The 61 year old mother of super start artiste, Beyonce is on the front cover of U.S top magazine,Ebony.In her interview with the magazine she revealed that she not on Beyonce's payroll.

Here is an excerpt from Ebony Magazine:

"But Knowles Lawson also matter-of-fact shares that she is not—and has never been—a kept woman. She’s on no one’s payroll, thank you, and she wants it that way.
Beyoncé certainly doesn’t pay her, at least not in cash. The breathtakingly gorgeous grandmother does Pilates five days a week and has a ravishing body ; is in talks for a TV show about “getting your groove back;” does a daily morning prayer; works with charities to support the homeless; and is a self-taught, avid Black art collector and historian (who owns originals from greats such as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett and John Biggers).
But this is all her new life. In her old one, crafted out of poverty, she made sandwiches and dresses to sell to classmates, rode motorcycles without a helmet, became a professional makeup artist at 19, and always did—as in did everyone’s hair.
Sure, she’s what magazines call “sexy at any age” because of that tight waist, but arguably, it’s as much due to her natural-born artisan and rebel soul."
