Beyoncé to re-record offensive Renaissance lyric

[Beyoncé is to re-record one of the songs
on her new album, after facing criticism
from disability campaigners.
The song Heated, which was released on Friday,
contained a derogatory term that
has often been used to demean people
with spastic cerebral palsy.

The star's publicist told the BBC the word,
which can have different connotations in the US,
was "not used intentionally in a harmful way".

It "will be replaced in the lyrics", they added,
without giving a timescale.

The backlash came just a couple of weeks
after US pop star Lizzo apologised for
using the same word in her song GRRRLS.]
