This revelation came after she teased her gaming channel in a Super Bowl advert, catching fans off guard. Streaming has seen tremendous growth in recent years, propelling individuals like Kai Cenat and Adin Ross to both fortune and fame.

During Super Bowl LVIII coverage, a Verizon commercial showcased Beyoncé engaging in video games and live streaming through a Twitch account with the username 'iamSlayonce.' Though the account currently lacks any previous content, it quickly amassed an impressive following of 52.2k eager fans. Speculation and excitement abound, with viewers commenting on the potential for the artist's live appearances and the potential for the hive's overwhelming support.

The advert not only introduced Beyoncé as a Twitch streamer but also hinted at the release of her new music. At the conclusion of the commercial, she tantalizingly declared, 'Okay, they're ready. Drop the new music,' leaving fans eagerly anticipating her latest musical offering. She unveiled a trailer for her upcoming album, 'Renaissance Act II,' revealing its anticipated release date of March 29. Prior to the album's debut, two singles were released: 'Texas Hold 'Em' and '16 Carriages.'
