Beyoncé Calls Fame a Prison, Embraces Creative Freedom
Iconic American singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter recently opened up about the challenges that come with fame, revealing that, at times, it can feel like a prison.
Now 43, the globally renowned artist shared that she has adopted a new approach to her creative process—one that prioritizes freedom over the pressure of public expectations.
In an interview with GQ, Beyoncé explained that she no longer chases perfectionism, instead focusing on personal growth, creativity, and innovation.
Her shift in perspective has allowed her to move at her own pace when creating music and other artistic projects.
According to the star, her goal is to craft work that resonates deeply with others, encouraging them to explore their own inner strength and creativity.
“I create at my own pace, on things that I hope will touch other people. I hope my work encourages people to look within themselves and come to terms with their own creativity, strength, and resilience.
I focus on storytelling, growth, and quality. I’m not focused on perfectionism. I focus on evolution, innovation, and shifting perception,” she shared.
Beyoncé also addressed why she often retreats from the spotlight when she isn’t actively promoting her work.
She explained that the pressures of fame can feel burdensome, which is why she steps away from the public eye when she’s not ready to share her art.
Her absences from red carpets or other major events are not due to a lack of interest but are instead a way of maintaining balance in her life.
By distancing herself from the constant scrutiny, Beyoncé is able to reconnect with herself and focus on projects that bring her joy and fulfillment.
“Working on the music for *Cowboy Carter* and launching this exciting new project feels nothing like prison, nor a burden.
In fact, I only work on what liberates me. It is fame that can at times feel like prison.
So, when you don’t see me on red carpets, and when I disappear until I have art to share, that’s why,” she explained.
The Grammy-winning artist also spoke about her perspective on retirement.
While some may wonder if she’s contemplating stepping away from music, Beyoncé made it clear that her passion for creating powerful, meaningful art is unwavering.
For her, as long as there is a message worth sharing, there will always be music to make.
When asked about the possibility of retiring, she confidently replied, “Good music and strong messages will never retire.”
Davido, the Afrobeats superstar whose real name is David Adeleke, recently opened up about being Nigeria’s most criticized celebrity, all because he comes from a wealthy family. In a candid chat on the Culture Knock Out podcast, he shared how the “rich kid” label could’ve derailed his music career early on if he hadn’t kept his background under wraps at first.
He explained that he’d already dropped a few chart-topping hits before people found out about his family’s wealth. “By the time they realized my dad had money, it was too late—I’d already blown up with three hit songs,” he said with a grin. Davido admitted the stigma of being a rich kid in music could’ve been a bigger hurdle, but his early success shielded him from the worst of it.
Driven by pure passion, he was ready to chase his music dreams no matter what—even if it meant giving up everything. “I didn’t care if I ended up broke or homeless. Music was all I wanted, and nothing was going to stop me,” he said.
Over time, though, the hate started rolling in, largely because of his privileged background. But Davido’s response keeps making great music that speaks for itself. And it’s been working. He shrugged off the criticism with a relatable take: “It’s just how it goes. When you’re at the top of anything, people will come for you. It’s like running for office—everyone loves you until you win and become president. Then the hate starts.”
