Beyoncé just fired back—hard—at Donald Trump, and she did it in the sharpest way possible: through a scathing parody on national TV.
After Trump unleashed a bizarre late-night rant on social media Saturday, falsely claiming that Democrats “illegally” paid Beyoncé $11 million for endorsing Kamala Harris, the pop icon hit back with fire. In the same breath, Trump also demanded criminal charges against Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Al Sharpton, and former Vice President Harris—citing laws that simply don’t exist.
“There is no such law,” CNN confirmed. “And there is no evidence of any $11 million payment.”
Trump’s claims were quickly shredded across the media. But Beyoncé didn’t need a press release—she had a mic.
On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night, Colbert aired a cold open that lit up Trump’s lies. Set to the melody of Beyoncé’s breakup anthem Irreplaceable, the parody targeted Trump’s meltdown and dragged his connection to Jeffrey Epstein into the spotlight.
“This week he’s setting his sights on Beyoncé,” said CNN’s Audie Cornish in the clip. “The president falsely claimed Beyoncé was paid $11 million for endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Then came the parody, cutting deep:
🎶 “You and Jeff, you and Jeff. If all of your files are released, you’ll be effed…”
🎶 “You needed a distraction quick from all these damning Epstein pics.”
Trump’s voice is spliced in, screaming “Beyoncé!”—only for the parody Bey to fire back:
🎶 “Don’t come for me like that! I’ve got a big old bat! Don’t you ever for a second think we’ll forget—you’re a pedophile’s pal!”
Then, in the most surreal twist of the segment, a soundbite of Trump himself admits: “She’s right!”
The clip spread fast across social media, with many praising Colbert and the parody for calling out Trump’s baseless attacks while flipping the spotlight back onto the Epstein case—an issue Trump has repeatedly tried to dodge.
Beyoncé hasn’t made an official statement yet, but her message was loud and clear: she’s not backing down, and she’s not letting Trump rewrite the truth.
