Dionne Warwick Defends Beyoncé: A Fierce Clapback to Piers Morgan Talking Slick

Music legend Dionne Warwick came to Beyoncé's defense this week following criticism from British commentator Piers Morgan regarding the superstar's appearance and branding, which he claimed involved cultural appropriation. At 82, Warwick utilized her influential social media presence to advocate for Beyoncé's artistic expression, responding to the scrutiny surrounding the Grammy winner’s new Levi’s ad campaign. This campaign features Beyoncé in classic Americana attire, reminiscent of mid-20th century Hollywood glamour, with styling that nods to icons like Marilyn Monroe. Morgan initiated the uproar on August 6, expressing disappointment over what he described as cultural appropriation. In a pointed reply, Warwick challenged Morgan’s involvement, stating, "Getting involved in women’s business again, I see…," resonating with many fans. As criticisms of Beyoncé's style often resurface, Warwick's response highlights her dedication to supporting fellow artists against unwarranted critique, particularly concerning their creative expressions.
