Tina Knowles is clearing the air after being accused of shading Janet Jackson.
Beyonce‘s mom was a trending topic after liking a post from someone bemoaning the ticket prices of the Pop legend’s forthcoming ‘Together Again Tour.’
The move sent some corners of the internet into a tailspin with unfounded conjecture leading to a growing pile of speculation surrounding the sentiment between both camps.
However, in a brief but direct address, Miss Tina extinguished the noise with a clear explanation.
See what we mean below…
Taking to Instagram, the Knowles matriarch revealed she liked the post in a hurry without actually reading it in depth.
She went on to praise Jackson, who she stressed “opened doors for Beyonce” and saluted the entire Jackson family.
Peep her address and caption:
“I am saddened by this. Janet Jackson is an icon and I would never question another artist. I took Destiny’s Child to see Janet when they were 15 years old . They always looked up to her and she opened doors for Beyonce. Why would I hate on her ? I know now not to be in a rush and to be very careful. (I learned my lesson) ! Especially when I have so much going on.. I just wanted to clarify. . I do know that you can see people’s likes so I would be pretty dumb to do that. ❤️❤️”

LMAO MAMA ROACH IS LYING, SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULDN’T GET CAUGHT, LYING ASS FRAUD JUST LIKE THAT FLOP SHE RAISED LMAOOO🤣🤣🤣
Beyoncé maybe a few things but flop? Na
LMAOOOO THAT FLOP IS CONSTANTLY GETTING WASHED BY TAYLOR ON THE CHARTS, ISSA FLOP ROACH, DEAL WITH IT LMAOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Call me when miss radio disney singer gets 30 Grammys. Until than I’ll be paying you dust.
Aht Aht Aht! Don’t backpedal now Jigsaw. You’re only apologizing because you got caught
Exactly , and I think Beyonce told her to apologize for what she said.
Beyoncé could care less. Keep dreaming
They want Janet’s attention so bad.
Let’s argue. I got a lil time today
Actually it’s the other way around. I’ve never heard Beyoncé even mention Janet ever.
Just because someone dont mention someone doesent mean the dont care grow up this is the real world
Actually, when you’re grown, you realize that’s exactly what it means. It’s called actions speak louder than words. Something you learn when you’re an adult.
WRONG. She has mentioned Janet on multiple occasions, dressed as her for Halloween and even attended her concert in 2019. Ring The Alarm choreo was inspired by Rhythm Nation. Beyonce made a disrespectful comment about the Jackson family many years ago, I would pay her dust too if I was Janet.
And Rihanna said her inspiration was Mariah and Whitney once she first started out what does that tell you….But I do understand the hype of Beyoncé name dropping you, even if her team told her too lol
Are you saying THEEE Janet Jackson needed Beyonce to name drop her? LMAOOOO! Beyonce paid homage to Janet so many times throughout her career. And Janet showed love to Beyonce prior to her making that nasty remark. You’re delusional.
Wrong again, that girl’s name has never come out of Janet’s mouth. Sit down.
Actually you’re wrong, google is your friend. Literally search up Janet disses Madonna in interview. This ain’t the game you trynna play
Yes, Thee Janet nosejob needs beyonces name. Shall I remind you who’s sold more records WW? Tours?? You don’t wanna go there
Where was the shade? What’s there to apologize for? Honestly it’s sad Tina’s getting bullied over the internet for literally having a twitter account tf? And as for Janet.. how as a black woman do you see another black woman get slandered all over the internet and not say anything? Boy George was right about her….
Girl, bye. Janet NEVER responds to drama. That’s been her modus operandi for 50 years.
“Janet NEVER responds to drama. That’s been her modus operandi for 50 years.” The same Janet that when interviewed back in the 80s and asked about her drama with Madonna she stated she had class and Madonna didn’t? That same Janet?
You mean when she was responding to Madonna shading her brother during a performance? Not the same thing, try again.
Tina got caught red handed trying to be shady. She might be 90 years old but she know how social media operates. Shes been very active on IG for years. Janet doesn’t have to say a damn thing. Just like she hasn’t for years. She bothers no one. Pops out when she feels like it, performs and goes home to her baby. She has nothing else to prove.
That part. Tina was being slick and didn’t think anybody would notice, now she’s backpedaling. She knew what she was doing, any idiot knows how social media works.
Wrong bytch, Tina is the one that got caught slandering another black woman. Don’t try to make excuses for her nonsense just because she got busted. Sit your stupid ass down.
So Janet knowing and seeing Tina (another black woman) get dragged and slandered online and saying nothing is okay got it. And where tf did Tina insult nosejob??? You’re reaching hard. She like a damn tweet.
Lmao @ opened up doors y’all got mama Tina lying just to make y’all feel better wow. Cause when tf was Janet on beys level of vocals and vocals while dancing, dancing in heels at that??
Janet didn’t need her goat yodeling vocals to become Top 3 Greatest Female Artist of All Time bytch, strippers dance in heels all the time, they still can’t outdance Janet.
Lmao Janet and her whisper vocals CANNOT sing. lol Beyoncé is a star vocalist and a far better dancer/performer than Janet. Even Ciara washes her. Stop hyping these fossils.
Giving undercover Karen. 👀
We don’t believe you Wendy Williams! I mean Tina Knowles! Thats why U can’t keep a man now lmaooooo miserable ass
LMAOOO SHOULDA USED THAT ENERGY TO KEEP RENAIFLOP FILM FROM FLOPPING INSTEAD OF BOTHERING JANET LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Call me when Taylor sees even over 10 Grammys. That’s nothing for bey whom has a total of 30. lol
And bouncy STILL can’t win in the main categories. She’s Taylor’s lessor stop setting her up to be dragged lmaooooo
L
Call me when Taylor’s yours can outgross beyonces. Call me when Taylor gets at least over 10 Grammys. Know your place. Taylor and Janet two NON singing singers, what a title to have
Tour*
Angelica Houston knew what she was doing. Girl, bye!
As far as production value, the show really isn’t up to par for who Janet is. I can say that because I’ve seen her on five different tours including Together Again. I will say the choreography is a return to form for Janet. It’s on the level of Velvet Rope and All for You which is why it’s a little frustrating to not see a more full production to really make a statement with all of the hard work she’s been doing.
