Beyoncé Birthday speech to Jay-Z

Clip : Life Is But A Dream
In honor of Hov ‘s 50th birthday , throwback to this special moment between him and his future wife and mother to his three children

[@feraynor205]

When I hear women say that a man taught them how to be a women it means he taught you how to be what he wants from a woman. That was then this is now.I pray that they last and learn.

[@joymechell277]

True 😂 I don’t know people think they mean it literally . He taught her things that go beyond simply being a woman and made her into a new version of herself and now she’s a mommy to three and a wife of 12 years

[@evelyntaylor4470]

This makes me cringe. Because she is so uncomfortable. When she says he taught her how to be a woman. I believe he showed her the woman he wanted but she was her own woman as well, it's a relationship. She was 25. He was 33. I hope after Lemonade and 4:44. She has healed from the pain, and he is using the "tools" . He had to lose her to learn how to love her likes she deserves. Hopefully they will be able to rebuild trust, love and respect. I wish them well!!💯❤️

[@varnemi]

He groomed her. He was way older than her. She was just 20

[@elleelegance7942]

@@evelyntaylor4470 why do you guys just outright lie like this? When their is Valid research and facts to actually assist you with correct info. He was 33 when she was 21 years old. He did infact groom her. They are 12 years apart! This man been preying on her since she was 18/19 years old. She only says 20 to make him not look bad cos it doesn't have a 'teen' on the end of it.

[@evelyntaylor4470]

@@elleelegance7942 ok, it happens Celine Dion was 12 yrs old when she first met her husband he was 26; Mila Kunis was 14 when she met Ashton; Doug Hutchison was 51 when he married his 16 year old wife; Mark Anthony is 54 and just married his 23 year old wife, legal not a teenager. So yes there is grooming. The 12 year age gap is significant, 10 years is significant, but not extremely huge,not extremely uncommon. Not my business. I will leave these people alone!!!✌

[@jakestroll6518]

Beyonce is a very shy person and we've all seen her struggle to articulate in interviews because she gets so nervous with eyes on her. He is emotionally unexpressive especially publicly. That said, I do think their dynamic was skewed in those days. I hope LEMONADE evened the scale

She went from this to "Who the f@ck do you think I am? You aint married to no average b@tch, boy" and swinging baseball bats. LOL

[@megansontv7969]

This struggle to articulate narrative is racist asf… she’s always been able to express her thoughts rather clearly and i grew up on this woman so i’ve seen her interviews. Trying to be careful with what she says has afforded her probably more than you can imagine. Just because she doesn’t sound like you want her to sound doesn’t mean she’s illiterate. Do better. There has never been an article about her confusing anybody with what she has said, ever.

RITTLE ME THIS HOW CAN A MAN TEACH A WOMAN TO BE A WOMAN ?

[@claudiawest52]

Johnson, she meant that he taught her how to be independent, owning her decisions, and not to be afraid of not trying new things. Basically, growing up and putting childish things behind...not relying on your parents, but making your own choices.

[@cavalrystyles8776]

Females are a compliment to Masculinity, & Males automatically Compliment the Feminine thus enhancing a woman's femininity. That's basically how heteroxuality works. This is why a flamboyant man is actually viewed as masculine JUST SOLELY FOR having an attraction to females. And the same is true for woman whom have an attraction towards the same gender.

[@gurtrudelupi9031]

Exactly it makes no sense. Did you not have a mother, aunties, older female cousins? How can a man with a history of misogyny teach you about healthy womanhood?

[@gurtrudelupi9031]

@@claudiawest52 these are all the things a ✨parent✨ is supposed to teach their daughter. This is not tecahing her how to be a 'woman', this is just how to be a functional human being. If I takes a romantic partner to do that then the parents have failed.

@@gurtrudelupi9031 parents aren't perfect. We do the best we can. Also, as a parent of 3 grown men, i can assure you that they never listened to my advise. They went ahead and did their own thing, which didn't quite work out for them.😪

[@megansontv7969]

[@chess7558]

This video should be broadcasted to every media outlet that exists and repeated 10× over. This Man took a young girl and molded her into a Woman by teaching her to be independent.He was the driving force for her to go Solo and find her niche in the music business. He was the driving force behind her pursuing acting. He was the driving force behind her taking time off to go over her recording contracts and renegotiate a lucrative deal. He was the driving force behind her distancing her self from her Parents and start making grown Woman decisions. Beyonce had a host of insecurities that he freed her from.

[@mariahyohannes]

Lmaooo you are yo invested these people lives. Just as he has done much for her, she has done just as much for him. A marriage is about pouring into each other.

[@chess7558]

@@mariahyohannes You obviously didn't watch the video or when you did it outraged you to hear a Woman of her calibur pour out her truth. I know it probably didn't support your feminist stance and of course you use emotional rhetoric to try and insult me as if you could insult me. She spoke her truth and I'm proud a Black Man was on the recieving end of her gratitude. Listen and pay attention next time to the message not the messenger. God gave you two ears and one mouth so you should listen twice as much as you speak. Have a blessed evening.

[@mariahyohannes]

@@chess7558 I heard the video and I also said you are to invested in these peoples lives. My point still stands. And you clearly have no idea the definition of what feminist means. Maybe when someone marry's your ghetto ass you will understand what I'm saying.

@@chess7558 Given him all that praise is kinda ridiculous considering beyonce had been like that since destiny’s child. she has been open in the later years on her success and never credited him for it so I think it’s a ridiculous to get her a credit someone else for something he couldn’t even do himself.

i love beyoncé but this speech is cringeworthy. jayz is a groomer and a manipulator, he didn’t teach her how to be a woman, he MADE her be the woman HE wanted her to be. just to turn around and cheat on her on multiple occasions. jayz is playing with beyoncé’s mind ever since she was young. unfortunately beyoncé is just stuck in his trap thinking this is true love because she was made to believe it was.

[@Kykylandfarming]

And there is psychics on KZbin that say he is still cheating! They said he never stopped! I feel so bad for her.

[@hoseokfeen]

@@Kykylandfarming i don’t believe in psychics or anything like that, but i wouldn’t be surprised. he’s done with beyonce and no longer finds her attractive. she’s given her life to him and he was only using her as a pawn but now he’s stuck with her because he know he’s nothing without beyoncé’s fame. beyoncé leveling jayz up as much as people hate to admit it

[@KennethStBrice]

LOL THAT is how marriages work. YOU literally described it just with incendiary language. You clearly have nothing to contribute to a man besides the wreckage of your damaged decisions and you are aging as we speak, which man wants that. Go eat your cat food and sip your wine elsewhere and let this woman enjoy her life with her man.
