‘Jeopardy!’ contestant makes epic blunder — guesses Beyoncé in ‘greatest rappers’ category

You must not know ’bout me.

A “Jeopardy!” contestant incorrectly deemed Beyoncé one of the best rappers during Tuesday’s episode of the beloved quiz show.

While the “Single Ladies” singer has experimented with different genres, she was not the answer to a clue in the show’s “50 greatest rappers of all time” list, which went off Billboard and Vibe‘s 2023 list.

The clue read, “She invited us to ‘Come Into My House’ and also deal with the ‘Wrath of Madness’; we bow down before this queen.”

While Beyoncé, 42, did release a song titled “My House” in December and is known amongst her fans as Queen Bey, she is not included on the greatest rappers list.

So when one contestant buzzed in “Who is Beyoncé?,” “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings deemed the answer incorrect.

A second contestant correctly answered, “Who is Queen Latifah?”

“Yes, different queen,” Jennings joked afterward.

The mishap comes as Beyoncé fans are criticizing country radio stations for not playing her newly-released country songs “Texas Hold ‘EM” and “16 Carriages.”

The “Jeopardy!” contestant wrongfully named Beyoncé as one of the GOAT rappers.

One fan went viral on X after sharing Oklahoma radio station KYKC’s response to her request to play “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

“We do not play Beyoncé on KYKC as we are a country music station,” the reply read.

Other fans then hit KYKC with their own emails, accusing the station of “blatant racism and discrimination.”

But the station’s general manager defended turning down the request in a statement, claiming that KYKC is a small market and follows the airplay of bigger country stations.

“If somebody calls and requests the Rolling Stones on that station, we’re going to say the same thing,” he said, explaining that the viral email is a “standard response” to fans asking to play non-country artists.

However, the station changed its tune on Tuesday, showing users on X that ‘Texas Hold ‘Em” was in the station’s queue.

“Lots of calls coming in for Beyoncé’s ‘Texas Hold ‘Em.’ It’s coming up in minutes,” the station tweeted.
