Tina Knowles-Lawson Explains That “Beyoncé” Is Actually Her Maiden Name

Tina Knowles-Lawson Explains That “Beyoncé” Is Actually Her Maiden Name

In the first episode of the “In My Head with Heather Thomson” podcast, Tina Knowles-Lawson opened up about a few things including the origin of Beyoncé’s name. During Tuesday’s show, the 66-year-old fashion designer and businesswoman revealed that “Beyoncé” is actually her maiden name.

“A lot of people don’t know that Beyoncé is my last name. It’s my maiden name,” she said. “My name was Celestine Beyoncé, which at that time was not a cool thing to have that weird name. I wanted my name to be Linda Smith because those were the cool names,” the matriarch, who is also the mom to singer Solange Knowles, shared.

She went on to explain that various family members have different spellings of the “Beyoncé” last name due to a clerical error.
“I think me and my brother Skip were the only two that had B-E-Y-O-N-C-E,” she said. “And it’s interesting and it shows you the times because we asked my mother when I was grown I was like why is my brother’s name spelled B-E-Y-I-N-C-E? And you know it’s all these different spellings. And my mom’s reply to me and was that’s what they put on your birth certificate. So I said, ‘Well, why didn’t you argue and make them correct it? And she said I did one time and I was told be happy that you’re getting a birth certificate. Because at one time black people didn’t get birth certificates.”

Mrs. Lawson added that it “must’ve been horrible” feeling for her mother to “not to even be able to have her children’s names spelled correctly,” PEOPLE quotes.

As many are aware, she later took on a different surname when she tied the knot to Beyonce and Solange’s father; their former manager, Mathew Knowles. After their divorce in 2011, she then married Richard Lawson in 2015.

In the clip, you can here Tshepang being asked why she’s crying. Her response: “It’s just so beautiful.” The heartwarming video was shared to Twitter and already has over 300,000 views. Mrs. Lawson said earlier this month that the video of Tshepang’s reaction also had her in tears. “This is the message that Beyonce worked so hard to convey, I prayed hard that the message would get through and that little black girls everywhere could see the beauty that is in our Black people and our culture and our ancestors. She is beautiful and so is this!!!!”

Earlier this week, Lawson shared another post on her Instagram. It was a screenshot of Tshepang’s aunt who revealed that Beyoncé called the little girl to personally thank her. “NDA is a real thing. But basically, she just wanted to personally thank my niece for such a beautiful reaction to her love letter to Africa. She also wanted to tell her how gorgeous she is and tell her quote “You are my gift,” her aunt tweeted.

Social media’s were quick to praise Beyoncé for her sweet gesture and for creating such a masterpiece with her latest project.

#JusticeForBreonnaTaylor: Tina Knowles-Lawson Calls Out Kentucky AG For His ‘Coonery’, Demands Charges

On June 14, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter penned an open letter on her website addressed to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron asking him to bring charges against the police officers who killed Breonna Taylor inside her home. “Three months have passed — and zero arrests have been made, and no officers have been fired,” she wrote.

Nearly two weeks later, the family of Breonna Taylor has still not received justice for the 26-year-old emergency medical technician, who was an aspiring nurse. Now, Beyoncé’s mother Tina Lawson is calling out Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron for failing to bring charges against the police officers involved in the death of Taylor.

Mrs. Lawson took to Instagram and reposted a series of photos that were allegedly taken recently at Cameron’s engagement party. Frustrated and heartbroken to see Cameron living his best life while Taylor’s family is still grieving over the loss of their loved one; Lawson wrote: “I was shocked to learn that the attorney general for Kentucky is a 34-year-old black man. We are ASHAMED of you brother!!! Coonery at it ‘s finest! 💔💔”

Lawson later edited her caption and said; 

“I was shocked to learn that the attorney general for Kentucky is a 34 year old black man. When Breonna’s Mother Tamika asked to speak with him , he had someone else call her. ! 💔💔 where are their masks?”

As we previously reported, Taylor, who survived the frontlines of a pandemic that disproportionately kills Black people, was was shot and killed by plainclothes officers conducting a “no-knock” search warrant at her apartment in March as part of a narcotics investigation. No drugs were found at the scene.

The city has since banned no-knock warrants. No charges have been brought against the officers involved in her death. One officer, Brett Hankison, was fired from the force last week. However, none of the officers involved have been arrested or charged for Taylor’s murder.
