Beyoncé and Laverne Cox are collaborating and I’m prepared to give them every cent I have

People are going ballistic

“It’s true. I am collaborating with Beyoncé on a new project. #QueenBey herself.”

Yes it's true. I am collaborating with @beyonce on a new project. #QueenBey herself. More details Sept. 6. #Beyonce #TransIsBeautiful pic.twitter.com/oNtUu87tVA

Fans have already begun speculating
