According to Social Blade, a website that tracks social media analytics, Beyoncé’s follower count has been declining gradually since March 2024, not overnight as the rumors suggest.

Although Beyoncé’s follower count has been gradually declining since early 2024, there is no evidence to support the claim that this is related to her connection to Diddy, who is currently jailed without bail on sex trafficking charges.
