Tina Knowles Hilariously Realizes What Beyonce’s Song “Ego” Is Actually About

by

Tina Knowles has spent so much time with Beyonce’s catalog that one would probably expect her to know it as well as the back of her hand. But it turns out that there are still surprises in Queen Bey’s catalog that her mother is catching onto all these years later. Moreover, the recently divorced Knowles left an Instagram comment under a video of a podcast group listening to her daughter’s track “Ego,” which has lyrics such as “It’s too big, it’s too wide, it won’t fit.” As such, it seems like she never caught on to the song’s sexual innuendo, and expressed genuine shock and surprise at realizing the hidden meaning years after its release.

“Wow, !!!!!!!!” Tina Knowles’ message about Beyoncé’s cut “Ego” began. “I just realized that she wasn’t talking about that ego!!!!!!!! Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy!!!!!!! [three crying-laughing emojis]. I’m serious I really didn’t Know til now!!!!!! That’s crazy! Nooo! Really? Maybe not ! I don’t know! What y’all think?” At least Knowles has other Bey songs to latch onto, such as when the Kamala Harris campaign used “Freedom” after Tina endorsed her for president of the United States.

Tina Knowles Admits That She Just Found Out What Beyoncé’s “Ego” Is Really About

As far as other retrospective perspectives from Tina Knowles about Beyoncé’s life and career, she recently expanded on how her daughter handled bullying in her childhood. She told Vogue that the Houston superstar actually didn’t defend herself at first, but started doing so after she stuck up for another person whom childhood bullies attacked. Of course, this idea sounds bizarre today: why in the world would Sasha Fierce have bullies? But we all have to start somewhere, and these old tales remind us of where and what we came from on our path to where we are now.

Also, Tina Knowles divulged on what advice Beyoncé gave her daughter Blue Ivy when it comes to dealing with haters, not bullies. “One of her friends came back and showed her some negative comments and it was a great life lesson,” she told Vogue‘s The Run Through podcast. “Because her mom basically said, ‘Listen, if you let this get you down, then they won. So you should go and work harder. And, you know, just work harder and get your skills together and go out there and blast it.’ So it actually worked in Blue’s favor because she was only supposed to do it one time. But now her mom was, that mama bear was on to it. It was like, she was like, ‘You go out there and kill it,’ and she did. She just grew so much from that experience.”

Tina Knowles & Richard Lawson Divorce Settlement Figures Revealed

by

Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson have reportedly settled their divorce, and new details about the numbers involved and other considerations recently emerged thanks to court documents reportedly obtained by In Touch Weekly. Moreover, these docs state that they split due to “irreconcilable differences that have arisen between the parties which have led to the irremediable breakdown of the marriage, making it impossible for the parties to live together as husband and wife.” But it seems like this settlement satisfied both individuals.

Furthermore, one of the terms is that Tina Knowles must pay her estranged ex-husband a one-time payment of $300K. Neither she nor Richard Lawson will receive spousal support from the other. As a result of their settlement and agreed-upon terms, Tina also got a 2018 Tesla, a 2020 Bentley, the Matriarch Book partnership with Penguin Random House, a one-percent interest in Kirby Beauty Management LLC, furniture and art in her possession, and all creative works, ideas, drafts, and materials that she generated during their marriage. These awards don’t change the fact that Knowles must pay all credit card debits she garnered during their relationship.

At least Tina Knowles will keep her Los Angeles home and the belongings within. On the other hand, Richard Lawson’s awards were a 2021 Cadillac Escalade, various bank and retirement accounts, all money owed to Richard Lawson Studios, earned royalties, and all his creative works that manifested during the marriage. As far as the Cadillac, he had to pay everything for it. The court docs also reveal an NDA that both must sign, which bars both of them from speaking negatively about the other party, their children, or their grandchildren.

“With respect to the mutual desire to protect the privacy rights of any and all present or future grandchildren of either party, the parties agree that they will not, when asked by any media or person, discuss said grandchildren or future grandchildren whether verbally or in writing,” Tina Knowles and Richard Lawson’s agreement reportedly reads. In other news, Tina’s endorsement of Kamala Harris put some more Beyoncé songs on the campaign playlist. As her family continues to see success, we wish her and Lawson the best in the future with all their endeavors.

VP Kamala Harris Releases First Campaign Video Featuring Beyoncé’s “Freedom”

by
Vice President Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris has released her first official presidential campaign video. The clip is set to Beyoncé’s song, “Freedom.”

“In this election, we each face a question,” Harris says in the clip. “What type of country do we want to live in?”

Later, she says, “We choose freedom,” allowing Beyoncé’s voice to ring off.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a memorable entrance during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters on Monday evening. She walked out to the powerful anthem “Freedom” by Beyoncé. A source close to Harris revealed to CNN that her team received approval from Beyoncé’s representatives to use the song throughout her presidential campaign.

Beyoncé, known for her strict clearance guidelines around her music, swiftly granted permission to Harris’ campaign on Monday, just hours before the Vice President made her entrance. While Beyoncé has not officially endorsed Harris following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not seek a second term, her quick approval for the use of “Freedom” suggests the superstar’s support for Harris.

This significant gesture underscores the cultural and political weight behind Harris’ campaign, highlighting a potential alignment with Beyoncé’s advocacy for social justice and empowerment.

Additionally was a ringing message of support from Tina Knowles on Instagram.

Kamala Harris Walks Out To Beyonce Song After Tina Knowles Endorsement

by

Kamala Harris isn’t wasting time. President Joe Biden stepped down on Sunday, July 21, and Harris, the new Democratic nominee, gave a speech on July 22. Recognizing the importance of strong branding, the current Vice President decided to use Beyonce’s “Freedom” as her walk-out song. “Freedom,” released by Bey on her self-titled album, is described by Genius as an “anthem dedicated to Black women.” Given the reverence for the song, and Harris’ public profile, the alignment of art and politics makes sense.

This is not the first time Kamala Harris has publicly aligned herself with Beyonce’s music. During a 2023 interview with People Magazine, the VP revealed that she attended Bey’s Renaissance World Tour. She also cited “Break My Soul” as her favorite song on the Renaissance album. “I just love that song,” Harris explained. “I play it all the time. It’s one of the anthems for women. When [Beyonce says] ‘you,’ you could be life, you could be a person, you could be a situation. You will not break my soul.” Bey’s last album, Cowboy Carter, drew similarly high praise from Harris. “You have redefined a genre and reclaimed country music’s Black roots,” she wrote on Twitter. “Your music continues to inspire us all.”

The timing of Kamala Harris’ “Freedom” needle drop could have been more perfectly timed. The same day the VP utilized the Beyonce song, Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, endorsed her presidential bid. “You asked for it and our President Biden did what was best for the country,” Knowles explained on IG. “Putting personal Ego, power and fame aside. That is the definition of a great leader,” Knowles thanked Biden for his decision and made it clear she was behind Harris all the way. “Thank you, President Biden for your service and your leadership,” she added. “Go Vice President Kamala Harris for President.”

Beyonce has not spoken publicly about Kamala Harris. She did, however, provide the Vice President with free tickets to her show in 2023. NBC News reported that the tickets Bey gifted to Harris were valued at a whopping $1655.92. Harris returned the favor by posting photos of the concert, and thanking Beyonce for the kind gesture. “Thanks for a fun date night, @Beyonce,” she wrote on August 6. Both Beyonce and JAY-Z have made their friendship with the Obamas public, and have been vocal about their politics in the past. Only time will tell if Beyonce decides to voice support for the new candidate.

Tina Knowles Reveals How Beyonce Dealt With Childhood Bullies

by

Beyonce isn’t just one of the biggest stars on planet earth, but one that seems absolutely larger than life. Her massive Renaissance tour last year broke records for its attendance and gross while making nightly news for her looks and guests. She followed that up with Cowboy Carter, her new album and the second chapter in her trilogy of genre experiments. The journey into the world of country music was a massive commercial success and an even bigger hit with critics who praised her ability to slip seamlessly between genres.

But as Tina Knowles recently revealed to Vogue, Beyonce wasn’t always on top of the world. In a recent interview with the publication Knowles discusses what Bey, Solange, and Kelly Rowland were like growing up and some of the challenges they faced. The most surprising reveal may be the fact that Bey herself actually dealt with childhood bullies. But Tina reassures everyone that Bey stood for what was right and stuck up to the bullies when they tried the same tactics on a friend. Check out the full interview and some of the fan praise for Tina Knowles below.

Recently Tina also spoke on how some of Beyonce’s childhood lessons may be passed down to her own children. In another clip where she’s speaking to Vogue she explains how Beyonce taught Blue Ivy to deal with haters. They came after her when the joined the Renaissance tour as a dancer last year. Though almost all of the reception for her inclusion was overwhelmingly positive, she was clearly hung up on some of the hate. Speaking of Renaissance, Bey was recently sued over the album’s lead single “Break My Soul. ” A group filed the suit claiming that the song infringes on their copyright.

Tina Knowles Divulges About Beyonce’s Advice To Blue Ivy On Handling Haters

by

If you recall the massive hype behind Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE tour, one of the most talked-about details was her daughter Blue Ivy’s dancing performance throughout. Though she got a lot of due praise from fans, others were more critical of it online, which represented some overblown standards and unjustified hate for some die-hards. Now, Blue’s grandmother Tina Knowles spoke out on the matter during a recent interview with Vogue‘s The Run Through podcast. Specifically, she revealed some interesting aspects of the advice that Queen Bey gave her daughter when it comes to dealing with negative attention and a lot of scrutiny.

Furthermore, Tina Knowles began by remarking on how blown away she and Jay-Z were by Blue Ivy’s dancing performance during the “My Power” and “Black Parade” cuts of the RENAISSANCE tour. She called her moves “the best” and recalled how “every night, her dad and me would get on this platform out there and we would just be screaming our heads off, like, with no shame at all.” Of course, some of the negativity towards Blue hampered this otherwise glowing family reception, which must have been somewhat of a blow. Then, Tina Knowles explained what Beyoncé had to say about this experience.

“One of her friends came back and showed her some negative comments and it was a great life lesson,” Tina Knowles said of Blue Ivy and Beyoncé. “Because her mom basically said, ‘Listen, if you let this get you down, then they won. So you should go and work harder. And, you know, just work harder and get your skills together and go out there and blast it.’ So it actually worked in Blue’s favor because she was only supposed to do it one time. But now her mom was, that mama bear was on to it. It was like, she was like, ‘You go out there and kill it,’ and she did. She just grew so much from that experience.”

Meanwhile, Beyoncé had previously revealed during the RENAISSANCE tour documentary that Blue Ivy advocated hard for herself to stay on the show after what was supposed to be just one performance. “She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” the Houston superstar stated. This part of the film also centered around how devastating the negative comments could feel at times. When Sasha Fierce is there to push you forward and see the fruits of your hard work, that’s got to tune the haters out pretty well.

Tina Knowles Reveals Why Beyonce Educating Her Fans Through Music Can Scare Her As A Mother

by

Tina Knowles says that her daughter Beyonce’s commitment to educating her fanbase through her music can scare her at times. Appearing on the Naked Beauty podcast, Knowles recalled Beyonce’s iconic performance at Coachella in 2018, which she later documented for the film, Homecoming.

“What I’m so proud of that Beyonce does constantly– whether it was Black Is King, showing African culture in such a beautiful, royal way– and she gets a lot of heat for it all the time. She’s always pushing the envelope and making conversation happen. And I remember her telling me at Coachella, because I was like, ‘I don’t think those people got it tonight.’ I was in the front and I was like, ‘When you start doing all that fraternity stuff,’ I was like, ‘They were looking so confused,’ and I was like, ‘This girl came and asked me, was the Black national anthem your new single.’ And I said, ‘They not getting it. You not connecting and I’m really worried.’”

From there, she recalled Beyonce saying, “‘Mom, some people will get it today, some people will get it next week, some people will get it next year, but I want them to go research what that is, what that means, and I want them to understand it and create conversation. I feel like I was put on this earth to do that. Not just to be an entertainer but to ring the bell and get people educated.’” Knowles added that it makes her scared as a mother for her daughter to be handling it all.

Tina Knowles provided a rare update on Beyonce and JAY-Z’s twins, Rumi and Sir, during an interview with E! News at the Kentucky Derby, earlier this month. She described Rumi as an “amazing artist” while revealing that Sir is really into “numbers stuff” at the moment. Beyonce and JAY-Z welcomed the two back in 2018.

“Rumi is amazing—an amazing artist, painter, and creator,” Tina told the outlet during the event. “How could they be anything else growing up in that environment? All we talk about is creativity and fashion.” As for Sir, she added: “Sir is very quiet. [He] does all of the numbers stuff, so he’s not into fashion as much.”

She teamed up with genre legends Dolly Parton, Linda Martell, and Willie Nelson as well as Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, Shaboozey, and Willie Jones for the album.
