Next, Beyoncé’s non-profit organization, BEYGood, posted a tweet in celebration of Black Music Month. However, what caught fans’ eyes was an album cover that no one has ever seen before. To add fuel to the fire, the album cover, which looked like Beyonce’s hand, was pointing to Brandy’s 2018 album, b7.
