“It was a fascinating thing to me because I went out there and it was like a movie set,” said Pranga. “All these people were hired to make this house perfect before they got there for Christmas Eve.”

He shared how he and his team were on a tight time constraint with just the simple direction of making their home a “Christmas in Africa" theme with “beautiful colors and prints.” He revealed that the team had “less than 24 hours to prepare her home.”

“Beyoncé is just a lovely lady. She’s very chill,” explained Pranga. “People are always looking for those wonderful or horrible stories of celebrities.”

“But I get to see these people as people at home,” he simply concluded.
