The video for Beyonce and Nicki Minaj’s “Feelin’ Myself” is angering quite a few people – and not just because Jay Z’s Tidal is charging everyone to see it.
The video features the women partying it up in The Coachella Valley during Coachella weekend and, in one scene, shows Beyonce pouring champagne into a hot tub. And that is not just any champagne, it is Armand de Brignac, also known as Ace of Spades, which can reportedly cost between “$300 to hundreds of thousands of dollars”.
And this “1 percent” moment has made plenty of people angry:

It should be noted that Jay Z owns the liquor company that produces Ace of Spades – so Beyonce probably got some sort of family discount on the bubbly. Beyonce has not commented on the matter.
Hopefully, The Desert Sun gets to the bottom of this by sending out not one, but two reporters to find the champagne bottle and hot tub.
