Pop-star icon Beyoncé reportedly outraged professional photographers at the live-streamed memorial event for Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Monday night by issuing what Page Six describes as a full ban on all photographs of the “diva” during her performance at the tribute, a ban that was dutifully enforced by event organizers and Staples Center staffers.

On Jan. 26, Bryant, 41, his daughter Gianna, 13, and seven others were tragically killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, just a few miles northwest of Los Angeles, while traveling to the NBA stars’ Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks for a basketball tournament. On Monday, a massive tribute to Bryant was held at the place where he had risen to international fame.
