Beyonce's Caribbean heritage

We are sure that most of you have already heard this, but we thought we would share anyway. Does Beyonce hail from a Caribbean heritage, mixed with Creole?

Now, where does it all come from and who gave her what. Let's dig in shall we and discover Beyonce. From her mother, she received the Creole heritage. Creole is a mix of French, African and Caribbean cultures, it can be found anywhere in the world, but predominates in the Caribbean. Beyonce however, received it from Louisiana, the most popular of creole cultures in the United States. Tina Knowles parents were both born in Louisiana and so were their parents (seriously deep creole roots). 

Meanwhile, on her father's side of the fence flows the Caribbean waters....or so any Bahamian would claim. Based on the Bahamian last name "Knowles", it is widely speculated that Beyonce from her father's side could have roots in the Caribbean. However, Mr. Knowles have since denied that, as he is not aware of any direct or indirect family links to the island. 

How sad, we were actually hoping to claim the singer as a pumpkin-vine descendant of the Caribbean. However, this is mostly speculation and has yet to be proven. Until then, let's keep enjoying her hit music and being snooping around her personal life in search of entertainment shall we, lol.
