Queen Bey has had to calm her Beyhive down over alleged death threats after a video that’s gone viral.
Beyoncé’s publicist has called for her fans not to “spew hate in her name” after the video forced a woman to quit Instagram.
Yvette Noel-Schure posted a picture of the Run The World hitmaker and hubby, Jay-Z, 49, taken during their tour last year, on Instagram, reports SkyNews.

It comes after a video featuring the power couple at a basketball game, sitting with Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob and his wife, Nicole Curran, was shared.
The clip shows Beyoncé, who was smiling, but then looks unimpressed when Nicole leans across her to speak to Jay.
Fans were eager to rek their bekke in defence of Bey, 37, when the video went viral.
A fan, with the handle @somalijawn, wrote: “beyoncé’s face when shorty leaned over to talk to jay. (sic)”
Meanwhile, Nicole says she’s been the target of online abuse, prompting Yvette to urge fans to be kinder.
“I am looking back today at the start of The OTRII tour, one year ago,” she said in her Instagram post. It was a place of joy, unimaginable entertainment from two of the best performers in the world, and a place of love.
“Every single day on that tour I saw love. Which is why I also want to speak here to the beautiful BeyHiVE. I know your love runs deep but that love has to be given to every human. It will bring no joy to the person you love so much if you spew hate in her name. We love you.”
Nicole, who reportedly told ESPN she’d been “getting death threats on social media”, says she’s since deactivated her Instagram account.
All this because, she told a reporter, she’d just asked Jay what he’d like to drink.
She had reportedly been “in tears”, adding: “There was no hostility. I was trying to be a good hostess. I’ve never experienced cyber bullying like this.”
