Share:
Tina Knowles has revealed the advice son-in-law Jay-Z gave her about her social media presence, after her Instagram account appeared to ‘like’ a post about the recent allegations against him. The rapper, real name Shawn Carter, has been accused of raping a girl known only as Jane Doe in 2000, when she was aged 13 – he has fiercely denied all claims.

Shortly after the headlines broke, a screenshot circulated on social media claiming that Beyonce’s mother, 70, had ‘liked’ a post on Instagram about the allegations, after which she claimed that she had been ‘hacked’. During an appearance on the Run-Through with Vogue podcast, she lifted the lid on her online antics, including the tips the 55-year-old offered up.
While she didn’t touch on the incident, or address the allegations, she told the hosts: ‘It’s so funny because you know how many times I’ve liked something that was negative about my own children?. ‘Because if I’m busy and I’m going through the thing, I’m like, “Oh, there’s Beyoncé with so and so.” I like that. And then the fans come back and say, “Miss Tina, please erase that because you’re liking some negative post.” That’s what happens to 70-year-olds on social media. It’s true.

‘I’m always screwing up. I’m doing voice [to text], and I’m country, so my words come out all wrong. Why don’t I go back though? Because I know that it doesn’t understand what I’m saying, and it’s got crazy stuff. ‘My son-in-law, Jay, will say, “Listen, if you’re going to read somebody, at least spell your words right. Don’t misspell your words, Ma. You can’t do that, take your time and go over and spellcheck your stuff!” I don’t have time for that.’.
