Tina Knowles speaks out after Kanye West’s disturbing attack on Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s kids
Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, has returned to social media following Kanye West’s attack on her grandchildren in a vile and unprovoked rant.
Earlier this week, the disgraced rapper, 47, questioned the mental capacity of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, in a disturbing post shared on X.
After deleting his initial post, the 24-time Grammy winner reposted the vile comments on Elon Musk’s platform.
On Wednesday, Knowles shared a video of herself telling a “corny joke” on Instagram.
“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,” Knowles, 71, posted.
“This battle is not mine, but the Lord’s, I know that God has got this.”
In his tirade on social media, West — who shares four children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian — further claimed that Beyoncé and Jay-Z used In vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive their youngest children.
After deleting the post, the rapper emphasized that he didn’t remove it to be “a good person.”
“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 [sic],” he wrote.
After making a series of new antisemitic comments on X later Wednesday, Ye turned his attention back to the “99 Problems” rapper, 55, and the “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” singer, 43.
The “Jesus Walks” rapper — who now goes by Ye — admitted he felt “bad” after the unwarranted attack on the couple’s children.
“I LOVE JAY Z AND I DO FEEL BAD,” Ye began, seemingly walking back his prior attacks. “I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE BLACK SHEEP LIKE I WANTED FAMILY IN THIS MUSIC S–T.”
“I’D RUN ON STAGES THINKING I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING AND WOULD ALWAYS BE A SLIGHT HOV NOT COMING TO MY FIRST WEDDING,” he added, possibly alluding to his storming onstage and stealing the mic from Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs.
His later posts also took aim at Jay-Z, who sometimes goes by ‘HOV,’ short for ‘HOVA,’ and Beyoncé’s decision to skip out on West’s wedding to Kim Kardashian in 2014.
West then slammed Jay-Z for ignoring several requests to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
“HIM PUTTING KENDRICK [Lamar] ON THE SUPERBOWL OVER ME OR EVEN US NEVER BEING INVITED TO S—T TAKING [sic] JABS ABOUT MY RED HAT ON DONDA.”
In 2019, Jay-Z signed a partnership with the NFL to produce the Super Bowl halftime performances. The Roc Nation founder tapped Kendrick Lamar to perform at the 2025 show.
The music mogul, who has been married to Beyoncé since 2008, has also been critical of West’s support of President Trump, who has become synonymous with his red “Make America Great Again” hats that Ye has famously worn.
“I FELT LIKE BOTH HIM AND HIS WIFE COULD HAVE HELPED ME HAVE MORE LEVERAGE WITH MY KIDS,” West went on. “THEY COULD HAVE USED THEIR CULTURAL POSITION TO NOT JUST WATCH THE KARDASHIANS RUN ME OVER.”
“S—T HURTS SO F—K BOTH OF THEM CAUSE WHEN I NEEDED THEM IT WAS F—K ME,” he concluded.
West later called out the “’03 Bonnie & Clyde” hitmakers for their lack of help in getting him “leverage” against his now-ex-wife in regards to their four kids: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5.
“S–T HURTS SO F–K BOTH OF THEM CAUSE WHEN I NEEDED THEM IT WAS F–K ME,” West added.
West and Jay-Z previously boasted a close friendship for years, and even collaborated on the 2011 album “Watch the Throne.”
But the duo had a major falling-out in 2016 after West publicly criticized Jay-Z for not checking on his family after Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris.
