Tina Knowles Responds to Kanye West’s Controversial Remarks

Tina Knowles, mother of Beyoncé, has recently addressed the fallout from Kanye West’s pointed comments regarding the children of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. West made headlines this week when he launched a series of controversial posts on X (formerly Twitter), speculating about the couple’s parenting and the circumstances of their children’s conception.

Kanye West’s Posts Stir Controversy

In a flurry of posts, West referenced rumors that suggested Beyoncé and Jay-Z conceived their seven-year-old twins via in vitro fertilization. He controversially stated, “Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s younger kids they’re r*******.” By making comments that questioned their children’s cognitive abilities, he escalated an already heated narrative.

West’s barrage continued with a series of tweets, including one that declared, “Fuck those k*** ass n***** and their entire families,” which was later followed by another tweet explaining why he had initially deleted his first post: “I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s family down […] because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled, not because I’m a good person.”

Tina Knowles’ Subtle Response

In the wake of West’s comments, Knowles turned to her Instagram, initially sharing a light-hearted joke to diffuse tension. The joke asked, “What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown.” However, Knowles’ caption contained a much more serious undertone, as she addressed the negativity directed at her family. She stated, “Corny joke, time! it’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil. But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper. This battle is not mine, but the Lord’s, I know that God has got this.”

While the original caption has since been altered and several comments removed, its message of resilience and faith amidst challenges was clear.

Public Responses Continue to Evolve

Although neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z have publicly commented on West’s remarks, Knowles’ statement reflects a broader understanding of the importance of family and strength in the face of adversity. Meanwhile, Kanye West has yet to respond to Knowles’ Instagram post.

Upcoming Memoir Tour

Besides addressing the recent controversy, Tina Knowles has announced her upcoming memoir, Matriarch: A Memoir, which will be on tour next month. Tickets for the U.S. dates are set to go on sale shortly, with additional details to be announced for a single UK date as well.

As this situation develops, the support of Knowles for her family remains apparent amidst the public scrutiny they face.
