“It’s challenging to stay optimistic and dignified when confronted with ignorance and wickedness,” Tina wrote after West posted a troubling message regarding her grandchildren.
Tina Knowles is voicing her support for her family.
Following Kanye West’s unsettling post concerning Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s twins, Rumi and Sir, who are 7 years old, Tina responded on Instagram the next day with a video.
stated in his now-removed post, “WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER NOTICED JAY Z AND BEYONCE’S YOUNGER CHILDREN,” then proceeded to insult Rumi and Sir’s intelligence with derogatory terms.
Tina subsequently posted a video on Instagram. “Today, I’m at a photoshoot for my book, and I’d like to share a cheesy joke with you,” she mentioned in the video. “What occurs when a snowman has a meltdown?” He experiences a breakdown. “You all know that’s amusing.”
In a previously modified caption on the post, as noted by TMZ and Page Six, she addressed “ignorance and evil” — apparently in direct reaction to West’s comments regarding her grandchildren.
“It’s challenging to stay upbeat and dignified when confronted with ignorance and malevolence.” However, I understand that no weapon created against me or my family will succeed,” she is said to have written.
“This battle isn’t mine; it’s the Lord’s, and I trust that God has this under control,” Tina stated, according to the sources.
After West removed his tweet regarding Rumi and Sir, as reported by Page Six, the “Monster” rapper stated he made this decision because of the “possibility” that his X account might be disabled. The outlet stated he subsequently confessed to feeling “bad” regarding the original post.
Recently, West — known for consistently making antisemitic remarks — has once more posted several antisemitic and homophobic messages on his X account.
Earlier this week, Tina attended the In Charge & The Power of Kindness summit in New York City and discussed several values she aimed to instill in her daughters, Beyoncé and Solange.
“One lesson I imparted to them was that family is a priority.” Your husband and children are your top priority. “And I believe they discovered how to be strong and resilient during difficult times,” she stated. “I’ve experienced numerous difficult moments.” And simply to express their authentic selves without being insincere or false. “I’ve been advocating that since they were young.”
Tina is preparing to publish her memoir, Matriarch, in April. “I believed it was the right moment to share my own narrative,” she stated at the summit. “My family is surrounded by numerous misunderstandings, and I didn’t wish for anyone else to narrate our story.” “I wanted to share it myself.”
