For Beyonce’s debut as new Pepsi spokesperson, she pushed around a cart full of the beverage. For the newest promo artwork, she channels Marilyn Monroe and Campbell’s Soup. If you understand those references, then you clearly know your pop culture, or should I say pop art- an art movement popularized by Andy Warhol in the 1960s.
Beyonce is the latest to incorporate Warhol’s imagery for advertising. The 31-year-old singer is seen wearing bright pink lips, blue eye shadow and neon yellow hair in the ad. She wrote the following on her Facebook, “Pop Art inspires me to Live for NOW.”
I wonder if this new ad will re-ignite the controversy surrounding Beyonce’s $50 million deal. A few thought it was hypocritical for her to sign with Pepsi, given she’s worked closely with Michelle Obama with her health platform. As we all know, soda is a huge factor in the growing problem of childhood obesity. Where do you stand on the situation? Ponder that thought, while you check out Beyonce’s new ad below.
What do you think of Beyonce’s pop art-inspired Pepsi ad? Is it fierce or boring? Do you agree that Bey is being a hypocrite for promoting Pepsi while being an advocate for Michelle Obama’s childhood obesity initiative? Sound off below.

there is nothing wrong with her promoting pepsi the brand and promoting a healthy lifestyle. everything in the world no matter how healthy can become healthy if not taken in moderation. so im sick of hearing people talk about is she being a hypocrite for making a smart business decision. i choose to drink soda and if something happens its on me nobody is shoving it down my throat forcing me to drink it. im making the choice to drink soda something that is “unhealthy”. if people are going to tell me well she is a role model then those people are idiots that deserve to get sick for being to stupid to make their own informed decisions. that might be harsh but its annoying having to hear about all this over and over when people are not saying all the facts, people die from drinking too much water but we tell people too drink water still. why isnt anyone calling jennifer anniston a hypocrite. i mean i ranted and raved sorry but its just annoys me when people bring up health issues when i wanted to see artwork for a advertising campaign.
