Beyonce Knowles needs no introduction.

Here are seven interesting facts you don’t know about Queen Bey…
She was named after her mother
Tina Knowles Lawson, Beyonce’s mother, was born as Celestine Beyonce.
She was concerned about losing her maiden name’s heritage after marrying her husband.
Beyonce’s brother is named Beyince due to a keyboard error.
Tina then named her daughter after her surname.
She won numerous competitions as a child
Even at 7 years old, Beyonce was already a superstar.
Her high notes were noticed when performing songs like “Imagine.”
She even won a talent show over people twice her age.
This inspired her father to get Beyonce into multiple singing competitions which she won 35 in a row.
Four is her favourite number
She claims that four means a lot to her.
It is her birthday’s number, as well as her husband Jay Z and her mother.
Her wedding anniversary is on the fourth day of the fourth month of the year.

Back in 2002, Beyonce owned a Python snake alongside her cousin.
She named it Fendi and slept next to it.
