On Wednesday, March 19th, Tina Knowles took to Instagram with a lighthearted joke, but her message seemed to address the underlying tension surrounding her family. Knowles, known for her protective stance when it comes to her children and grandchildren, made her post while on set for a photoshoot promoting her book. She shared a humorous moment with her 4.1 million followers, asking, “What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum?” before answering, “He has a meltdown,” followed by a small laugh and the note, “Y’all know that’s funny.”
A Strong Response to Online Drama
While the joke brought some levity, the caption of her post was far more serious, suggesting Knowles had something more to say. She wrote, “Corny joke, time! It’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil,” followed by red heart and praying hand emojis. She concluded the message with a powerful reminder of her faith: “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.”
Addressing Ye’s Controversial Comments
Knowles’ post came just hours after Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, posted a controversial tweet about her grandchildren, Rumi and Sir Carter. In his now-deleted tweet, Ye made unverified claims about the twins, questioning why Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children are rarely seen in public. He also made a disparaging remark about their mental capabilities, which sparked outrage. Ye deleted the tweet soon after, admitting he had removed it to avoid losing access to his X (formerly Twitter) account.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Privacy Stance
For years, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have remained fiercely protective of their children’s privacy. While their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, 13, has occasionally stepped into the spotlight with red carpet appearances and performances, Rumi and Sir, 7, have remained largely out of the public eye. This commitment to shielding their children from the media’s scrutiny has made them the subject of speculation and criticism, particularly from Ye. However, neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z have responded to his comments.
