*Beyoncé dominated social media over the weekend when her Coachella performance confirmed her status as the Queen of Pop.
Her Beychella set included a Destiny’s Child reunion, a dance-off with Solange, a Jay-Z appearance, and an HBCU marching band.
But Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Lawson, worried that the predominantly white audience at Coachella just wouldn’t “get” her daughter’s set.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Ms. Tina explained how she told Beyoncé she was worried the “predominantly white audience at Coachella would be confused by all of the black culture and Black college culture.”
She wrote her daughter replie: “i have worked very hard to get to the point where i have a true voice and At this point in my life and my career i have a responsibility to do whats best for the world and not what is most popular.”

Tina added that Beyonce said she hoped her performance would inspire young people to “research this culture and see how cool it is, and young people black and white would listen to LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING and see how amazing the words are for us all and bridge the gap.”
