Global superstar Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has opened up about the pressures of fame, describing it as a "prison" at times.

In a recent interview with GQ, the 43-year-old singer revealed that while fame can feel burdensome, her creative process is about innovation and evolution, not perfection.

Beyoncé explained that she now makes music at her own pace, focusing on storytelling and inspiring others. “I create at my own pace, on things that I hope will touch other people. I’m not focused on perfectionism. I focus on evolution, innovation, and shifting perception,” she said.

The "Renaissance" hitmaker added that she often disappears from the public eye because fame can be overwhelming, choosing to only re-emerge when she has something meaningful to share. “Fame... can at times feel like prison. When you don’t see me on red carpets, and when I disappear until I have art to share, that’s why.”

As for retirement, Beyoncé was clear: “Good music and strong messages will never retire.” 

Fans are excited for her upcoming project Cowboy Carter, which she hinted is a liberating experience rather than a burden.
