'Prophetess' accuses Christians attending Beyoncé concert of being in a 'witch coven'

A pastor has branded Beyoncé a "witch" and accused her fans of belonging to a "coven," as she berated anyone that attends the singer's concert.

Tiphani Montgomery, a self proclaimed "prophetess" who founded the Covered By God ministry has caused a stir after posting a video about the Cuff It singer.

"Any of you who are going to Beyoncé's concert I rebuke you in the name of Jesus, how dare you call yourself a Christian," she said.

"I don't care what pastor you got who's OK with it, I don't care what pastor you got that think it's cool, I don't care what pastor you got that sing along to the songs because they want some clout."

"When a witch has a coven it's normally a small thing. Witch's covens are normally three to seven people," the pastor added.

"When it becomes thousands it's called a hive. Y'all a part of that lady Beyhive? And you call yourself a Christian? May the dealings of the Lord come upon you."

Since sharing this video, social media sleuths managed to find old tweets from Montgomery where they pointed out her hypocrisy as the pastor previously expressed she was a fan of Beyoncé's music.

"Am I the only one addicted to Beyoncé 's song: Why don't u love me??? #nowplaying It again smh," she tweeted back in 2010.

"Got a chance to catch the Jay Z and Beyoncé concert and it was AMAZING!!!" Tiphani wrote in a tweet from 2014.

The pastor has responded to her resurfaced tweets on February 13.

"I publicly came against and denounced their god baalyonce (sic) so they found these tweets from 2010, 2011, 2014," she wrote.

"But I had just did a YouTube the night before saying I was the BIGGEST jay z and baalyonce (sic) fan… until I got saved in my shower in August 2015."

"What's my point? My point is anytime you're a mouth piece for God they will try to discredit you. But I'm more afraid of The Living God than I am dead skeletons!"

Destiny's Child member and Beyoncé 's friend, Michelle Williams posted an Instagram reel to respond to comments made by Montgomery.

"It also looks like I am entering the chat," she said in the post on Super Bowl Sunday.

"I am just watching a lot going on, things that are being said, specifically about entertainers, specifically about entertainers that I even have relationships with, entertainers that I know off the stage."

"I just wish we would pray as publicly for entertainers as we rebuke them and damn their soul to hell."

She added: "I know it ain't my calling mission to damn entertainers to hell and to say that they would drop dead. The devil is a lie."

Meanwhile, Beyoncé has the subject of conspiracy theories - most recently about her exclusive concert at Atlantis The Royal hotel in Dubai, where unfounded claims were made that it had illuminati undertones.
