Beyonce Explained Why She Featured Chimamanda Adichie

World famous star Beyonce explained why she featured the Half of a Yellow Sun author in one of her songs entitled "Flawless". 

According to Beyonce, she was going through videos on feminity on Youtube, when she came across this video of "this incredible Nigerian author, Chimamanda Adichie."

The singer confessed:

"Everything she said is exactly how I feel. My message in this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.

"I had this image of this trophy and me accepting these awards and kind of training myself to be a champion and at the end of the day when you go through all of these things, is it worth it? I mean, you get this trophy and you’re like, ‘I basically starved, I have neglected all the people that I love, I’ve conformed to what everybody else thinks I should be and I have this trophy. What does that mean?

“The trophy represents all of the sacrifices I made as a kid, all the time I lost being on the road in the studios as a child and I just want to throw that s**t up!”

Beyonce also spoke about her daughter, Blue Ivy, stressing that despite the number of awards she has received throughout her career, nothing can be compared with her child singing "mummy."

... and about her husband Jay Z:

"No, nothing feels like when I look my husband in the eyes, nothing feels like when I’m respected, when I get on the stage and I see I’m changing people’s lives. Those are the things that matter and at this point in my life that’s what I’m striving for – growth, love, happiness, fun."

She also gave one final piece of advice to her fans, "Enjoy your life – its short. That’s the message!" she added.
