Beyoncé doesn’t play when it comes to performing, and mama Tina Knowles recently revealed just how mean her daughter can be when it’s showtime.
Ms. Tina was a guest on Sherri Shepherd’s eponymous talk show on Halloween (October 31), which was themed after Bey’s recent Renaissance Tour. While discussing life on the road and what goes on backstage, Blue Ivy’s grandma had a laugh as she explained Bey’s total personality change.

“We laughed about this recently because I was saying, ‘Girl, you get really mean back there.’ And I am really happy that I don’t have to be back there anymore because I used to do the quick change,” she said. “And she would just be… We laughed because she used to do ‘Flaws and All’ and she would say, ‘I’m a bitch in the morning!’ And I would be like, ‘In the evening too when that concert going!'”
She continued: “And then after we get off, she’ll say, ‘Mama I’m so sorry.’ And I’m like, ‘I know!’ And sometimes she be crying, and I’m like, she crying because she know she just said some crazy stuff to us. But that’s the heat of the moment. Because you’re trying to get your shoes on and everybody’s waiting and if somebody’s messing up or they lose the shoes, then you mess up the whole show! So I understand it.”

The wildly successful Renaissance World Tour has been turned in to a film that will soon hit theaters – though Beyoncé’s mean moments may not make the cut.
Last month, the singer confirmed that a concert film will be released following the trek, which coincided with her blockbuster 2022 album of the same name.

According to its description, the film “accentuates the journey of Renaissance World Tour, from its inception, to the opening in Stockholm, Sweden, to the finale in Kansas City, Missouri.
“It is about Beyoncé’s intention, hard work, involvement in every aspect of the production, her creative mind and purpose to create her legacy, and master her craft. Received with extraordinary acclaim, Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour created a sanctuary for freedom, and shared joy, for more than 2.7 million fans.”
In the trailer, Beyoncé talks about her goal for the tour and how stepping onto the stage makes her feel “free.”
“When I am performing, I am nothing but free,” she says in the clip. “The goal for this tour was to create place where everyone is free, and no one is judged.
“Unique. Start over, start fresh. Create the new. That’s what the renaissance is about. At any point, they could close their eyes and be right back there and take it with them.”

Near the end of the trailer, her husband JAY-Z asks her: “What do you think about this tour?” to which Beyoncé responds: “I feel liberated. I have transitioned into a new animal.”
The film is set to hit theaters on December 1. Tickets are available to purchase here.
