[artist id="1236911"]Beyoncé[/artist] is killing the game again, but this time it's herself -- or at least her alter ego.

"Sasha Fierce is done. I killed her," B said in a recent interview with Allure magazine.

Of course, the singer created her alter ego Sasha Fierce in an effort to separate her own shy personality from her stage persona and give herself the courage to be free and sexy while performing. Beyoncé even went so far as to name-check the alter ego on her last album, I Am ... Sasha Fierce. The LP was split into two physical CDs and two genres. The I Am ... side held pop songs like "If I Were a Boy" while Sasha Fierce boasted urban chic like "Video Phone," B's first duet with [artist id="3061469"]Lady Gaga[/artist].

Now the singer says that she's comfortable enough with herself to be all of those things without an alias.

"I don't need Sasha Fierce anymore, because I've grown and now I'm able to merge the two," she explained.

In fact, the singer/songwriter/actress admitted that she's currently taking a career break after the conclusion of her world tour in Trinidad this month, adding she'd like "to paint and cook and to do Broadway shows and museums. And learn just to be at home and just watch television."

Though Mrs. Carter is eyeing a vacation, she's still got two new videos on the way -- one with pop powerhouse Lady Gaga for "Video Phone" and one for [article id="1631991"]Alicia Keys' "Put It in a Love Song,"[/article] so we won't miss her for long.
