There has been much speculation surrounding Beyonce’s latest album, “Lemonade” and her marriage to rapper husband, Sean ‘Jay Z’ Carter.
Now, in an exclusive interview with ABC 13 Houston, mother Tina Knowles-Lawson reveals the inspiration behind the number one album.
“People make it all about the cheating and betrayal and, yes, that’s a part of it because that is something you have to heal from,” Tina Knowles-Lawson said. “If you really listen to the poetry it is one of hope and redemption and hopefully that can be healing for people.”
Song lyrics throughout the album suggested the couple’s marriage was marred with infidelity and secrecy. On “Sorry” Beyonce sings,“Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home / Today I regret the night I put that ring on / He always got them [expletive] excuses.”
On the Mike Dean produced track, “Love Drought,” the 35-year-old sings, “Ten times out of nine, I know you’re lying / But nine times outta ten, I know you’re trying.”
But according to the mother of the multi-platinum singer, the lyrics aren’t a reflection of the Carter-Knowles’s household but could mirror anyone’s.
