Beyoncé enlisted Ronda Rousey‘s help during her Budweiser Made in America Festival performance last weekend to share an important message for the ladies.
Before Beyoncé belted out her song “Diva,” the powerhouse singer used a recorded speech made by Rousey that brought the house down.

“I have this one term for the kind of woman that my mother raised me to not be,” Rousey’s voice said as the words flashed on a giant screen. “And I call it ‘Do Nothing B****.’ Or I call it a DNB a lot of the time. The kind of chick that just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by somebody else. That’s why I think it’s hilarious when people say my body looks masculine or something like that.
“I’m just like, ‘Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f***ing millionaires doesn’t mean it’s masculine.’ I think it’s femininely badass as f****. Because there’s not a single muscle on my body that isn’t for a purpose. Because I’m not a Do Nothing B****.”

Rousey, who is the UFC women’s bantamweight champion, originally gave the above speech during the second episode of the UFC 190 Embedded web series. Rousey was about to head into her match against Bethe Correia.
But the words carry a meaning that resonates far outside the ring. And women everywhere have taken the words to heart. Clearly, Beyoncé is among them.

Rousey seemed to appreciate Beyoncé’s tribute so much that she sent out an Instagram listening to the song “Diva” with the caption, “#trafficjamin”
