Beyoncé Pours Out Pricey Bottle of Champagne Into a Hot Tub and Twitter Reactns

'Beyoncé was really feeling herself, and riled up Twitter in the process.

Queen Bey and Nicki Minaj dropped their "Feeling Myself" music video on Monday — on Tidal, of course — and one particular scene definitely got a reaction (possibly an overraction) out of viewers. Jay Z's better half can be seen pouring out a shiny bottle of Armand de Brignac — aka Ace of Spades — into a hot tub, which rubbed quite a few folks the wrong way.

Why? Because it's a big old waste of money. The bottle of bubbly ranges in price, sometimes upwards into the hundreds of thousands of dollars range, although it's unclear just how much this particular one costs.

Beyoncé pour $20K Champagne into a tub like it's nothing. She should give me a bottle so I can return it and pay for my tuition.
