And Mama Tina ain’t never scared about what the naysayers think about it.
Now that Vice President Kamala Harris has made it official– that she is running for President of the U.S., Tina Knowles is standing beside her wholeheartedly. So much so, that the mom of Bey’ and Solange is now using her social media pages to repeatedly call out Donald Trump and his political antics, as well as to show full support of VP Harris. And as y’all can imagine, plenty of folks have something to say about Tina –the mother of one of the biggest music celebs in the game– being brave enough to loudly speak her mind. In other words, they’re now seeing that Mama Tina handles these topics a lot different from her eldest child, Bey’ (at least publicly speaking, but we’ll explain that in a sec.’).
DL Hughley
In one Instagram post, Tina re-shared the sentiments of comedian/radio personality, DL Hughley, who shared a meme slamming Trump and calling out those who support Trump’s oftentimes questionable tactics and behaviors. The meme read as follows:
“Despite calling Barron ‘Melania’s son’, getting JD Vance’s name wrong, confusing Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi and falling aslepep on camera at the Republican National Convention, the media has never made a multi-week story out of questioning Trumps cognitive abilities, energy level, or ability to do the job. This is why so many people don’t trust the media at all.”
Tina’s re-shared DL-Hughley-caption stated the following:
Repost : @realdlhughley Why are some people just singled out for people to always be magnifying everything that they see as a negative. And some people just get away with murder. Nobody calls them out for anything , I believe It is because the expectations put on those people are very very low.. so therefore, there is no criticism to those people even when they don’t show excellence , when they blatantly copy off of someone else’s hard work and sacrifice and have no shame about it. When they don’t give their all, when they do something wrong or illegal. Or they Lie , or take credit for something they didn’t come up with? When they don’t show up and give it their best. They just show up for the photo op. No one harps on it! Why is there no talk about all of these mistakes after the convention? Expectations are Low.! Is that what we want for our country low expectations? Please get out and vote , Donate at least 5 dollars to the campaign, ❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
In the comments underneath her post, Tina received mostly praise for speaking up, along with a few haters here and there. Check out a few of the responses below:

Mama Tina didn’t stop there though. She also re-posted a video meme and caption in support of VP Kamala Harris, which highlighted the point that Black women –including VP Harris, who is of Black and South Asian decent– are “the most unprotected” people in America. Check it out below…
While actress, Viola Davis wrote, “It ends NOW!! We are and will protect,honor,define ourselves! SHE is worthy! With every fiber of my being….I STAND WITH HER!!!✊🏿✊🏿❤️❤️❤️”
And actress, Holly Robinson-Peete, declared, “But we are ready!!”
But again, Tina wasn’t done yet. On Tuesday July 23, 2024, she also took to social media to re-post a clip from talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, who pointed out several “dictatorship” statements Trump has recently made about how he plans to utilize biased ‘dictatorship-like’ strategies to run America if he were to get re-elected as President. Tina captioned her post with this message:
“Wow !! When people show you who you are you better believe them. When they come right out and say it you darn sure should believe them! Some people like dictatorships ? wow!!!!” – Tina Knowles
So as you can see I Love Old School Music family, although Beyoncé doesn’t necessarily speak publicly about a lot of these issues, she is clearly the product of a bold woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. And by the way….it’s now been confirmed that Beyoncé –who’s typically fiercely protective over the rights of her music– signed off for VP Kamala Harris to use her music for her 2024 Presidential campaign run, which the VP has already began to do. Gotta love it.
We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
