On Thursday May 26th, the Single Ladies songstress took to Instagram with a series of sweet family photos that included her little sister Solange, mum Tina Knowles-Larson and more curiously her father Mathew, who she famously has a complicated relationship with.
“My beautiful Father, Sis, and Mother. I love you guys so deep,” captioned the music icon alongside a happy snap of the three.
The singer’s nearest and dearest stepped out to support their loved one.
Another post shared by the 34-year-old shows her father playing candidly with Bey’s daughter Blue Ivy.
While the images show the picture of a happy family, we can’t help but notice the timing of their debut.
It’s true that the world is still reeling from the release of Queen Bey’s latest and perhaps most scandalous album Lemonade.
Playtime for Blue!
The telling tunes touch on some very personal aspects of the stars life, from her rumoured marital infidelity with Jay-Z, to her complicated relationship with her father.
In the tune “Daddy Lessons”, she sings: “When trouble comes to town / And men like me come around / Oh, my daddy said shoot.”
Also heard in the HBO special are the words spoken by the mother-of-one, “You remind me of my father, a magician / Able to exist in two places at once / In the tradition of men in my blood, you come home at 3 a.m. and lie to me.”

It’s news to no one that Beyoncé’s father Mathew had more than one public foray into infidelity, which eventuated in his divorce from wife Tina back in 2011.
In the very same year, the 20-time Grammy award severed business ties with her dad, who until that point had managed her career all the way back from the Destiny’s Child days.
“I am grateful for everything he has taught me,” the Formation hitmaker said in a statement at the time.
Despite their complications, it would seem that the family have made amends.
“He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly,” her statement continued. “I am grateful for everything he has taught me.”
And Mathew seconded the pleasantries with his own statement. “Business is business and family is family.”
“I love my daughter and am very proud of who she is and all that she has achieved. I look forward to her continued great success.”
Blue and Bey are the Queens of twin style!
