The singer, who has won numerous Grammy awards, asserted that she puts in more work than anyone she knows.

The cover star of GQ Magazine for October is Beyoncé.

“I have paid my dues a hundred times over. I have worked harder than anyone I know. And now I work smarter,” she stated.

“In the end, the biggest reward is personal joy. Has what I created pushed others to think freely and believe in the impossible? If the answer to that question is yes, then that is the gift.”

The crooner of “Brown Skin Girl” emphasised that singing is essential to her and that without it, she would be “a walking dead.”

She said, “It [singing] is one of the deepest joys of my life, a necessity as vital as breath. Without singing, without music, without creating, I would be a walking dead. Creating music isn’t work for me; it’s what I was born to do.”

At 32 awards, Beyoncé, 43, is the most decorated individual in Grammy history.

In addition, she is among the best-selling musicians in history worldwide.

Numerous music enthusiasts have referred to her as “The Queen of Pop.”

The incident quickly went viral and drew backlash from netizens who condemned the artist’s aggressive behaviour, reigniting discussions about his controversial public conduct.

Portable on Monday, went live on Instagram as he confronted a middle-aged man outside his bar in Sango Ota, Ogun State.

The visibly enraged singer, addressing the man who seemed to be holding a Bible, questioned, “Why disturb my customers on a Monday morning?” before proceeding to slap him.

“This is how they spoil my business and disturb my business. Are you crazy? Early on a Monday, you’re spoiling my business. I had prayed for myself before leaving home,” he added before asking the man to leave the vicinity.

Portable’s actions did not sit well with many social media users; some of whom called him out for assault.

Reacting to this some netizens on X.com, tweeting with #delemon said
