I don’t know what it’s about Ms. Tina Knowles—AKA Mama Tina AKA Beyoncé and Solange’s mom—that makes her such a pleasure, however she is. Maybe it’s as a result of scrolling by way of her Instagram lets you recognize, definitively, that she’s the one working the account. Or that she appears so down-to-earth that you simply wouldn’t thoughts hanging out along with her. No matter it’s, Mama Tina pops out and in as wanted, and if there’s one factor she doesn’t play about, it’s her household. In that function, she is all the time keen to let off a shot or two, gracefully and with class, in fact, on whomever could also be coming for her household.
Contemplating that her daughter is indisputably one of the well-known individuals on the planet, the variety of individuals taking photographs at Queen Bey and her household has by no means been low. Simply prior to now few weeks, as an illustration, nation music artist Gavin Adcock got here for Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” venture as a result of he was upset that his album was sitting behind hers on some charts—bitter grapes and all. Simply yesterday, Nicki Minaj got here for all method of oldsters related to Jay-Z, who, as you recognize, is the husband of Beyoncé, and arguably one in all, if not the, GOAT rappers. For those who come for Jay, you would possibly as nicely be coming for Bey. And once more, Mama Tina don’t play about her household.
Whereas one can by no means be solely certain who Mama Tina is speaking about when she begins tossing shade at individuals, since she hardly ever names names, you possibly can, although, ensure that if people are speaking, the shade might be tossed.
On an Instagram account known as thecarters08, which is a web page devoted to all issues Beyoncé and Jay-Z (The Carters)—the 08 being a reference to 2008, after they have been married; the web page actually is sort of a photobook for his or her household—whoever runs the account posted a video of Beyoncé speaking about how fortunate she is to have her mom round when she’s feeling misplaced.
The caption on that publish reads, “it feels good to get up realizing my favs didn’t lose their minds. like some individuals. y’all have an important day, keep in mind to disregard the ignorance as @mstinaknowles would say.” Now, one can seemingly surmise that given the timing, the publish is each devoted to and about Nicki Minaj, who went on a posting spree on X about Jay for numerous causes. Nicki Minaj had some issues to get off her chest, as she does once in a while. For the report, there isn’t a clear indication that Nicki Minaj has any points with Beyoncé, however having a difficulty along with her husband might be the identical factor.
Anyway, Mama Tina follows this account (I checked) and determined that it was a worthwhile publish to repost to her 4.2 million followers (I’m one). So she did.
“It’s really easy to get confused, and it’s really easy to get misplaced and simply be so sad. And I’ve had moments the place I simply felt prefer it was an excessive amount of, you recognize. It’s not like I haven’t been by way of it. However I’m all the time capable of get again to myself due to you and due to the profound girl that you’re, it’s due to you. It’s due to you. It’s due to you,” shared Beyoncé in a clip of a convo along with her mom that I can’t place that I’m certain even novice Beyhive members can pinpoint. What level precisely Mama Tina is making with the clip, solely she is aware of. Heck, possibly she simply liked the clip. However everyone knows the place there’s smoke, there’s hearth. And Mama Tina likes to fan the flames right here and there.
Gracefully, although, and with class.
