The lyrics of Beyoncé/Kanye West's song Diva assert female empowerment through an unapologetic and bold attitude towards success and wealth. The chorus repeatedly affirms Beyoncé’s diva status, while the verses challenge those who doubt her status as a successful female hustler. Beyoncé defies societal expectations of female behavior by declaring that she has amassed a fortune and won't tolerate anyone belittling her. Even when comparing herself to men, she states that she is a female version of a hustler, emphasizing that women can be just as successful and powerful.
The lyrics also contain a call-out to other women who may not act as fiercely as she does, demanding that they live up to her standards of assertiveness and independence. In the bridge, she encourages her fellow divas to be unafraid to demand what they are owed and to be just as successful as her.
Overall, the song serves as an anthem for women who are ready to take on the world and demand respect, success, and independence.
