Beyonce has stirred up controversy yet again, after posting a photo on Instagram in which she seems to be calling herself Jesus. Wearing a pink corset top and lime-green skirt, the 31-year-old diva posed in front of a replica of the famed painting of "The Last Supper," a late 15th century mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
The painting depicts the scene of the last supper Jesus had with his 12 apostles, as it is written in the Gospel of John, an anonymous account of the public ministry of Jesus. It portrays the reaction given by each apostle when Jesus said one of them would betray him.
Beyonce, in the photo she posted, placed herself in the center of the table, blocking Jesus out.
The 32-year-old did not add a caption to the snap leaving fans to conjecture on the meaning, which thousands did on Twitter and Instagram.
Many fans reacted with anger and outrage. 'You are so disrespectful !!! I Will Be Praying For U !!!! U ARE NOT JESUS !!!!!' one Instragram user wrote.
Another declared: 'Sorry beyonce u lost one fan.'
Another observer tweeted: '__edenk87__ She's over being Queen Bey! I think she goin for Beysus!!! #notcool! I ain't feeling this shot... @ezwihapi.'
Other users just seemed to enjoy the image without worrying about any possible connotations.
