Fans were very unhappy with the Countdown singer performing in Dubai.
Despite the jarring false equivalences in her Tweet, Beyonce doesn't live in Qatar. She does, however, live in America. You can't expect someone to stop working where they live, but you sure as hell can expect someone to conscientiously object to flying out to another continent.
