Beyonce’s mum has given confirmation about the meaning behind her daughter’s latest album, Lemonade

To the listener, it seems pretty obvious that the lyrics are heavily immersed in the theme of personal betrayal. However, no confirmation has been given of its true meaning, until now.

Tina Knowles Lawson, AKA Beyonce’s mum, has spoken up about the album’s themes.

"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," she told ABC13, “If you really listen to the poetry it is one of hope and redemption and hopefully that can be healing for people."

Tina didn’t clarify whether the infidelity themes on the album were a direct commentary on Beyonce’s relationship with husband Jay Z, nor did she state who Becky with the good hair is. She did, however, state that everyone can related to the album as everyone has likely to have been "betrayed and lied to and it's about the pain. And it's about the healing process. It's about how do you get past that and move on."

She also discussed her divorce with Beyonce’s father, Matthew Knowles after she discovered that he had fathered a secret love child in 2010. "I remember my first little pity party and I called them crying and you know, they all came," she said, "we had a slumber party, and we watched old movies all night and ate ice cream. It was very healing."

In other news, Jay Z is reportedly working on a new album in retaliation to Beyonce’s Lemonade.
