"Now Im a woman, and because I have it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children."
Beyonc's rapper husband, Jay-Z, recently claimed that his "machine" of a wife was like the second coming of the late Michael Jackson.
The hip-hop superstar told local radio station, 99 Jamz:
"What I've learnt from her is similar to what I learnt from Mike [Jackson] and I know that's blasphemy to compare the two because Mike was such an innovator but I think she's like the second coming.
"It just makes you want to work harder at your own craft. Shes like a machine."
