Tina Knowles, Pop superstar Beyonce’s mother has been spotted in Ghana after her photo with an airport staff surfaced online, heightening rumours that Beyonce could already be in Ghana.
The singer’s coming supposedly has nothing to do with music and everything to do with the Year of Return and its Full Circle celebrations, aimed to support cultural ownership, economic collaboration in Africa and building bridges between Africans on the continent and in the diaspora.

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter was first reported to be coming to the country with her husband Jay Z in January 2019.
This was after the first Full Circle Festival was held on December 31, 2018, and attended by the couple’s friend, Boris Kodjoe, his wife and 40 other African American Hollywood stars.
