Beyonce was a mischievous teen, and once tricked her mum into thinking she had her nose pierced.
Knowles family matriarch Tina Knowles banned her daughter from having her ears and nose pierced, but Beyonce was desperate to wear jewellery in her ears - so she had them pierced and then wore a fake nose-stud, to deflect attention from her newly-bejewelled lobes.
And the deception worked.
Beyonce tells Angry Ape, "When I was a teenager, I had five piercings in each ear. I didn't ask my mother's permission and I thought, 'She's gonna kill me', so I got a magnetic stud and put it in my nose.
"My mum freaked when she saw it. She was so happy when I told her it was just a magnet that she didn't care about the earrings!"
But the singer is convinced she experienced instant karma for tricking her mum. She adds, "I did pay for it. My ears felt like they were on fire, so I took them out after two days."
