Beyoncé Says She's 'So Proud' of Her Mother Tina Knowles After Book Becomes New York Times Bestseller


On Weds., April 30, Beyoncé shared an Instagram post congratulating her mother Tina Knowles for making the 'New York Times' bestseller list. Her book 'Matriarch' was released on April 22.

Beyoncé, 43, captioned the post, alongside an image of the book and the text "MATRIARCH is officially a New York Times Bestseller." In an interview with PEOPLE for the World's Most Beautiful issue, Knowles, 71, revealed her initial hesitations to even write a book. "I started, probably about 12 years ago, just recording my story, which I think everyone should do, for my great grandchildren, because for some reason, I just started thinking about the fact that I never met my grandparents and the history that I gathered for my mom," she said of her late mother Agnes Buyincé (their surnames differ due to a hospital clerical error when Knowles was born.)
