Beyonce wears Prince T-shirt in honor of his birthday… 20 YEARS after their legendary duet of Purple Rain at the Grammy Awards

Beyonce posted a heartwarming Instagram montage Friday of herself wearing a t-shirt promoting her late duet partner Prince – on what would have been his 66th birthday.

Prince and Beyonce famously joined forces onstage at the 2004 Grammy Awards, performing a medley that included his iconic 1984 single Purple Rain.

Now, two decades later, Beyonce has let her fans in on her enduring nostalgia for Prince, who died of an accidental overdose in 2016 at the age of just 57.

She struck pose after pose in her Prince t-shirt, which she teamed with a set of fashionably baggy acid wash jeans and a pair of cat-eye shades.

Sweeping her platinum blonde hairdo back, she accentuated the look with a sumptuous coat made of what may have been faux fur.

Beyonce and Prince’s Grammy duet included her fan favorite number Crazy In Love, which saw him accompany her on the electric guitar.

Afterwards, Prince gave an interview in which he shared his appraisal of Beyonce’s musical abilities when they worked together.

‘I was really curious as to how much she knew musically, and I was really pleased to find out that she knew a lot about scales – Mixolydian scales and Egyptian styles and different things like that,’ he said.

‘And I was just trying to show her some chords on the piano and help her to respect the fact that if she learns piano à la Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles and things like that, the sky’s the limit as to what she could do, ’cause she’s so very talented.’

Her new Prince posts come one day after Beyonce returned to Instagram amid speculation that her weeks-long absence from the publicity circuit is somehow connected to Diddy.

The 32-time Grammy Award-winner, 42, offloaded a slew of glamour shots that show her rocking a beige cowboy hat and a busty suede frock.

Beyonce has seemingly ‘disappeared’ after releasing her new album Cowboy Carter this past March and she hasn’t attended a single red carpet event since the iHeart Radio Music Awards on April 1.

A wild conspiracy theory is suggesting that both Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z, 54, are ‘laying low’ amid their disgraced pal Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ 𝑠e𝑥ual abuse scandal, as per Page Six.

An insider further speculates that the couple are so ‘nervous’ about drawing attention to their Diddy ties that Beyonce is purposely neglecting Cowboy Carter promo.

DailyMail.com has reached out to reps for Beyonce and Jay-Z for comment.

Beyonce made a bold return to Instagram on Thursday night amid speculation that her weeks-long absence from the publicity circuit is somehow connected to Diddy

Combs, 54, is currently facing eight lawsuits relating to allegations of rape, physical abuse, 𝑠e𝑥 trafficking, racketeering and other serious crimes that span across 30 years.

The music mogul’s Los Angeles and Miami mansions were raided by Homeland Security agents in March as part of a 𝑠e𝑥-trafficking probe that may lead to a grand jury indictment.

In May, a horrifying video was released showing Combs violently assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016.

Cassie, who was in a relationship with Combs for 10 years, accused him of rape and physical abuse in a bombshell November 2023 lawsuit that was settled one day later for $30million.

Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter was released on March 29 — three days after the Diddy raids — and it spent two consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 album chart.

With songs featuring Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, Beyonce also made history as the first Black woman to top the country album charts.

‘This was supposed to be Beyoncé’s time, with her much-anticipated country album out [just] two months ago,’ Page Six’s source said.

‘And yet, she is nowhere to be seen. The album is slipping and Jay and B aren’t reveling in the spotlight.’

As the speculation around her public absence continues, Beyonce appeared unbothered in Thursday’s Instagram snaps

The insider then brought up Jay-Z’s controversial 2024 Grammys speech, where he called out the Recording Academy for never awarding his wife Album Of The Year despite her being the most decorated female artist.

‘About a month before the [March 29] release, Jay-Z got up at the Grammys and whined that Beyoncé had never won Album of the Year,’ they said.

‘But now what? Does he think she will win . . . for Cowboy Carter with no promotion . . . no appearances and no wooing of the academy?’

They noted that although Cowboy Carter had a successful release, the album is ‘definitely not the juggernaut everyone thought it would be.’

The insider believes that Beyonce has seemingly abandoned ship because ‘something is going on’ behind-the-scenes.

‘Something is going on. It came out with a bang. No. 1 everywhere. [Now] it and she have disappeared,’ the insider concluded.

Jay-Z’s friendship with Combs dates back to the early 1990s as they both navigated their early rap careers in New York.

They’ve collaborated on a number of songs, including a track on Combs’ debut 1997 studio album No Way Out.
