Tina Knowles, mother of renowned artist Beyoncé, has been vocal on social media and in public discussions recently. Following Beyoncé’s performance during the NFL Christmas Day halftime show, which received mixed reviews, Knowles defended her daughter online, making a strong statement against critics questioning Beyoncé’s talent.
In a recent podcast appearance, Knowles addressed the controversy surrounding her stepsons, Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs, regarding serious allegations of sexual assault. Knowles expressed her protective instincts as a mother, stating that it is challenging to watch false accusations made against her children. She acknowledged that while her children advise her to ignore such negativity, she finds it difficult to do so.
Knowles also clarified the misunderstanding surrounding her social media activity, where she was noted to have liked a post about the allegations against Jay-Z. She explained that this was unintentional and attributed it to the challenges of managing modern technology, particularly for someone of her age. She humorously recounted how she accidentally liked negative comments about her children, prompting her to later remove them upon realizing the mistake.
While not endorsing the accusations made against Jay-Z, Knowles shared practical advice received from him about maintaining proper social media etiquette, encouraging accurate spelling and careful reading before engaging with posts. However, she admitted that her busy schedule often leaves her little time to follow this guidance.
In addition to addressing family matters, Knowles also touched on her passion for fashion, discussing her affinity for cowboy-inspired styles. Drawing from her Texas roots, she reminisced about her love for cowboy attire and how it connects to her history with Destiny’s Child. Despite facing criticism for her fashion choices, she reaffirmed her appreciation for this style, highlighting her pride in her heritage.
