Beyonce New Video 2014: '7/11' Singer Opens Up About Jay Z, Blue Ivy & Discusses Pitfalls of Fame, 'I Sometimes Wish I Could Just Be Anonymous' [VIDEO]
Beyonce is no doubt, one of the biggest stars of the 21st century. Crowned TIME Magazine's most influential person of 2014, the 33-year-old mother, wife and performer has become an icon through her impeccable work. Plus, the life she leads offstage with her husband Jay Z and adorable daughter Blue Ivy catapulted her brand into another world. But, in her new 11 minute visual posted on YouTube hours ago, she admits that fame is not all it is cracked up to be.

"I sometimes wish I could just be anonymous and walk down the street, just like everyone else," Mrs. Carter stated. "Now, that I am famous, I think that it is very difficult to do simple things."
When Beyonce and Jay Z walk outside, 90% of the time, there are cameras, thousands of screaming fans and reporters waiting to literally watch them walk across the street. They truly have no privacy, at this point in their careers. Because they have accomplished so much, the outside world often forgets that their lives are meant to be theirs. Even their most private moments, like the elevator incident that happened this year, have been exposed. But, they are human just like anyone else.

"When you are famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore, you become the property of the public... There's nothing real about it," Beyonce stated. "You can't put your finger on who I am, I can't put my finger on who I am."
For the first time, Beyonce also addresses the death of one of her friends and tour photographers, Yosra El-Essawy. At the end of October, she lost her battle with cancer and it had a profound meaning on the singer's life. "I watched my friends' body deteriorate and to see someone pass on so gracefully put everything into perspective... We do not value ourselves enough," she said.
