How is Marvin Gaye related to Beyonce?
After extensive study, we discovered that Marvin Gaye is her half-brother, despite the fact that little is known about him.
Marvin Gaye was also a shining light in the American music industry. He had an almost three-decade career before dying on April 2, 1981, as a result of gunshot wounds.
Beyoncé has been an outspoken supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The release of “Formation” on February 6, 2016, saw her highlight her history, with the song’s music video containing pro-black images and most notably a shot of wall graffiti that states “Stop shooting us”.
She performed the song at the 2016 Super Bowl halftime show with backup dancers dressed as members of the Black Panther Party the day after it was released.
Politicians and police officers were outraged, with some policemen boycotting Beyoncé’s upcoming Formation World Tour.
