Some people took to social media accusing Beyoncé of ripping off fans.
One tweeted: “£120 for a hoodie - absolutely cannot! What do these artists actually think they are doing?! Okay, it's people's choice to spend that, but nah, that's just wrong on so many levels! Ripping fans off and the artists turn a blind eye.”
