Many of the you don’t know so let’s give you some education while you all scream Slay, Queen at Beyoncé‘s 2017 Grammy Awards performance.
The
pop star who is pregnant with twins, debuted her baby bump tonight for
the first time since announcing she’s pregnant with twins a couple of
weeks ago. For her performance which also featured her 5 year old
daughter Blue Ivy Carter and mother – Tina Knowles, Bey embraced and
showed off her pregnant belly in a gold bikini and gold sequin gown
which she topped off with a gold medusa crown.
But what many don’t know is that Bey drew inspiration from Nigeria for her performance, specifically the Yoruba culture.
For
her much talked about Grammy award performance Beyoncé Giselle Knowles
Carter channeled Oshun, the Yoruba goddess of love, fertility and
healing.
This
isn’t the first time the Grammy Award-winning artist has paid homage to
Oshun and Yoruba culture. She did the same in her much talked about
maternity shoot, announcing her twin pregnancy and last year in the
video for “Hold Up” off her visual album Lemonade.
