Beyoncé's Mother Defends Singer Against Skin Lightening Criticism

“Tina Knowles, the mother of global icon Beyoncé, has fiercely defended her daughter against critics who insinuated that the singer had lightened her skin for the premiere of her film ‘Renaissance.’ The controversy ignited as Beyoncé showcased a stunning platinum blonde hair look and donned a silver dress at the red carpet event.

Taking to Instagram, Tina Knowles labeled those making such claims as ‘sad little haters’ and condemned the comments as not only unfounded but also racist. In her impassioned post, Tina criticized the accusers, describing them as ‘stupid,’ ‘ignorant,’ and ‘self-hating.’ She took a stand against the absurdity of the allegations, pointing out that the film’s theme was centered around silver, reflected in Beyoncé’s hair, attire, and even the carpet.

Tina’s Instagram post featured a video montage of Beyoncé, including moments from the film premiere, set to the backdrop of Beyoncé’s empowering song ‘Brown Skin Girl.’ Released in 2019 as part of ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ soundtrack, the track celebrates blackness and features her daughter Blue Ivy singing affirming lyrics like ‘Brown skin girl, your skin just like pearls, the best thing in the world.’

The post has garnered significant attention, accumulating over 250,000 likes since being shared on Tuesday night. Tina Knowles, aged 69, expressed her weariness with continuous attacks on her daughter, emphasizing Beyoncé’s commitment to minding her own business, helping others, and promoting black women and underdogs.

While acknowledging that Beyoncé might be annoyed by her post, Tina shared that she was ‘fed up’ with the persistent criticism. She defended Beyoncé’s character, highlighting her positive contributions and the artist’s dedication to uplifting and promoting marginalized voices.

‘Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,’ chronicling the world tour of her Grammy-winning album, premiered in Los Angeles on Saturday and is set for a global cinema release on Friday. The album, marking Beyoncé’s return to solo projects after a six-year hiatus, received acclaim for its fusion of black and queer influences, quickly reaching number one upon its release.”

Beyoncé’s mother criticized remarks suggesting the singer lightened her skin, which were sparked by Beyoncé’s appearance with platinum blonde hair at her film premiere.
