September 4th is always a special day for me. It’s my big sister’s birthday (I love you Seyi), and also Beyonce’s birthday!
Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter is one of my favourite female artistes (alongside Tracy Chapman and Lauryn Hill), and I’ve been a fan since the early days of Destiny’s Child (Remember “No, No, No” with Wyclef?)
Here are a few things Nigerian girls, especially, the talented, ambitious ones can learn from the life of Queen Bey.
Talent Over Sexy: Being hot and sexy is cool, but eventually beauty will fade, boobs will sag and the booty will deflate. Talent, however, shines bright through the years. No one can ever dispute Bey’s skills – as a songwriter, dancer, vocalist and even as a business woman.
Hard Work Pays: From the dance routines, live shows, and volume of releases, you can get an idea of Beyonce’s work ethic and see how much work she puts in her craft.
Family first: We’ve seen many a celeb lose it after fame. Bey has managed to keep Jay, Blue, Solange, her Mom, Kelly and the rest of her family as priority.
Be Proud of Your Man: Back when Jay Z and Beyonce started dating over 10 years ago, many said he was too rough, hood and even UGLY for her. The tabloids went crazy, with everyone chipping in their opinion. Well, fast-forward to 2015, and the 2 are still together going strong.
Keep Smiling: There are a few not-so-cool photos of Beyonce on the Internet, yeah. But you’ll rarely ever catch her looking sad, lost or messy. The Queen is always ready to smile, wave and say something nice to her people. Little wonder the paparazzi love her!
