It seems that controversy with regard to Beyonce’s new release ‘XO’ is not going to end every soon. In recent update, it has been found that an online petition has been filed by protestors that Beyonce should forward 25% of revenue earned from the album to the Challenger Learning Centre.
Main aim of the centre is to learn more about space and science education. The controversy got starts last month when Beyoncé came up with her new album. The album included the snippet of Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
The tune shows an audio commentary in which NASA public affairs officer Steve Nesbitt termed the situation a major malfunction and after few seconds everything exploded. The inclusion of the clip has hurt the sentiments of friends and family associated with NASA.
On this, Beyoncé clarified her stand by affirming that she by no means wanted to hurt the sentiments of people. She further affirmed that the ‘XO’ was recorded with an aim to help people who have lost their loved ones in the tragedy.
Unexpected things take place; therefore, it is important to love and value every minute that you have to spend with your loved ones. “The songwriters included the audio in tribute to the unselfish work of the Challenger crew with hope that they will never be forgotten”, said Beyonce.
