This is so interesting that you really do know the family and have met Beyoncé! There’s also a man on here who went to college with Matthew Knowles! I think Beyoncé’s career was orchestrated by her father, launched with the aid of the other members of DC, then now even being married to Jay-Z helps. Doesn’t take away from her talent, or hard work, even though I’m not sure why people always want to compare her to Rihanna. I agree with this article although I don’t blame Beyoncé for keeping herself, her life, or her personality private. She doesn’t owe anyone authenticity and it’s not her fault certain things worked in her favor.
