Tina Knowles shows she is the actual mama bear when protecting her family. The matriarch of the Knowles-Carter dynasty had a subtle but fierce response of her own to Kanye West’s recent comments about Beyoncé and JAY-Z and their family, and she delivered it like only she can channel a sense of humor but also a commanding statement of faith.
On Wednesday (19 Mar), Tina Knowles shared a brief but pointed video on Instagram that appeared to respond to West’s incendiary remarks. The clip came with its playful joke: “What do snowmen do when they throw a tantrum? He has a meltdown.”
Light though this may seem, the timing of the post brooked no doubt that this was a sly reference to West’s recent social media crack-ups, in which he trolled Beyoncé and JAY-Z’s twins, Rumi and Sir Carter.
Tina didn’t stop there. In the caption, she let it be known that she would be standing her ground in the wake of negativity: “It’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil. But I know that no weapon that is formed against me or my family shall prosper. The battle is not mine, but that of the Lord. I know God has got this.”
Making headlines this week for upsetting Beyoncé and JAY-Z with a string of inflammatory tweets about their children, West has built a career on shock, with his loose-cannon comments making rarified news at various intervals in his two-decade-plus career. Beyond attacking Beyoncé’s musicianship, he brazenly insulted their twins’ cognitive development, using profane language to describe him, and asserted that Beyoncé had her twins via In Vitro fertilization IV.
Perhaps his most inflammatory statement was his assertion that “having r** children is a choice” if artificial insemination is used. The comments were so shocking that fans and the general public were hit with the backfire instantly, which goes with their offense and insensitivity levels.
First, West removed his tweets but reposted them later, saying he was sorry for deleting them and felt JAY-Z pressured him to take them down. The fallout was immediate, with many calling him out for crossing such a significant line.
The response to West was swift and furious, and Beyoncé quickly landed in the trending topics on social media. Fans defended the superstar couple’s right to privacy about their children and promptly reminded naysayers of the scrutiny they had faced.
Others cited the constant critique Beyoncé and JAY-Z faced when their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, was a baby, particularly concerning the mean-spirited, needless remarks about her hair.
Tina Knowles stayed classy but made sure everyone understood that she was not here for any disrespect toward her family. With a single funny joke and a strong statement of faith, let the world know she’s standing tall and unedited.
As for Kanye West, that latest dustup is blowing over as the man throws out some crazy comments, but if Tina’s reaction is any indication, the Knowles-Carter clan is sailing along with poise, fortitude, and some much-appreciated levity.
