Beyonce and Dixie Chicks' fans are fielding accusations of sabotage about their favorite performers' seamless performance at the Country Music Association.  This was an impression left as the award giving body has been flooded by raging online fans and the no-mention was allegedly because to appease the "racists".

So how could CMA mum over the collaboration performance when it should have been the highlight of the Golden Awards Night?   The show stoppers were muted in the social media until Wednesday afternoon.  The rumors of racial discrimination loosened as it was compared to 2015's Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton mash-up, reaching out to a pop audience.  Angered fans reacted it was really hard to fathom not finding any mention of the powerful production of the ladies collaboration online.

The CMA halted the chatter and false assumptions on the online controversy.  The award giving body denies reports that the organization deleted all mentions of Beyoncé and the Dixie Chicks' performance of "Daddy Lessons" from their social accounts and website.  According to CMA, they removed a five-second promotional clip from ABC.com and CMA's Facebook page, because it was not approved.  However, CMA attached a link to Beyonce' and the trio's performance on ABC.com.

On November 3, Elle reports that Beyonce' fans were complaining of waiting for over two hours just to watch the much awaited performance of "Daddy Lessons" along with the Dixie Chicks.

Images of captured screen from CMA Country Music Association site has also been featured, showing no signs of Beyonce, no shared pics, not even videos on Facebook.  Elle also reports that even Beyonce's name on tweets were never seen.

Mentions of Beyonce and the Dixie Chicks flooded the web, only Wednesday afternoon.

Reports says, Dixie Chicks' not so good statement against Republican Politics and Beyonce's involvement the Black Lives Matter movement insights recoil in the social media.

Despite glitches, Beyonce is quiet on the issue, but the ladies group left a message on Twitter saying, "If we all turn this up really loud, together we can drown out the hate,".
