Rush Limbaugh, a conservative radio host in the US said that the singer's new single was an expression of anti-feminism.
He says Beyoncé is encouraging women to be subservient to their spouses in "Bow Down."
The talk show host, 62, spent part of his show on Wednesday criticising the pop singer for pulling a "total 180" with her new single "Bow Down/I Been On."
"Bow Down," according to Limbaugh, advises women to "put up with it."
"She married the rich guy," Limbaugh continued. "She now understands it's worth it to bow down to men."
"She's going to call herself Mrs. Carter on the Bow Down B------s tour," Limbaugh added.
Beyoncé, who has gone on record as a feminist in the past, might not agree with Limbaugh's interpretation of her single.
"I love being a woman and I love being a friend to other women," the superstar said in an interview with The Daily Mail in 2010. "I think we learn a lot from our female friends — female friendship is very, very important."
Media Matters dismisses Limbaugh's interpretation as "the latest in a long history of anti-woman commentary."
But Limbaugh isn't the only one to take offence at the lyrics of Beyoncé's song. Singer Keyshia Cole slammed Beyonce on Twitter on Tuesday.
