Beyoncé has finally released her new visual album ‘Black is King’ on Disney+, and the stunning project is stacked with celebrity cameos from Queen B’s famous friends and collaborators.
Of course, the real scene stealer was 8-year-old Blue Ivy Carter, whose appearance in the trailer threw Twitter into a frenzy.
But stars like Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong’o, Pharrell Williams, and more definitely deserve honorable mentions.
Here, every celebrity cameo in ‘Black is King.’
During the sequence for ‘Water’ with Salatiel, Williams appears in front of a large blue tile wall, wearing a teal outfit.
Nigerian singer Wizkid introduces the track ‘Brown Skin Girl,’ backed by a pink wall and suited women.
Beyoncé’s sings about a few famous friends during a verse in “Brown Skin Girl.” First up is supermodel Naomi Campbell: “Pose like a trophy when Naomis walk in / She need an Oscar for that pretty dark skin.”
Next is Nyong’o, who appears in a stunning white gown as Beyoncé sings: “Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in,” referring to the actress’s successful career. Nyong’o won an Oscar in 2014 for her role in 12 Years a Slave.
Last is Beyoncé’s good friend and Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland. Bey uses a play on words with Rowland’s last name: “Drip broke the levee when my Kellys roll in.”
The Sudanese model also appears during the “Brown Skin Girl” segment alongside Campbell.
Flanked by two dancers, Reyez performs “Scar” during a dramatic scene in the woods.
It’s not uncommon for Jay-Z to make an appearance in one of Bey’s projects, this time making his entrance in a black chauffeured car.
