Tina Knowles appears to have hit back at Kanye West‘s recent posts about Beyoncé and Jay-Z‘s children.
The rapper launched an online attack against the children of the couple on X/Twitter earlier this week. In a series of posts, Ye fuelled rumours that the couple used vitro fertilisation to conceive their seven-year-old twins, before throwing their cognitive development into question.
“Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s younger kids they’re r*******,” he wrote (via The Independent). “No like literally and this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing having r******* children is a choice.”
He took down the post before re-sharing and making another seven posts about the couple in less than 30 minutes, including a tweet that said “Fuck those k*** ass n***** and their entire families” and another which said: “Concerning the Jay Z and Beyoncé tweet n***** said I would regret it… I regret taking it down… my Twitter is a one way conversation.”
Addressing why he removed the initial post, he shared a tweet that read: “I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay Z and Beyoncé’s family down […] because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled, not because I’m a good person.”
Beyoncé’s mother has since taken to her Instagram page and appeared to initially lighten the mood by sharing one of her “corny joke” posts.
In the video she said: “What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown.”
But in the caption, Knowles appeared to hit back at West, writing: “Corny joke, time! it’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil. But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper. This battle is not mine, but the Lords, I know that God has got this.”
The caption has since been changed and most of her comments removed from the post on her Instagram page.
Neither, Beyoncé nor Jay-Z have publicly responded to the comments made by West on X. West is also yet to publicly respond to Knowles’ post.
Elsewhere, Knowles yesterday (March 19) announced that she is set to take her new memoir Matriarch: A Memoir, on tour next month.
