So! Rumours that Beyoncé has a burner Instagram account have been rife for years now. But, no matter how hard they try, fans haven’t yet been able to locate it.

I mean, just imagine it. Beyoncé, sat at home, feet up on the couch, gleefully scrolling through all of our Instagram pages on this secret account and laughing at us because we can’t figure it out. We are clowns!
But recently, fans got a little excited when a video of Beyoncé’s mom, Ms Tina Lawson, appeared online, seeming to reveal that the iconic legend herself had been using her secret Instagram to brush up on her cooking skills.
“Beyoncé really has been cooking a lot of great stuff on Instagram,” Tina said in an Instagram Live. “She needs to have a cooking show.”

I mean, can you imagine it?! Bey just on the ‘gram, cooking up a storm? I want to follow that Instagram account immediately! And I guess you could say fans were lowkey losing their minds over this brand new information.
@princessxtrin_ Folks are so focused on the cooking and not on this secret IG Beyoncé has?
I BEG YOUR FUCKING PARDON BEYONCÉ BEEN COOKING ON INSTAGRAM????? SHE HAS A CLOSE FRIENDS LIST??? BEYONCÉ CAN COOK??????????
But there was one key piece of information that fans couldn’t quite shake. Beyoncé herself even admits it. She can’t cook.
@Vuvuyonce @princessxtrin_ @NajlaAgain It has to… Beyoncé does a lot of things except cooking.

Yes, there is indeed one (1) thing our collective fave cannot do. “I look like I can’t cook,” Bey once said. “That’s accurate.”
So what did Ms Tina mean?! I went investigating, which basically means I delved a little deeper into Twitter to get the true tea. And what do you know! We’ve been deceived!
The video has actually been cropped at just the right moment, meaning we miss Tina saying “Angie Beyoncé”. In fact, she’s not even saying Beyoncé. She’s saying “Angie Beyince”. Confused? Allow me to explain.
Angela Beyince is apparently the Vice President of Operations at Bey’s company, Parkwood Entertainment. She also happens to be Beyoncé’s cousin.
And sure enough, Angela Beyince has indeed been cooking on Instagram.
But what did Ms Tina actually say about Beyoncé’s cooking? Well…absolutely nothing, and the subtle shade is making me choke.
Talking about how her kids can cook, Tina name-dropped Solange, as well as Kelly Rowland and Angie…but no mention of Beyoncé at all. I think that says all we need to know!
E!
So, there you have it. No secret Beyoncé cooking show will be hitting our screens anytime soon. I’ll leave you to mourn in peace!
