The 28-year-old’s comments come after a Beyonce fan was slammed for playing the location-based augmented reality game during one of Queen Bey’s recent gigs.



“This b**** is finding Pokémon…when Beyoncé’s singing!” a concertgoer is heard saying in footage shared to social media. “F***ng Pokémon. Look at where she is...she’s next to the stage.”
