Since Beyoncé dropped her new album, Lemonade, last week, fans have worked hard to decipher her heartfelt lyrics, while a few stars have come forward to let the public know that they aren't featured on the project. In the wake of "Becky With the Good Hair"-gate, Beyoncé's father, Mathew Knowles, spoke to E! News on Tuesday and offered up an interesting theory about the hidden meaning behind some of the songs on Lemonade. "Let me tell you who she's talking about, can I tell you who she's talking about?" The 64-year-old asked before saying, "She's talking about you. You put that in context for you personally. She's talking about you and everybody that is you, that's who she's talking about."

He went on to talk about how Lemonade "relates to everyone," adding, "Every one of us have been disappointed before and have had to go through the grieving process of anger and, you know, disappointment and then acceptance and forgiveness. And I think that's why this again is touching so many people, because it's universal. Everybody can relate to it." He then gushed about being "extremely proud" of his daughter, saying, "Beyoncé just keeps pushing the envelope and setting an example of the whole industry."

Several of Beyoncé's new songs could be aimed at her husband, Jay Z, but a lot of the lyrics have fans convinced that she's also referencing her parents' broken marriage. In an interview with Sirius XM on Monday, Mathew also touched on those rumors, saying, "Only Beyoncé can answer specifically who she was talking to. . . . I would rather not get into speculation." Mathew and Beyoncé's mom, Tina, divorced in 2011 after over 30 years together; it was revealed in 2009 that Mathew fathered a child with another woman and shortly after the split, Beyoncé also ended her professional relationship with Mathew, who had been her manager since the Destiny's Child days.

Beyoncé Knowles is far from rich as Bill Gates, but according to an article on CNN, Beyoncé is built to become one of the entertainment icons of the world's most successful, like ... Bill Gates.
In her latest music video, "Formation", Knowles sang about wealth and its influence. She emphasizes her value does not change, despite the fact that she has "earned how much money."
In between songs, told her husband, Jay Z rap artist, Beyonce said: "He can become a Bill Gates", then she suddenly turned to praise yourself, and say " I may be a Bill Gates ".
Beyoncé's assets by Forbes magazine estimated at $ 250 million. The assets of both spouses Beyonce combined estimated $ 1 billion.
While according to Forbes, the assets of Bill Gates $ 75 billion.
But Beyonce is still confident there is much the same as Bill Gates.
Charity
Both Bill Gates and Beyonce are actively doing charity, to help the world's poorest communities. Beyonce is appreciated in the relief efforts in the disaster Hurricane Katrina, and she helped raise money for the humanitarian efforts of the United Nations.
Meanwhile, Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is a well-known charity for the poor in Africa. He helped the African people against disease, poverty and bad sanitary condition.
Business
Both Gates and Beyonce have the project well-known business success. Microsoft's Bill Gates was once the most valuable company market shares. Windows operating systems are running on about 90% of computers worldwide.
Beyonce's fame also allowed her to reach its own independence in the entertainment industry that other artists do not get. She has a surprising new album on iTunes in 2014. She has created an ego Sasha Fierce. Her latest song, also makes the public aghast, played exclusively on Tidal, streaming services which she co-owns with husband Jay Z.
Beyonce also has a number of significant contributions to major corporations, especially Pepsi, financial firms fear the Super Bowl.
And failure
The success of Bill Gates came along with many failures. Windows Media Center, Microsoft Bob, Windows Me and Windows Vista are the major defeat of Bill Gates. In the late 1990s, Microsoft has been the US Justice Department and the European Union conditions for antitrust violations. It was forced to go to court because of the incident.
Beyoncé also failures. She and her mother established the fashion line called House of Dereon. Knowles helped design Dereon jeans and sell them at Macy's. But all failed. Even the Beyoncé has never wear them. 

The Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie makes a surprise appearance onBeyoncé's latest album, released on iTunes this morning, declaiming: "We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls 'You can have ambition, but not too much'."

The novelist's intervention comes during the track ***Flawless, appearing as a series of samples from her impassioned TEDxEuston talk, "We should all be feminists".

During the speech, the Orange prize-winning author argues that differing expectations of men and women damage economic and social prospects in Nigeria, and more generally around Africa and the world.

Beyoncé has been particularly inspired by sections where Adichie explores attitudes towards marriage, sampling a passage where the novelist talks directly about aspirations.

The Music Industry has just entered into the great battle of its life and nobody realizes it. Nothing since the launch of Napster has had larger impact on the future of the recording business than Beyonce’s decision to push forward with an iTunes-only release.

It wasn’t the lack of promotion that was the shocker, nor the visual album that broke the ground. It was the mere decision to move ahead of physical retail. As only Tamar Braxton could say it best, SHE DID THAT. And not only did she do that, she did it well, breaking sales records all along the way.

Now, Target (in an entirely unwise move, in my opinion) has mobilized its rumored army and met Beyonce and the entire rest of the music industry, unwittingly dragged along, in the epic battle that no one previously wanted to fight. See, in all the years that I’ve worked in music, the most serious tension that existed, the push backwards against the trend toward digital, was the absolute paralyzing fear that if we did anything to upset physical retail, namely move forward with a digital release ahead of them, the world would absolutely end. Sun, so more. Just pitch. black. night. And no more record sales. It would end us. That fear kept us beholden to piracy, album leaks, and huge promotional spends to guarantee rack space and prioritization, even though everyone knows that physical CD’s are used as a loss leader everywhere it counts. Yes, the wrath of physical retail was the boogeyman that no one wanted to face, that no one in the music industry felt that we were strong enough to fight.

Enter Beyonce and her army of girl-power-infused “she-devil” feminists. And I use the term “she devil” with the utmost respect – it connotes a lack of fear. An “I don’t give a single f*ck and haven’t had any to give in an while” kind of bravado that not only must you respect, but if you’re any kind of institution, any kind of old school retail gatekeeper or guardsman, has got to have you shaking just a little in your well-entrenched boots. This battle you never thought you’d have to fight. This battle you’re going to lose; and truth be told, it was lost before the battle began. To borrow from Tamar Braxton again, SHE WON.

It was only the fear of what might happen (loss of sales, not loss of physical retail support) that kept the music industry stuck with day and date release parity with physical retail. Now, thanks to Target, we get to see what actually will (or in this case won’t) be the actual repercussion. Remember the Cold War? Well, it was a war that was never intended to be fought. As was this with the music industry. Target should have never entered the battlefield. Walmart and Best Buy didn’t. At least this way, they could have always held the fear overhead and continued, for a while at least, to say “what if.” But now we know what if. Nothing is what. More sales at digital is what. Lack of leaks and thwarting piracy is what. iTunes is officially crowned King of Music is what. Digital wins.

And for all other industries living in fear of fighting this same battle, both sides should watch closely. Because if you chose to fight, one will have to die. If you choose to cooperate, you actually might step forward into what we like to call INNOVATION.

About
Born on: 4th Sep 81

Sexy superstar Beyonce Knowles looks like she has it all. But the truth is never that simple.

She may be a modern music, fashion and beauty icon but Queen Bee has faced major trials and tribulations in her life.

Even now, at the peak of her success, rumours swirl about the state of her marriage to music titan Jay Z.

A fascinating book by the former editor of Star magazine and showbiz expert Anna Pointer celebrates the life of this extraordinary woman but also takes a look a the sometimes harsh realty beneath the glittering exterior.

Beyonce: Running The World: The Biography is an eye-opening read and Anna has selected 10 remarkable facts about the real woman behind the myth, exclusively for Express.co.uk.

Scroll down for the 10 shocking facts about Beyoncé



1) SHE WAS TEASED AT SCHOOL

Despite her beauty, Beyoncé was terribly insecure as a child.

Growing up in Houston, she got teased about her ears which she jokes ‘were bigger than my head’, and earned her the nickname Dumbo.

Bey also says she was a ‘chubby kid’, and grew so convinced that other girls would cut off her long hair that she wore her hair in a bun for the first six months of middle school.

2) HER NAME COMES FROM HER MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME

Her name derives from her mum Tina’s maiden name, Beyincé.

Tina wanted to keep the name going when she married husband Mathew Knowles so they named their firstborn Beyoncé.

But the young starlet-in-the-making hated her name and it became yet another reason for kids to pick on her at school.



3) PARENTAL PROBLEMS
The strain of trying to make Beyoncé a singing success proved too much for her parents and they separated when she was just 13 - with Tina saying Mathew was too ‘obsessed’ with their daughter’s career.

The split badly affected the youngster and she turned to her church in Houston, where she was frequently seen crying.

Though Tina and Mathew did eventually reconcile, they broke up for good in 2010 after 31 years of marriage.

4) SHE SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION

After two of the original members of Destiny’s Child, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson left the band amid a swirl of controversy, it hit Beyoncé very hard.

She struggled to eat and shut herself away in her room, later admitting she suffered depression for two years.

LeToya and LaTavia claimed Beyoncé received special treatment in the group and that Tina Knowles ordered them to have tanning sessions to darken their black skin.

On the counter-attack, Beyoncé questioned their singing skills and even branded LeToya ‘tone deaf.’


5) EARLY DAYS WITH JAY-Z

Beyoncé first got together with Jay-Z after sparks flew on a Vanity Fair shoot in 2001.

But their courtship was very innocent at first and for the first 18 months it was conducted solely over the phone.

The pair were extremely wary of creating a media circus - especially as Jay-Z hailed from a difficult background.

He was once a crack dealer on a tough New York estate and even shot his brother in the shoulder after believing he had stolen his ring.

SCROLL DOWN FOR POINT NO 6: LOSING HER VIRGINITY


6) LOSING HER VIRGINITY

Beyoncé’s first boyfriend was a boy called Lyndall Locke, a boy from her church group who she began dating aged 12.

They were an item for seven years, but she was less than complimentary about him in later years, saying their first kiss ‘sucked.’

Lyndall later admitted cheating on the star - citing the somewhat lame excuse that he didn't feel worthy of her!

However, it’s thought that Beyoncé decided not to lose her virginity to him - and that she waited until she was with Jay-Z for that to happen.

7) THE INVENTION OF SASHA FIERCE

Her stage persona Sasha Fierce was dreamt up by her cousin Angie when they were kids as a way of helping her cope with crippling nerves whenever she performed.

The name stuck around for years - until Beyoncé made the decision to kill Sasha off in 2010.



8) ANIMAL RIGHTS CONTROVERSY
Fashion forward she may be, but Beyoncé has had frequent run-ins with animal rights group PETA, who regularly criticise her for wearing fur and skins.

On one occasion, two activists posing as competition winners ambushed her in Nobu restaurant in New York and filmed the encounter.

Asking her why she felt the need to wear fur, Beyoncé replied that she felt ‘uncomfortable’ to be put on the spot and resolutely ignored the rest of their questions.

As her angry mum Tina stepped in, the pair were escorted out of the restaurant by staff.



9) IS SHE JEALOUS OF RIHANNA?
Beyoncé’s marriage has come under vast scrutiny in the past few months and her husband has been linked to many famous women over the years - including his young protégée Rihanna.

Though the two women have both denied rumours that they don’t get on, Beyoncé reportedly once banned any of Ri-Ri’s music from being played at a clothing launch for her House of Deréon range in Toronto.


10) BOOTYLICIOUS IS A REAL WORD

A true cultural phenomenon of our times, Beyoncé’s invented word ‘Bootylicious’ was even added to the Oxford English dictionary in 2008.

But she later admitted she found the word ‘really irritating.
