Some of the aesthetic elements of Ni’Jah’s video are akin to videos Beyoncé released for the Disney remake, while the horse Ni’Jah rides seems like a reference to the horse on the Renaissance album cover, which the BeyHive on Twitter has aptly nicknamed Reneigh. The visuals for Festival that Dre watches on TV are reminiscent of The Gift, the supplemental album Beyoncé released for the 2019 live-action version of The Lion King, as well as Renaissance.This is mainly a reference to Lemonade, whose songs respond to Jay-Z’s infidelity, though the surprise drop is more reminiscent of Beyoncé’s surprise self-titled album from 2013. Caché is married to Ni’Jah and appears to be this world’s version of Jay-Z. It is revealed that Ni’jah’s husband, Caché, cheated on her, and in response she releases a surprise album called Festival.This could be a reference to Beyoncé’s Ivy Park Rodeo collection from 2021. There’s a wide shot of Dre’s room, and viewers can see a magazine clipping of Ni’jah in a sexy cowboy outfit.Ni’Jah’s site has a photo of her with three words, “Music,” “Store,” and “Evolution.” Beyoncé’s website, meanwhile, has the words “Music,” “Tour” and “Shop.” Dre visits Ni’Jah’s website and much like Beyoncé’s it is sparse and minimalistic.In this episode, we learn the name of Ni’Jah’s fandom, the Swarm, a direct reference to the insects referenced by the BeyHive.In a 2003 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé said she is also loyal to a particular fast food chain: she has a lifetime supply card to Popeyes. When Dre goes on a run to the bodega, we can see her text messages with Marissa that show a photo of Ni’Jah posing with a box from a fast food chain called Frenchys.Dre proceeds to buy two tickets as a surprise for Marissa’s birthday and wants to keep it a secret. In the first scene, viewers watch Dre get a brand new credit card to buy tickets to Ni’Jah’s Evolution World Tour-a nod to Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour.The fictional singer also has over 44 million monthly listeners on Spotify, similar to Beyoncé’s current 51 million.

We combed through every episode of the new series, which is now streaming, to find every time Ni’Jah’s life or career mirrored Beyoncé’s, compiling a thorough guide to reference as you watch. The show stars Dominique Fishback, who delivers a bone-chilling performance as the unnerving Dre, as well as Beyoncé’s mentee Chloe Bailey (one half of sister duo Chloe x Halle) and Damson Idris, with guest appearances from Billie Eilish, Paris Jackson, and Internet personality Rickey Thompson. Throughout the seven episodes, as Dre attempts to prove herself as a worthy stan by going to great lengths to deal with critics of Ni’Jah, there are many standout references to Beyoncé-ranging from moments blatantly plucked from her life to small nods to things only true stans will understand. The show follows Dre, a young woman who bonds with her sister and roommate, Marissa, over their mutual love of a fictional pop superstar named Ni’Jah as members of the Swarm-a nod to Beyoncé’s BeyHive.
