Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, has responded with grace and faith after Kanye West made shocking allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s younger children, implying they have Down syndrome, retarded and using offensive language to describe them.
In a now-deleted post, Kanye wrote:
“WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ’S YOUNGER KIDS? THEY’RE RETARDED. NO LIKE LITERALLY. AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IS SUCH A BLESSING. HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE.”
He later admitted to deleting the post, not out of remorse, but due to fear of his Twitter account being canceled.
Tina Knowles took to social media to address the situation, choosing not to engage in direct confrontation but instead affirming her family’s strength and faith.
She wrote:
“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 Lord’s. I know that God has got this.”
Her response has been praised by fans and celebrities alike, with many commending her for handling the situation with dignity rather than fueling further controversy.
This is not the first time Kanye has stirred controversy with his remarks, but targeting children has led to widespread backlash. Neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z has publicly commented on the situation.
