years. So the fact that I had to pretend to be her girlfriend's girlfriend was some foul shit. Plus, I just don't like being fake. I hate lying. This was just  ridiculous....

"I know this is supposed to be fake but I don't like this at all. I already have a girl that I'm talking to. Billie would never understand why I have to act like I'm in a relationship with somebody else while I'm supposed to be working on being in one with her. Let me call Shawn right quick", I said to Nicki.

"Ok. Still let us know when you land", Nicki said.

I agreed to do so and ended the call. I facetimed Shawn because I needed him to see the rage in my eyes!

"Hey, Bey....."

"Don't hey Bey me, Mr. Carter! I know you saw that damn email!", I exclaimed.

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "You told me not to worry you about business while you're on break. I told the record label we would have to discuss it when you're off your hiatus", Shawn explained.

Ok, yes....I did tell him not to bug me about anything work related while I'm on hiatus. But this was a need to know situation. Because why the hell were they trying to force me to pretend to be with Nicki just to sell a damn song! As if the Beyhive and the Barbz haven't been begging us to collaborate for years. They didn't need us to pretend to be together in order to support our music....

"Shawn, what the fuck is wrong with them?! I want out of this contract! Can't I just buy my way out of this shit?", I asked.

"Look, the good news is your contract expires next year and you only owe them one more album. They only want you and Nicki to do this until the song reaches number one on Billboard's top 200, has at least 500 million streams on Apple and Spotify, and sells at least 3 million copies on the first day released. Then y'all can have a fake break up after that. You'll both release a joint statement on social media saying you've decided to just be friends due to your hectic work schedules or something like that", Shawn explained.
