Her friends, who call her “Ebob,” planned a social media campaign that quickly went viral with the hashtag #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE, in an effort to get the singer’s attention.
“Beyonce is one of her idols. She admires her so much, so we’re trying to put that on Twitter and Instagram to get Beyonce’s attention,” said Banks’ friend Karina Gutierrez in an interview with KTRK-TV.
Banks’ family shared a small snippet of the call on SnapChat where you can see Beyoncé’s face on-screen.
