Simone Biles' Nike Ad Features Beyoncé's Coolest Song
Simone Biles is grabbing allll the gold and spreading fierceness around at the 2016 Olympic Games, so when we heard that Nike produced an ad with the Olympian featuring Beyoncé music, we immediately expected some "Run the World (Girls)" vibes.
But no, Biles' new commercial gets sentimental, tugging on your heartstrings to let the inspiration flourish. The gymnast's mother provides the voice over for the nearly four-minute spot, and the Bey song is no "Formation" or another rousing feminist anthem: It's "Jealous," from 2013's self-titled album.
