Without that Spice GirlsMaybe we’ve never had “single ladies” or one of them Beyoncé‘s other hit singles.

In a new interview with Dear Media’s Breaking Beauty podcast, Posh Spice himself, aka Victoria Beckhamsaid that Beyoncé once told her that British pop stars “inspired” her to pursue her dreams.

“I met Beyoncé a few years ago and she actually said to me, ‘It was the Spice Girls who inspired me and made me do what I do and made myself proud to be a girl I’m proud to be who I am, “she recalled. “And when someone like Beyoncé, who is so iconic and such a strong woman, says she was inspired by the Spice Girls, I think that’s very special.”

Victoria noted that she and the rest of the Spice Girls didn’t apologize for who they are, and it was part of what made them so successful.
