In a powerful and poised response, Tina Knowles, mother of global superstar Beyoncé, has addressed Kanye West’s recent social media rant targeting her daughter and son-in-law’s 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir Carter.
The incident unfolded after Kanye took to X on Tuesday, posting a now-deleted message that questioned the existence and mental capacity of the twins. His post read, “Wait, has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s younger kids?”—a remark that sparked widespread backlash and concern.
Tina Knowles did not hold back in her response, taking to Instagram on Wednesday to share a video that directly addressed the situation. In the clip, she delivered a pointed message, emphasizing the difficulty of maintaining grace in the face of negativity. “It’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil,” she stated, her words resonating with strength and resilience.
She expressed her unwavering faith, adding, “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.”
In addition to her heartfelt message, Tina lightened the tone with what she described as a “corny joke,” seemingly directed at Kanye. While she didn’t explicitly name him, the timing and context of her post made it clear that her remarks were in response to his controversial statements. Her ability to balance humor with a firm stance on protecting her family showcased her trademark poise and strength.
Kanye’s now-deleted post had raised eyebrows across social media, with many fans and critics alike condemning his decision to target young children. Rumi and Sir, born in 2017, have largely been kept out of the public eye by their parents, who are known for fiercely protecting their children’s privacy.
Kanye’s comments not only crossed a line but also reignited discussions about the boundaries of public discourse, especially when it involves minors.
Tina’s response, however, has been widely praised for its grace and dignity. She demonstrated the importance of rising above negativity by leaning on her faith and refusing to engage in a direct feud.
Her message also served as a reminder of the strength of the Knowles-Carter family, who have consistently navigated challenges with resilience and unity.
