Beyoncé is criticised for using an offensive lyric

Beyoncé is facing criticism for using an ableist slur in some lyrics on her new album, Renaissance. The derogatory term, often used to demean people with spastic cerebral palsy, occurs twice in the song Heated, co-written by Canadian star Drake. It comes just a couple of weeks after US pop star Lizzo apologised for using the same word in her song GRRRLS. Beyoncé has long been a champion of inclusivity and equality, Is it fair to criticize her ?
