Tina, who was honored with the inaugural Mother of the Year award for her role in raising two influential daughters—Beyoncé, 43, and Solange, 38—gushed about the joy she feels watching them navigate motherhood. “They are always her first priority, no matter what else is going on,” she said, emphasizing the importance of motherhood in their lives.

Reflecting on her own journey, Tina noted, “Mothers often work behind the scenes, doing everything they can to support their children. It’s nice to be recognized for that.” She added, “It never ends, which is the best part. I’m still a mom. I’m 71 years old, and my kids are grown, but they still call me first, and it’s the best feeling in the world.”

In a rare candid interview with GQ Magazine, Beyoncé opened up about how she meticulously manages her schedule around her children, ensuring they are always a part of her life. “My kids come with me everywhere I go. They come to my office after school, and they are in the studio with me,” she explained. “They are in dance rehearsals. It’s natural that they would learn my choreography.”

Beyoncé also emphasized her commitment to providing her children with as much normalcy and privacy as possible, despite their global fame. “One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand,” she shared. “No amount of money is worth my peace.”

On the other hand, Cardi B, a powerhouse in the hip-hop industry, also prioritizes her three children—daughter Kulture, 6, son Wave, 3, and baby Blossom—despite the challenges of balancing a lucrative career. In a recent interview with Vogue Singapore, she candidly discussed the struggles of being a working parent and her decision to forgo hiring a nanny.

Initially, Cardi had planned to employ a nanny to help manage her responsibilities. “Everybody was so nervous for my career and future, but I kept telling them, ‘It’s easy. Trust me, I’m going to have a nanny and she’s going to travel up and down with me. It’s not even going to be a hassle,’” she recalled. However, once her first child was born, her perspective shifted dramatically. “When the baby got here, I couldn’t even think about getting a nanny because I was afraid of anybody being around her besides my family,” Cardi admitted. “I’ve never had a nanny for Kulture.”

Cardi also emphasized the importance of not overwhelming her parents with babysitting duties, acknowledging that they have already raised their children and may not have the same energy as younger caregivers. “I’m never far from my kids because that’s my responsibility as a mother,” she stated.

Looking to the future, Cardi B hopes for her children to become the best versions of themselves. “I want them to do amazing things when they grow up. I want them to be smarter than me—just be the better version of me,” she said, showcasing her aspirations for their success.

In a world where fame often overshadows personal lives, both Tina Knowles and these superstar mothers remind us that love, dedication, and the unwavering bond of family remain the true priorities.
