Beyoncé surprise dropped a remix of her “Renaissance” hit “America Has a Problem” featuring Kendrick Lamar on Friday night.
The new version of the song launches right into a tight verse from Lamar, in which he raps about everything from AI (“Even AI gotta practice copyin’ Kendrick”) to the Beyhive (“I’m an honorary Beyhive, let’s see why them diamonds”). Beyoncé then picks up for the rest of the song, which clocks in at four minutes and 20 seconds. The remix’s cover art features an American flag made up of what appears to be red, white and blue bullets.
“America Has a Problem” has been surging in popularity recently, thanks in part to the choreography that Beyoncé debuted when her “Renaissance” world tour kicked off in Stockholm on May 10, which has inspired a TikTok trend. Beyoncé’s tour is set to continue through September, hitting both Europe and North America.
Beyoncé and Lamar have previously collaborated on “Freedom” from 2016’s “Lemonade” and “Nile” from “The Lion King: The Gift.”
