American singer, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter professionally known as Beyoncé has opened up on her need for privacy in raising her three children and her personal life in a whole.
During a recent interview with GQ Magazine for their October cover story, the “Single Ladies” singer revealed her struggle to maintain balance between normality and privacy.
“We live in a world of access,” Beyoncé stated.
She went further to reveal that the technology of now a days have evolved compared to how it was during when she was in a relationship with her husband.
“We have access to so much information—some facts and some complete bullshit disguised as truth. Our children can FaceTime and see their friends at any given moment. My husband and I? We used calling cards and Skype when we were falling in love. I couldn’t afford the international hotel bills, so I literally would get international calling cards to call him,” she continued.
“Just recently, I heard an AI song that sounded so much like me it scared me. It’s impossible to truly know what’s real and what’s not,” she added.
Beyonce emphasised the importance of privacy and her commitment to keeping her personal life separate from her public persona.
She explained, “One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand. It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art. I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family.
“No amount of money is worth my peace,” she stated definitively.
