Called “Imperfection,” the video follows the first segment that was released when the singer announced her surprise album last week.

The superstar opens up about career disappointment, sacrifice, and feminism , intercut with songs and footage from her new release.

Part three of the “mini art feature,” which promises to delve further into Beyoncé’s “mind-set and artistic vision,” will be released at a later date.

Beyoncé’s “visual album” features 14 songs and 17 music videos, including “XO” and “Drunk in Love.”

CLAIM: Rihanna “Furious” Over Beyonce’s Surprise Album Release

“MTO WORLD EXCLUSIVE DRAMA: Rihanna And Beyonce Are FIGHTING . . . . We Got ALL THE EXCLUSIVE DETAILS INSIDE!!!” blares a MediaTakeOut headline.

Oh, do tell.

The webloid writes, “Today was supposed to be ALL ABOUT RIHANNA. Rihanna and Eminem currently have the number ONE single on the Billboard charts – MONSTER. And Rih is set to release the VIDEO today.”

“But all everyone is talking about is BEYONCE’S ALBUM, and the 17 videos she released on Friday,” says MediaTakeOut, and now “Rih is FURIOUS with Beyonce.”

Citing a (cough) “TOP SOURCE,” the outlet claims, “Rihanna feels that Beyonce PURPOSELY released her album on Friday to UPSTAGE Rihanna.”

“Rihanna and Beyonce have always had a very cordial [relationship], but they are definitely competitors,” says MTO’s “insider,” who adds, “[I think] Beyonce definitely pulled a power play and let Rihanna know who the Queen is.”

So this “top source” simply “thinks” Beyonce purposefully dropped her album on Friday just to mess with Rihanna’s video release days later?

That’s some rock-solid reporting right there.

Anyway, MediaFakeOut further alleges, “We’re told that Rihanna contacted HER MANAGEMENT” over the timing, “and CUSSED FOLK OUT.”

Those are “exclusive details” all right — absolutely wrong ones, though.

First off, the “Monster” video is really Eminem’s, not Rihanna’s, as she is featured on his track.

Secondly, Gossip Cop investigated and no one could confirm MediaTakeOut’s claims of a sudden feud between the two singers.

In fact, a source close to Beyonce further laughed off the allegations, saying speculation that her album release had anything to do with Rihanna is ridiculous.

Of course, MediaTakeOut is the same outlet that claimed Beyoncé was faking her pregnancy, and said Rihanna was going to tour with Chris Brown.

Beyoncé SHATTERS iTunes Sales Records

Truth rating: 10

Beyoncé has destroyed several iTunes sales records in the wake of releasing her surprise album on Friday.

The album, which is currently only available through the online music provider, has sold a whopping 617,213 copies in America, breaking the platform’s first-week U.S. sales record.

That’s significantly more than the 465,000 units sold of the previous title-holder, Taylor Swift’s 2012 album Red.

Both figures, however, pale in comparison to Beyoncé’s global iTunes debut — a record-breaking 828,773 copies have been purchased in just three days.

That makes it iTunes  fastest-selling album ever.

And the album now ranks number one in 104 countries, says Apple.

Not surprisingly, the album is also expected to debut in the top spot on the Billboard 200, becoming Beyoncé’s fifth number one album.
