Beyonce's hit (yet controversial) new song "Bow Down/I Been On" has caught the attention of conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh - and he's definitely not a fan. According to the popular political commentator, Beyonce's latest tune "influences women to be submissive" to men... especially rich men. Limbaugh claims this was never the inspiration behind Destiny's Child... B has done a "complete 180" since marrying Jay-Z and giving birth to Blue Ivy. Do fans agree?

First, check out Beyonce's new single, "Bow Down/I Been On" -

Now, check out Limbaugh's response:

According to the infamous radio DJ, "[Destiny's Child] songs were attempts to inspire young women not to take any grief from men. She's done a 180... Beyoncé, now having been married, having been impregnated and giving birth to Blue Ivy…she's got a new song, 'Bow, Down Bit##es'… Beyoncé is now saying, 'Go ahead and put up with it!' You know why? I'll tell you why. Because she married a rich guy. She's even calling herself Mrs. Carter on the tour…She has shelved Beyoncé…She now understands it's worth it to bow down."

Limbaugh continues on, making several claims against Beyonce's "girl power" rallying ability.

But as E! News pointed out:

A more likely interpretation of "Bow Down"' is it's a tough message aimed at any upstart singers hoping to challenge her place on the pop-music throne. 

Lyrics include: "I know when you were little girls/You dreamt of being in my world/Don't forget it, don't forget it/Respect that. Bow Down Bit##es."

So what do Mstars readers think on the matter?
