Beyoncé’s uncle Rowland Martin Buyince has passed away at the age of 77, as confirmed by a social media post from the superstar’s mother, Tina Knowles. Known affectionately as Butch, he was a career Airforce man with a passion for motorcycles and a black belt in karate. Described as a great storyteller with striking green eyes and good looks, Butch leaves behind his wife Jeanette, daughter Dana, and two grandchildren, Yvette and Roland.
The news of Butch's passing comes shortly after Tina, Beyoncé, and Solange attended the Luar fashion show in New York, where Tina proudly watched her grandson Julez Smith Jr. walk the runway. Beyoncé, who recently released new country songs, sported an embellished cowboy hat at the event, showcasing her evolving musical style.
