Beyonce Will ‘Bare It All' in Upcoming Memoir, Says ‘Source'

Years after guarding her personal life, Beyonce is reportedly preparing to release a memoir. According to the latest reports, the pop superstar will share her unfiltered story on the account, which she has been writing for over a decade. This move was supposedly inspired by Beyonce's mother, who recently published her bestselling memoir, 'Matriarch: A Memoir.' The Daily Mail exclusively published news of Beyonce's memoir, incorporating what the insiders knew. As per an insider, the 'Halo' singer is quietly writing the book. Moreover, Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mother, inspired the idea of a memoir after the success of her own, titled 'Matriarch: A Memoir.' Beyonce, who has been secretive about her personal life, will apparently disclose it for the world to read. This significant shift is courtesy of Knowles, whose book was the number one New York Times bestseller in May. She has encouraged the singer to be 'honest and raw about everything.' What tabloids believe will be a blockbuster release, the memoir will be a collection of Beyonce's years of documentation. An insider revealed to the Daily Mail, 'Beyonce has been private about her personal life, but she documents everything so has technically been writing one for over a decade now.' Previously, an unauthorized biography by J. Randy Taraborrelli, 'Becoming Beyoncé: The Untold Story,' was published a decade ago. It tracked the Grammy winner's roots in Houston, Texas, to her global fame with 'Destiny's Child' and beyond. However, according to the insider, the singer 'did not feel the book portrayed her accurately.' As per the Daily Mail, the 'Cowboy Carter' tour could not replicate the numbers of the 'Renaissance World Tour.' Hence, teasing the upcoming account could be a strategic move to offer fans a deeper connection to the global star. While Beyonce eases up the boundaries around her personal life, the memoir will be a new chapter in the pop star's career.

'The school is our second house, for the kids, because they come to learn, they come to enjoy, and they come to play as well, so they must be in a good, clean place.'

After Beyoncé's Mom Was Criticized For The Way She Treated Her 7-Year-Old Granddaughter, Rumi, On Stage, She's Explained What Was Actually Going On

Earlier this month, a video emerged from Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour, where she was joined on stage by her mom, Tina Knowles, and daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi. In the footage, Bey publicly congratulates Tina on her new book, Matriarch: A Memoir. She tells the crowd: "Today is a big day because my mother, who worked so hard on her book, she has the number one book on the New York Times bestseller list. Everybody, please say: 'Congratulations, Mama T!'' However, fans were more distracted by 7-year-old Rumi, who is clearly incredibly overexcited to be there. The little girl is clapping her hands and jumping up and down throughout the video, and at one point in the clip, she goes over to her mom and seemingly tries to reach for the microphone. Tina can be seen pulling Rumi back, and looks as though she sternly says something to her.

Afterward, when it's time for Tina and the girls to leave the stage, Tina can be seen guiding Rumi to the side and hugging Blue before taking her hand and walking both girls off. The video divided people at the time, with some arguing that Tina was too hard on her young granddaughter. One person commented: 'I really don't like how mama T is treating her grandchild😞' 'I don't like the grandmother's reaction to Rumiì🥺,' somebody else echoed, while another popular comment read: '🤣 Tina ain't no sweet grandma she strict 🤣 she like girl stay put 🤣' Others compared Tina's reaction to Blue's, with one person writing: 'Blue has more patience with Rumi than her grandmother has.' Another said: 'I'm so disappointed with Tina's lack of patience and empathy towards Rumi, s/o to Blue Ivy for having a patience, understanding and soft towards her younger sister.'

'It was real, I mean, it's real life,' she went on, before quipping: 'Grandmas don't play.' Tina then recalled what exactly was going through her mind during the incident, explaining: 'It was just that she was reaching for the mic because she wanted to say something, and I realized that, and she was pulling, and I was like, 'Oh God, that's all that needs to happen, is the mic hits her in the face.'' Anticipating what the tabloid response to that would be, Tina joked that the headlines would say 'Beyoncé hit her in the face.' Despite the online response, Tina said that it was 'so special' to join her daughter and granddaughters on stage, saying: "It was from a different perspective — I'm usually behind the stage — but it was actually fun. It was exciting." She also revealed Rumi's reaction to being on stage with thousands of people cheering her on, telling Gayle that the little girl had said it 'feels powerful.'

Beyoncé's mother is bringing her book tour to Atlanta, Tyler Perry set to moderate event

The mother of music superstar Beyoncé, Tina Knowles, is bringing her book tour to Atlanta. Knowles just released 'Matriarch: A Memoir,' which talks about her life journey 'through grief and tragedy, creative and romantic risks and turmoil, the nurturing of superstar offspring and of her own special gift.' 'This is a page-turning chronicle of family love and heartbreak, of loss and perseverance, and of the kind of creativity, audacity, and will it takes for a girl from Galveston to change the world. It's one brilliant woman's intimate and revealing story, and a multigenerational family saga that carries within it the story of America—and the wisdom that women pass on to each other, mothers to daughters, across generations,' the book's website said. Knowles is bringing her book tour to Atlanta on May 8 at the Tabernacle. Tyler Perry is expected to moderate the event. The stop is part of her tour that takes her across the country, and to Toronto and London. To read more about the book and for ticket information, CLICK HERE.
