Tina Knowles Reveals Daughter Solange’s Conception Story on the Nile River

Tina Knowles, mother of Grammy Award-winning singer Solange, recently revealed a surprising detail about her daughter’s conception. In a podcast interview with Vogue, Tina shared the story of how Solange came into the world during a steamy African vacation that expanded the family.

According to Tina, she and her ex-husband Mathew Knowles found themselves in Egypt where they conceived Solange. Tina was convinced they were having a boy, but when Solange was born, it turned out that the French baby name book she had bought in Paris years earlier came in handy.

This revelation adds an interesting twist to the family’s history, as Solange herself has previously spoken about her parents’ love story and the significance of her conception in Egypt. In a 2017 interview, Solange mentioned how her parents discovered they conceived her in Egypt after visiting the Giza pyramids, connecting it to the constellation of Orion that aligns with Giza.

The story has also inspired Beyoncé, Solange’s older sister, who collaborated with Kendrick Lamar on a track titled “Nile” for her 2019 album “The Lion King: The Gift.” The song pays homage to the family’s connection to the river in Egypt.

Overall, the revelation about Solange’s conception on the Nile River adds a unique and intriguing layer to the family’s history, showcasing the deep connections and inspirations that have shaped their lives and music.
