Rap-Up.com || Trey Songz Hails Beyoncé: ‘She’s the Epitome of Hard Work’

Trey Songz has made sweet music with R&B’s leading ladies including Toni Braxton, Keri Hilson, and Ameriie, but when it comes to his favorite female singer, Beyoncé is at the top of his list.

“It will always be Beyoncé, whether it’s this moment or another moment,” he told VINZ.FM during a recent interview. “I think she’s the epitome of hard work and dedication and talent mixed together.”

Trey has been a longtime fan of the “Run the World (Girls)” singer. “I followed her since Destiny’s Child’s first single and I truly think she’s deserving of all that she has,” he continued. “She works extremely hard. She’s an amazing performer, vocalist, and even outside of that, she’s an amazing businesswoman. She’s the perfect model for what an artist can be. She’s branded herself in so many different ways. She’s in those [VIZIO] TV commercials, she’s L’Oreal, she’s done so many different things… Jay-Z. That’s why they call them the king and the queen.”

He previously expressed his desire to collaborate with Mrs. Carter. “I want that powerful duet,” he told “Extra.” “A big ballad kind of like the Usher, Alicia Keys ‘My Boo.’ Maybe one of those. I reached out to Beyoncé. Of course, I asked Jay-Z if that was OK to see what we can do.”

@RDK, Beyonce almost never collabrates about three in the six years year Kanye West, Justin Timberlake and Usher.
She picky as hell who she works with. But hey lets see where “run this world” goes we’ll proably see that song in the near future.

So what Beyonce’s the only person in the industry that works hard?? please… a lot of artists work hard but don’t always reap the benefits of their hard work.

@Love 90210,
well if they work hard it should reflect in their craft, not that they cannot reap the benefits. woell her hard work is sure paying off from the age of nine,unlike some that have everything handed to them in today’s industry where there are so many things to substitute talent.

@Love 90210, not as hard as Beyonce. she’s always working on a new album, then movies, then tours for over a year. 2010 was the year she took a break.

i tink it would be kool two hear a duet from these 2. they are two of my favs. However we know this aint gonna happen because Bey only works with artist that can help her (gaga, shakira, kanye). Shes an opportunist. A collabo with trey songz will only help trey songz, so you can forget it.

@meme, Please, Shakira can’t help Bey,Gaga was a risk and it didn’t hurt either of them but it didn’t help either. Kanye and Ego are like the same thing so nobody can question why she chose him. Bey is great all by herself.Watch a concert,she doesn’t need anything but a mic.

@bjday4, girl please, when beyonce rushed and put shakira on here beautiful liar track shakira was just coming off of her 10 week #1 domination with hips dont lie and beyonce just wanted to captialize on her latin style. She with Gaga, gaga was the #1 pop star in the world when beyonce ran and put her on videophone. Why couldnt she use ciara and kat deluna? Its obvious.

I’m so sick of these artist flopping down to get a taste of beYAWNcys coochie. That b*tch don’t work any harder than any other performer. What has she done that makes her an even harder worker than lets say “Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince, Britney Spears, Katy Perry” seriously, is this b*tch sleeping with these people to say these things or are they scared of Jay-Z, either way, it doesn’t make sense to me. beYAWNcy is nothing but an overrated, attention whore. I be so glad when this chics time is up.

‘She’s the Epitome of Hard Work’ …. ????
No Trey MICHAEL JACKSON is the Epitome of hard work! Im not saying she doesnt work hard cause I know she does. I love Beyonce but I think that comment was a little wack considering MJ was clearly the hardest working artist in history!
Four decades says it all…. Beyonce has a wee while to go….! Im sure if she keeps at it for the next 25 years she will be in his league…. For sure!
And also can people stop comparing Gaga to Beyonce…. Beyonce is over and above her level….!

Thanks , I’ve just been searching for information about this subject for ages and yours is the best I have came upon till now. However, what about the conclusion? Are you certain concerning the supply?|What i don’t understood is if truth be told how you’re not really a lot more well-appreciated than you might be now. You are so intelligent.
