ALBAWABA - Tina Knowles defends Beyoncé's twins after Kanye West's controversial remarks.
On March 18, Tina uploaded a video response to Instagram after Kanye West shared a disturbing post about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's 7½-year-old twins, Sir and Rumi, with X.
In his since-deleted post, West wrote, "WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCE'S YOUNGER KIDS," before using derogatory language to cast doubt on Rumi and Sir's mental faculties.
Thereafter, Tina posted a video to Instagram. "So I'm on the set of a photoshoot today for my book, and I wanted to tell you a corny joke," she stated in the video. When a snowman has a tantrum, what happens? He loses it. You all find that amusing.
According to TMZ and the New York Post's Page Six, she denounced "ignorance and evil" in a since-edited caption on the image, presumably in direct response to West's remarks regarding her grandchildren.
"When ignorance and wickedness are present, it can be challenging to maintain composure and style. However, I am certain that no weapon created against me or my family would succeed," she allegedly added.

Tina went on to say, "This battle is not mine, but the Lord's. I know that God has got this," according to the outlets.
The "Monster" rapper admitted that he removed his tweet about Rumi and Sir because of the "possibility" that his X account would be closed, according to Page Six. He then acknowledged feeling "bad" about the first post, according to the outlet.
West, who has a history of making antisemitic remarks, has recently shared a number of homophobic and antisemitic posts on his X account.

Late last week, Tina appeared at the In Charge & The Power of Kindness summit in New York City and spoke about some of the values she worked to instill in her daughters, Beyoncé and Solange.
"One thing I taught them was that family comes first. Your children and husband come first. And I think they learned to be strong and tough through harsh times," she remarked. "I've had many, many rough times. I simply encourage them not to be phony or fake, but to be themselves. Since they were young, I have been preaching that.
Tina is currently preparing for the April release of Matriarch, her memoir. At the summit, she stated, "I felt it was time to tell my story." "I didn't want anyone else to share our story because there are so many false impressions about my family. I wanted to share it with you.
