  • Beyoncé has been labeled a perfectionist by fans, collaborators, and herself throughout her career.
  • So much so, that claims have surfaced online that the singer is spending thousands on personal toilet seats.

Everyone knows Beyoncé is a perfectionist — she's even said so herself.

And during her Renaissance World Tour, the 41-year-old multihyphenate and Virgo — this is important, as those with the astrological sign are labeled perfectionists— has given fans multiple examples showcasing her attention to detail.

On TikTok, eagle-eyed fans have spotted instances of Queen Bey, mid-performance, appearing to throw shady glances at her crew when something unintended happens onstage. These videos are often accompanied by the caption "Somebody's getting fired," an homage to the time she sang the words onstage during a performance of her song, fittingly titled "Diva," years ago.

However, the idea that she's so much of a perfectionist that she's lugging personal toilet seats around while jet-setting across the world for her monthslong tour? That's "ridiculous," her mother, Tina Knowles, told TMZ.

The claim that the singer spent thousands of dollars to make sure she never had to sit on a used toilet seat came after the British tabloid "The Sun" published an article about it, basing it off an anonymous source and photos of a black box with the label "toilet seats."

"Those are stands that she puts fans on," Knowles claimed to TMZ. "They're called 'toilet seats.'"

Knowles did not expand on whether or not she meant fans, as in supporters, or the types of fans that produce air currents. Bey, however, has been known to place fans for air on various parts of the stage during her performances.

Knowles also did not expand on why exactly they were called toilet seats.

Reps for Beyoncé and Knowles did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Besides, with "Renaissance," Beyoncé said in a lengthy Instagram post in June of last year that she's using her music to escape the perfectionism she's dealt with all her life. And being picky about toilet seats would probably not help with that goal.

"My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment," she wrote. "A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. "
