If there is one artist that needs absolutely no introduction, it is Beyoncé, popularly known as Queen Bey. Regarded as a prominent cultural figure of the 21st century, the singer-songwriter is known as one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Beyoncé rose to fame in the late 1990s with her R&B girl group Destiny’s Child.
Following the hiatus of the group, the singer decided to pursue her solo career, and over the years, her music has explored the themes of feminism, womanism, and more. She is one of the best-selling artists worldwide, and Time magazine included her in the list of 100 women who have defined the 21st century so far. But Queen Bey did not have an easy childhood.
Tina Knowles opens up about the challenges of Beyoncé’s childhood
In a recent interview with Vogue, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, touched on the topic of raising her daughters to embrace their individualities no matter what. Talking about Queen Bey’s childhood, she said,
Beyoncé, she was very shy. She got bullied a bit. The day that she stood up for someone, she didn’t stand up for herself; she stood up for them. I’m getting emotional talking about it. I couldn’t have been more proud of her.
Knowles noted that her younger daughter Solange has always been an activist and added that her bandmate and best friend Kelly Rowland was the one who tried to protect everybody. Rowland lived with the Knowles family from a young age. She shared the clip of her interview on social media and wrote,
Each child is different! But all is so special. I believe kids are born with their personalities. My three girls handled things very differently. Learn their personalities and respect their individuality.
Tina Knowles added to her caption that one should never compare the negatives and should only pay attention to the positive things that they can brag about. She noted that this practice encourages positive behavior. The songwriter had also opened up about her childhood in her 2021 interview with Harper’s Bazaar and shared,
I am now grateful for those shy years of silence. Being shy taught me empathy and gave me the ability to connect with and relate to people. I’m no longer shy, but I’m not sure I would dream as big as I dream today if it were not for those awkward years in my head.
The fashion designer shared a great piece of advice that her daughter gave to her own daughter, Blue Ivy, who had received negative comments following her dance at the Renaissance Tour. Knowles noted that Queen Bey advised her daughter to work hard and get her skills together rather than focusing on the negative comments.
