After her daughter Beyonce wrapped up her hugely successful Renaissance Tour, Tina Knowles revealed her daughter can be “mean” during quick costume changes.
The tour – which reportedly grossed a whopping $4.5 billion – lasted from May to August and shattered box office records in several locations.
Tina, 69, appeared on Sherri’s Halloween episode, where she admitted Beyoncé could get “really mean” during quick costume changes.
“I said, ‘Girl, you’re getting real mean there,’ and I’m really glad I don’t have to be there anymore,” Tina said of Sherri.
The mother also revealed that her daughter had more than 100 costumes that she didn’t wear during the successful Renaissance Tour.

“We laughed because she did ‘Flaws and All.’ She’d say, ‘I’m a (b***h) in the morning,’ and I’ll say, ‘and at night too!'” Tina said.
But as things got heated backstage, Beyonce always apologized for the things she said in the heat of the intense moment.
“She’ll say, ‘Mommy, I’m so sorry,’ and I’ll say, ‘I know.’ Sometimes she would cry, and I would think, ‘She was crying because she knows she just said crazy things to us,'” Tina admitted.
“But that’s the hottest part of the day because you’re trying to put on your shoes and everyone’s waiting, and if someone messes up or loses the shoes, then you’ve ruined the whole show. So I understand,” Tina added.
Tina also revealed that Beyonce, ‘I wanted to have more than one stylist, and I actually hired four people. It would have been impossible (with just one).
“We had over 600 costumes to choose from, and so she still has maybe 150 costumes that she doesn’t have… But every night she made at least five, four to five new costumes,” Tina added.
She also joked that she should have hired some of Queen Bey’s fans because she was impressed with the clothes the fans came to the show wearing.
“I look at the audience, I’ve been to probably 40 of the 56 shows, and every night I see the most amazing costumes,” Tina began.
