• Beyoncé headlined the grand opening of Dubai’s newest luxury hotel, Atlantis The Royal, and was reportedly paid $24 million for the occasion.

• Beyoncé’s latest album is an homage to black queer culture, but she performed none of its songs at the opening, likely due to the country’s stance on homosexuality.
• Other celebrities, such as Rebel Wilson and members of the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty, were also present at the opening.
• Sports figures, such as FIFA president Gianni Infantino and football stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, have also been involved in promoting the country.
• These celebrities are being used to normalize tyranny and distract from the suffering of migrant workers in the country.
