- Beyoncé and Tina Knowles are very close to each together
- Tina has stood up for her daughter against THESE comments
- It's not the first time they have had to deal with slander
The Queen of Pop dazzled fans with her platinum locks and shimmering silver dress at the Renaissance film premiere, but some social media critics had the audacity to suggest she's lightening her skin! Can you believe it?
Some folks are always a critic
Well, Mama Knowles wasn't having any of it! Tina Knowles, Beyoncé's fierce mama bear, took to Instagram to shut down the "sad little haters" with a fiery post. She called out the comments as "racist," "stupid," and "ignorant," and reminded everyone that her daughter's theme was silver not "trying to be a white woman."
"Is it so hard to grasp the concept of a theme, people?" Tina exclaimed, defending her superstar daughter. She even threw in a video montage featuring Beyoncé's song "Brown Skin Girl". Talk about a mic drop and a half!
The Grammy-winning artist herself has always been a champion for black beauty, making it clear in her music and actions. Remember when she sang about the beauty of brown skin and the importance of representation? That's the Beyoncé we know and love!
"She does a film, called the renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she's trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?" Knowles wrote. "How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy."
Despite the criticism, Tina's clapback post has gone viral, racking up likes and sparking conversations about beauty standards and race. And let's not forget, Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' film is hitting cinemas worldwide, following her world tour that had fans on their feet for a whopping three hours!

Knowles also alleged that "a white woman from TMZ had the audacity to reach out" to one of her daughter's hairstylists "to get a statement" regarding the situation.
The mother of two added that she was "sick and tired" of people "attacking" her oldest child when Beyoncé "minds her own business…helps people whenever she can…lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times."

Her post gained massive support as would be expected. Her fans are a bit of an army after all, and whenever she is attacked, the Knowles family always has the backing of a legion of people. The fact is, Beyoncé has always been more light-skinned than your "traditional black woman", but who cares? She's got it going on...
So, to the naysayers, it's time to recognize the true message behind Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' glow: it's about empowerment, creativity, and celebrating one's roots. Let's leave the skin lightening accusations in the dust and focus on the artistry and the music that brings us all together.
