Tina Knowles is not afraid of defending her girls against online haters. Now, the Mama Cub is coming to the defense of her daughter Beyonce against accusations of appropriating African culture for her upcoming “Black Is King,” which follows her 2019 record “The Lion King: The Gift.”
Miss Tina reposted a screenshot of a tweet on her Instagram that read: “Lmao the annoying thing about the capitalist argument with Beyonce is Lemonade, her ‘black’ album, is one of her lowest-selling albums so if we’re talking profit, she wouldn’t continue to make music highlighting blackness if it was solely for profit.” She captioned her post, “Thank you I could not have said it better. It’s really sad that the women who shout the loudest the ‘protect the black woman’ that they are the ones that are trying to tear her down. Sisters wake up!!!!”
She continued on by saying that her daughter was raised to embrace her fellow women in every way, as opposed to criticizing them.
Beyonce was taught from a little girl to lift other women up not to tear them down. She minds her own business, does not criticize anyone, Gives of her time and money, and dedicates her art to Boldly show the Royalty and beauty of our heritage and journey! Her work is to change the narrative! To show that we did not start off as slaves, but that we were kings and queens before we were forced into slavery. Don’t you want to see something that shows that! Aren’t you sick and tired Of seeing us as slaves !”
“Black Is King” pays homage to African tradition and culture in the tale of a young king on the path to self-identity.
She wrapped up the lengthy post with, “I have one question for you too that I’m confused about ‘how do you appropriate the black culture when you are black??’ She has a right to her heritage as well as anyone else in the world. Just consider young sisters i love you ❤❤ and brothers thankyou for your balance and speaking up. ❤”
