THE RUNDOWN
- Tina Knowles made rare comments about Beyoncé.
- The star’s mother seemed to be comparing her to other unnamed performers.
- The remarks included her reflection on the music industry.
On Saturday, Tina Knowles shared a long tribute to her daughter, Beyoncé, posting some of her thoughts about the Renaissance singer’s long career and how she reached her icon status. The caption accompanied a montage of Beyoncé’s performances over the years from her childhood up to her recent Cowboy Carter tour.
“This is bittersweet! The reenactment of her speech and twirl,” Knowles wrote. “Yes, her career has come full circle from that moment, when she won her first ‘Peoples Workshop award’ to her doing it on her sold out concert tour in Houston. She thanked her parents and Houston!”
Knowles did not name any names, but as she continued, she seemed to allude to other stars of the industry who did not conduct themselves the way her daughter has in her eyes.
“As a Kid with big dreams, She made a commitment to work hard! Polish her craft, take vocal lessons, dance lessons, sacrifice, focus, train, and mind her own damn business and does not mess with anybody,” Knowles stated. “She sticks close to her family. She never gossiped or put anybody else down, to make herself feel better.”
She continued, “She was inspired and respectful and paid homage to those great artists that came before her. She gave back to her community. She has never used someone else’s name to get publicity or attention for herself. No one lives rent free in her head because she is obsessed with them or jealous of them.”
The praise continued, with Knowles asserting that Beyoncé has always been supportive of others and unlikely to share negative comparisons or start feuds.
“She has also NEVER constantly criticized other’s looks, talent, and character. Has never lied on, or started false rumors about others, has never started one-sided beefs with anyone, to get her name on mainstream media outlets or be relevant or in the current news,” Knowles added. “She chose to rely on her talent and hard work and her own name. But if she has helped you stay relevant or to get your name in the press. I’m very happy she could help you. You’re welcome! God bless You🙏🏽 Ps. if you haven’t done any of these things, then this does not apply to you. But if the shoe fits, I’m sure we will be hearing from you.😆 10,9,8,7,6,5 ,4 ,3 ,2,1.”
