But where did they get this “exclusive” they speak of? It looks like the first sip of tea came not from Queen Bey herself, but from Shady Music Facts‘s Twitter account. Apparently, SMF stays stalking Bey’s online activity ’cause they noticed that her iTunes page briefly went down and that 13 unlisted videos had been added to her Vevo. That’s some dedicated following, right there.
