In true Avengers fashion, the BeyHive (Beyoncs fanbase) assembled to hold an Oklahoma country radio station accountable for initially refusing to play the singers new country hits.
Earlier this week, the superstar put the internet in a chokehold after debuting two country songs , Texas Hold Em and 16 Carriages, on Sunday as she announced her transition into the genre via her forthcoming album.
But the buzz over the announcement took a turn after one of her fans went viral on social media for claiming that KYKC 100.1 FM rejected their request for them to play one of Beyoncs new tracks.
Sharing a screenshot of the email exchange with the radio station on X (formerly Twitter), the fan wrote, I requested Texas Hold Em at my local country radio station (KYKC) and after requesting, I received an email from the radio station stating, We do not play Beyonc on KYKC as we are a country music station.
This station needs to be held accountable for their blatant racism and discrimination against Beyonc, they added in a separate post.

The fan tagged Queen Beys popular fan account, @BeyLegion, which has more than 460k followers, in the posts, drawing attention to the alleged snub.
#BeyHive! Lets kindly educate Oklahoma country radio station 1001 KYKC that Beyoncs upcoming project and already released singles are indeed country music! Remember to be kind and diplomatic. , the fan account posted.
In the comments section, many fans replied that they called and emailed the station over the discrepancy.

Just a few hours later, KYKC took to X to share an image of their show schedule, which listed Texas Hold Em on the lineup in the 2:29 p.m. time slot.
Lots of calls coming in for Beyoncs Texas Hold Em, the station captioned the post on Tuesday. Its coming up in minutes.
