Beyoncé Knowles has sparked controversy by saying she only makes records for black people.
Since the 'Déjà Vu' singer made the astonishing statement sales of her new album, 'B'Day', have fallen by 70 per cent in the US.

Beyoncé, 25, said in an interview with Blender magazine: "I make black records. I write records like I speak, and I don't try to change my songs so everyone else likes them."
The singer has also admitted she can relate to celebrities who attack the paparazzi.
Beyoncé said: "It must be really scary to have your children in front of all these people. That's your kids. That's when Mama Knowles is gonna be punching some photographers!"
Meanwhile, Beyoncé's name was booed at the MOBO awards in London on Wednesday night (20.09.06) when she failed to turn up to collect her three prizes.
The 'Crazy In Love' singer received the most awards after her single 'Déjà Vu' won the Best Song and Best Video categories and she was named Best International Female at the ceremony - which recognises music of black origin.
Beyoncé's camp are said to have blamed the bad reception on organisers who allegedly hinted at her possible appearance.
A record label source told Sun UK : "Beyoncé was never going to the show. She never even considered it. But they kept intimating that she might come - which is tantamount to lying as far as we're concerned.
"Understandably, fans who'd gone to the show hoping to see her were left disappointed and then booed her. "

And on top of all of that, Beyonce's representative made her look even worse by stating that Beyonce never even considered going. If you're nominated for an award, why would you not even consider going? I can understand if you can't make it, but to not even consider it, when people have taken the time to listen to your music and nominate you? That's just rude. I don't know Beyonce, so I don't know what she's really like, but she sounds like a bitch to me.

She didn't say that she did not want white people to lsiten to her music. She stated that she makes records the way she talks. She talks like a black chick. I think that probably had something to do with people getting shcoked that she said the word "nigga" on her CD.
