Multiple award-winning American singer,
Beyonce Knowles has explained why she
featured Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Adichie
in her new album.
Explaining why she featured the Half of a Yellow
Sun author in one of her songs entitled:
Flawless, Beyonce in a chat with UK Mirror said,
“I was going through videos on feminity on
Youtube, when I came across this video of this
incredible Nigerian author, Chimamanda
Adichie.
“Everything she said is exactly how I feel. My
message in this album was finding the beauty
in imperfection,” Bey continues.
“I had this image of this trophy and me
accepting these awards and kind of training
myself to be a champion and at the end of the
day when you go through all of these things, is
it worth it? I mean, you get this trophy and
you’re like, ‘I basically starved, I have neglected
all the people that I love, I’ve conformed to
what everybody else thinks I should be and I
have this trophy. What does that mean?
“The trophy represents all of
the sacrifices I made as a kid,
all the time I lost being on the
road in the studios as a child
and I just want to throw that
s**t up!”
The star also spoke about her
daughter, Blue Ivy and hubby
Jay Z, and what she’s up to
lately.
Hear her, “I have a lot of
awards and I have a lot of
these things that are amazing
and I worked my ass off, I
worked harder than probably
everybody I know to get those
things, but nothing feels like
my child singing ‘mummy’.”
The megastar mum-of-one
then goes on to say she’s
striving for for love, happiness
and fun.
“No, nothing feels like when I
look my husband in the eyes,
nothing feels like when I’m
respected, when I get on the
stage and I see I’m changing
peoples lives. Those are the
things that matter and at this
point in my life that’s what I’m
striving for – growth, love, happiness, fun.”
She also gave one final piece of advice to her
fans, “Enjoy your life – its short. That’s the
message!” she added.
