by

Charles Barkley apologized to Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, for his comments on Galveston, Texas from Saturday night’s Inside the NBA broadcast. During the show, he joked that the New Orleans Pelicans have played so badly that they don’t deserve to travel to Cancun in the offseason and instead should head to Galveston. Knowles, who hails from the city, took issue with the comments in a post on Instagram the following day. In doing so, she revealed that JAY-Z sent her the clip.

Barkley apologized to her for the remarks on Sunday’s episode of the show. “Mrs. Knowles, I don’t want that smoke,” he began. “I don’t want the Beyhive and Jay after Chuck, I apologize. I do not want the Beyhive and Jay after me.”
