Beyonce Knowles is NOT running for Mayor of Los Angeles. A report began circulating over the weekend that the "Single Ladies" hitmaker was taking her first steps into politics by preparing to run for Mayor of L.A.
According to the MediaTakeOut, "Bey has ALREADY hired political consultants and is taking preliminary steps to run as early as 2018." The site insisted that "this is not a rumor, we CONFIRMED the report with people close to Beyonce."
An alleged tipster claimed, "[Los Angeles current mayor Eric] Garcetti is running for governor or senator in 2018. If he wins, there will be a special election for Los Angels' mayoralty. Beyonce is going to run then."
The site went on to claim that the "Formation" hitmaker "already established the residency requirements to begin running, and as you can imagine, she already has SUPERSTAR SUPPORT. If she runs, as expcted, it will be the most watched ELECTION CAMPAIGN ever for a mayoralty." It even speculated that Beyonce would run for president in 2020.
The report has been debunked by a representative for Beyonce, who tells Gossip Cop that story about the "Halo" hitmaker pursuing a political career is "ridiculous."
