While speaking to People on Monday (Oct. 27) at the 27th Annual Angel Ball in New York City, the designer recalled the sweet way her two daughters cheered her up just before she had her procedure late last year to remove a tumor in her left breast. “Right before I was wheeled in to get the surgery, my girls sang a gospel song,” Knowles shared.
The mogul went on to reveal that the tune her two girls sang was called “Walk With Me,” which “I absolutely love,” Knowles said.
Bey and Solange also had their mom going into surgery in good spirits by showing her the highly quotable viral video of TikToker Jools Lebron reminding followers to always be “very demure, very mindful.”
“There was this woman who was saying, ‘You have to be demure,’ and they just kept saying this and showing me that video,” Knowles told the publication. “I went in there laughing and feeling so blessed — like everything was going to be OK. And it was. It so warms my heart.”
The Cécred cofounder has been open about her journey fighting cancer, both in interviews and in her April memoir, Matriarch. She’s also previously shared how present her daughters were throughout the process, writing in her book, “My girls became my team.”
“[Beyoncé] took it well, staying positive … I could already feel her mind racing, focusing on this as a task to tackle with precision,” Knowles also recalled in Matriarch of telling her daughters about her breast cancer diagnosis.
In an interview with People around the time the book came out, Knowles emphasized the importance of never skipping mammogram appointments. “You cannot play around with that,” she said. “I think as women, sometimes we get so busy, and we get so wrapped up and running around, but you must go get your test. Because if I had not gotten my test early, I mean, I shudder to think what could have happened to me.”
