Beyoncé has taken to social media where she broke her own rules and her mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, apologizes for not having enough faith in her daughter’s decision to create her latest project.
The diva shared a lengthy message on Sunday accompanied by a video all in the effort of promoting her new film, Black Is King.
Jay-Z‘s wife started the message by admitting that she decided to break her unwritten social media rules for a far greater cause than her and her art.
The Texan diva explained that she poured her heart, soul, energy, and time into the project. For more than a year, Beyoncé and her team worked tirelessly to make sure this masterpiece comes to life.
Beyoncé took the time to define the film and explained its goal in great detail.
Se also urged everyone to watch the visual album in order to better understand the history, beauty, and resilience of Black people.
She wrote: “Happy Sunday!
I typically keep comments short and sweet, but I just watched the trailer with my family and I’m excited. ?Please don’t get me hype?? “Black Is King” is a labor of love. It is my passion project that I have been filming, researching, and editing day and night for the past year. I’ve given it my all, and now it’s yours. It was initially filmed as a companion piece to “The Lion King: The Gift” soundtrack and meant to celebrate the breadth and beauty of Black ancestry. I could never have imagined that a year later, all the hard work that went into this production would serve a greater purpose.”
She continued: “The events of 2020 have made the film’s vision and message even more relevant, as people worldwide embark on a historical journey. We are all in search of safety and light. Many of us want change. I believe that when Black people tell our own stories, we can shift the world’s axis and tell our REAL history of generational wealth and richness of soul that are not told in our history books.”
The Destiny’s Child frontwoman added: “With this visual album, I wanted to present Black history and African tradition elements, with a modern twist and a universal message, and what it truly means to find your self-identity and build a legacy. I spent a lot of time exploring and absorbing the lessons of past generations and the rich history of different African customs. While working on this film, there were moments where I’ve felt overwhelmed, like many others on my creative team, but it was essential to create a movie that instills pride and knowledge.
I only hope that you leave feeling inspired to continue building a legacy that impacts the world in an immeasurable way from watching. I pray that everyone sees the beauty and resilience of our people.”
Tina penned an emotional message about the film and said she regrets not believing in Beyoncé as she should have.
