Beyonces life has always been one of intrigue, scrutiny and frequent tabloid fodder. Now, her uncle Larry Beyince opens up to Celebuzz about the rumor shes pregnant with baby No. 2, whats really behind Blue Ivys name, what the family thinks about their Queen B becoming Mrs. Jay-Z, and Beys estranged relationship with her father.
On Beyonces Early Rise To Fame
She didnt want to be famous. She just wanted to be a normal child. She loved to watch cartoons and be with her friends. She was forced into singing.
It took away her whole childhood. Everything was geared toward being famous. She used to get angry at [her father] a lot for taking away her childhood. That affected her.
I would prefer she was just my little niece, but shes a lot better off than most women.
On Beyonces Father Mathew Knowles
I wasnt surprised she fired him [as her manager]. Im glad, actually.
I know he was getting 20 percent of whatever she made, and from what I know he wasnt doing much for her.
All I knew is that he wanted her to be famous and rich so he could be rich.
One reason I was glad she got married is because she was no longer under her dads control. He is a control freak.
On Beyonce Before Becoming Mrs. Jay-Z:
He was after her and she wasnt. She told me she wasnt too particularly fond of him.
I would see him with her and pictures of them, I heard rumors they were together and she told me no. You know how women get that look like eww. I guess she wasnt attracted to him.
But as long as he treats her well and makes her happy, thats all I ever wanted. Hes okay with me.
On Beyonce Getting Married:
I was surprised she married him. I think she got tired of being alone. When you have as much money as she does she has to be careful about people wanting her for her money. And apparently he had as much as she had.
I dont think the family cared. Just that whatever hes doing hes making money [and] made it okay.
On The Meaning Of Blue Ivy:
Ivy is for the Roman numeral No. 4. Beyonces birthday is on the 4th, she got married on the 4th and her mothers birthday is on the 4th. So its got meaning to her.
Ill speak to her [Blue] on the phone. She likes to watch cartoons and Sesame Street. She told me hi and dog and moo and meow and woof woof. And then she just said bye bye.
On The Rumor That Beyonce Is Pregnant Again:
I have no idea. I havent heard nothing, except that shes on tour.
Even then [when she was pregnant with Blue Ivy] she tried to keep everything secret like its a really big deal. She didnt want everyone to know.
She did tell me she wants to have more, but I didnt know how fast. I think now would be too soon. She just had one and she needs time to really raise that baby.
Hov made sure he got that
