Monica Lewinsky has a request.
After Beyoncé removed a word from her latest album due to people’s concerns, the 49-year-old singer suggested the singer take it a step further and remove her name from her hit ‘Partition’.
“hmm while we’re at it… #Partition,” she tweeted on Aug. 1, invoking the 2013 song from Beyoncé’s album, in which the singer recalls that a man “Monica Lewinsky wore my whole dress. “
The racy text is a reference to the high-profile affair between President Bill Clinton and the then 21-year-old Lewinsky that led to the president’s famous recantation and impeachment in 1998.
This isn’t the first time Lewinsky — who has “rap song muse” in her Twitter bio — has addressed the unwanted name drop. In an essay she wrote for Vanity Fair in 2014, she actually thanked Beyoncé for including her in the song, but offered one correction.
“Miley Cyrus mentions me in her twerking stage act, Eminem raps about me, and Beyoncé’s latest hit rocks me. Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we’re talking about words, I think you meant “Bill Clinton blew everything on my dress,” not “Monica Lewinsky.”
