#BBB NEWS| Beyoncé Channels Yoruba Goddess Oshun In Maternity Album [PHOTO]

Beyoncé stopped the world yet again when she announced her pregnancy earlier this week, complete with an album featuring stunning shots of her growing belly.

What may not have been as obvious to the eye were Queen Bey’s references to the Yoruba tradition, which originated in Nigeria before expanding to Latin America via the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

This isn’t the first time the Grammy Award-winning artist paid homage to the practice. Before channeling Oshun (also spelled Osun) while awaiting the arrival of her twin babies, Beyoncé paid tribute to the goddess of water, fertility and love in visual album Lemonade, most notably seen in “Hold Up.”

Long before Beyonce became known as Queen Bey who dropped surprise albums, destroyed edges and commanded us to get in formation, she was just a teen from Texas in the beginning stages of her career with Destiny’s Child.

Successfield, an organization aimed at motivating others through inspirational quotes and videos from today’s most influential and successful entrepreneurs, business executive and entertainers, dug up a old video of 16 year old Beyonce in which she outlined what it takes to be successful.

Sporting a new navel ring, a thick Texas accent and chock full of 16 year old goodness, Beyonce’s rules for success as a teen don’t seem to really differ from Lemonade Beyonce.

“My advice is to keep God first. That’s the main thing, keep God first. We go to church every Sunday together and I think that’s what gives this group the bond that we have. Pray every night and be serious with your prayers. Also, stay humble. I know we’re going to stay humble. If you ever meet me and I have a little attitude, just slap me.”

Beyonce will reportedly be returning to the big screen in what might be her biggest role since Dream Girls.

Word on the cinema streets is that Mrs. Carter will star in the upcoming biopic film about South African slave, Saartjie Baartman.

Although she has enjoyed a couple of well-received films, Bey still considers herself a breakthrough artist in the acting world, according to The Sun. And her upcoming role set to change all of that.

Saarjtie Baartman was a South African woman enslaved by a Dutch farmer in the early 1800s.

The film will depict her life leading up to her death in 1815.

In addition to starring in the biopic, Beyonce will also allegedly lend a hand in writing, The Sun reports. The release date has yet to be revealed, but it looks like it wasn’t enough to conquer the music world; now Queen Bey has her sights sets on taking over Hollywood.

#BBB NEWS| Rihanna’s Ex-Publicist Apologizes For Starting Jay Z And Beyonce Cheating Rumor

A unauthorized biography about the life of Beyonce has the masses questioning her marriage to Jay Z once again.

In the book, titled Becoming Beyonce, author J. Randy Taraborelli claims that The Carters took a nearly year-long break ten years ago after rumors surfaced that Jay Z cheated with Rihanna. With the story getting a whole new breath of life thanks to Taraborelli, the man behind the snafu has come forward with an apology for spreading the false story.

In a statement to the New York Daily News, Rihanna’s ex-publicist Jonathan Hay revealed his current business relationship with TIDAL, and his hopes that the rumor did not affect it.

“I was blindsided by the news of ‘Becoming Beyoncé’ coming out and it couldn’t come at a worse time for me,” he said. “I’m currently releasing projects with my label Urban Hitchcock through Tidal, a company that is owned by Jay Z and Beyoncé … Hopefully this news hasn’t ruined that relationship for me.”

It was billed as the epic event of the year; a ridiculously lofty title that even within the razzle dazzle showbiz universe we live in can come off as pure, eye rolling hype.

But even if Tuesday’s (October 20) buzz-heavy, star-studded Tidal X concert at Brooklyn’s Barclay Center—headlined by Jay Z and Beyonce, and backed up by the roaring likes of Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, French Montana, Usher, Nick Jonas, Nas, and Lil Wayne—didn’t have extended set lists by these music mavens (all did one or two songs, yet the consensus is the head-banging, hair whipping Queen Bey stole the show), the sheer star power of it all was still impressive.

Yet for the thousands of fans who were a part of the fast-paced festivities, a chest-beating statement to celebrate 1 million subscribers of the Jay Z owned streaming music service Tidal, the nonprofit charity show featured an omnipresent brand throughout the main stage of the arena home of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets as well as behind-the-scenes: D’USSE cognac. Of course, this was by no means some ham-fisted advertising ploy.
