Everyone knows Mama Tina don’t play that!
Beyoncé’s mom was quick to defend her superstar daughter after consistently cantankerous conservative commentator Candace Owens shared a report alleging that the Grammy-award-winner was paid a large sum to attend and endorse Kamala Harris during her Houston rally in October.

Owens made an expose report on her Candace Owens podcast account, alleging Beyoncé was paid $10 million to appear at Harris’ rally where she spoke in support of the Democrat. However, Knowles shut the rumor down on Instagram, calling Owens’ story a ”lie” and “fake news.” To prove her point, she attached a photo of the Republican’s expose report that was taken down for a false information violation on the social media platform.
“Sadly other platforms with a lack of integrity still have it up,” the 70-year-old matriarch revealed.
Knowles claimed that the “Texas Hold ‘Em singer” “did not receive a penny” for speaking at Harris’ historic presidential campaign rally. According to the star, “Bey paid for her flights” and for her team to attend the event.
“They are not only lying and disrespecting Beyonce’s name but they are trying to further discredit the power of our vice president! When do the lies and rumors stop? Of course, you won’t see this in the news !!!!!” she added.

“Foremost, Beyoncé needs to stop posting from her burner account,” the right-winged podcaster and conspiracy theorist kicked off her clapback, according to a screenshot shared by The Neighborhood Talk.
“Also this is not the flex she thinks this is. Foremost— my post literally said ‘allegedly’ and named the multiple publications that reported it. They ALL reached out to confirm the alleged amount, multiple times, to both Beyoncé and Kamala campaign and were met with silence,” the infamous star continued.
Owens went on to accuse Beyoncé of using her “hyper-privileged connections at Instagram” to have the post removed.
“People share untrue reports on me all the time— do I call Mark Zuckerberg? Sending your literal mama to defend you as opposed to just responding to journalists asking for answers (like Cardi B did when I asked her) is childish af. Cardi answered immediately and I included her response in my show. Beyoncé has gotten so rich, she’s acting st*pid,” she added.
The controversial media personality’s sharp response drew in a slew of reactions from the BeyHive, Beyoncé’s dedicated fanbase. Many were happy to see Knowles stand up for the famous singer.
“If her mama wants to clear her name then she can, that’s her daughter tf,” wrote one user in the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk’s post. “And if Beyoncé is using her mom’s account to clear her own name then oh well; stop speaking on people.”
Another user penned;
“This is exactly why Beyoncé doesn’t talk to people. Who has time to be going back and forth with Candace Owens? She wants to be accepted so bad by the other side. Ms. Tina did exactly what a mama bear would do. My kid may not say anything but I will.”
A third BeyHiver suggested that Knowles and her daughter take legal action.
“No! She needs to go the HARDEST ON CANDACE. Don’t try to question. Why is she not going after white publications? You want to be white so bad u get handled like them. SUE HER WHERE IT HURTS.”
We didn’t see this one coming.
