In a heart-warming video clip, American megastar Beyonce, who released a record-breaking album last week, has described her experience as an artiste and the challenges she had faced in her career from childhood till date.

In the 4 and a half minute clip, the singer talks about neglecting the people she loved for her music, the feelings she shares towards Blue Ivy and hubby Jay Z, what she’s now striving for, and her inspiration for one of her tracks on the new album titled Flawless, in which she featured Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

According to her, “I was scrolling through videos on femininity on Youtube when I came across this video of this incredible Nigerian author, Chimamanda Adichie. Everything she said is exactly how I feel.”

“My message in this album was finding the beauty in imperfection,” Bey continues. ”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!”

The star also spoke fondly about her daughter and husband in the 4 and a half minute clip, and also neglecting the people she loved for her music, the feelings she shares towards Blue Ivy and hubby Jay Z, and what she’s now striving for.

She said, “I have a lot of awards and I have a lot of these things that are amazing and I worked my ass off, I worked harder than probably everybody I know to get those things, but nothing feels like my child singing ‘mummy’.”

The megastar mum-of-one then goes on to say she’s striving for for love, happiness and fun.

“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 peoples 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!”
