Mindfuck: Beyoncé's mother is actually called…. Beyoncé

Sometimes you have those days when you come across completely useless information that still throws you off balance. Today: Beyoncé's mother drops in an interview that her name is actually Beyoncé. At least, her last name.

Huh?

‘Many people don’t know that my maiden name is Beyoncé,’ Tina now reveals in the podcast show My Head With Heather Thomson. ‘I was born Celestine Beyoncé, which at the time was absolutely not a ‘cool’ name. I would have preferred to be named Linda Smith, because that was a common and accepted name.’

What inspired her and her hubby to still give their grape the name Beyoncé is a mystery to me in this whole story, but anyway, I thought you should know. Silly, that Tina.
