Beyoncés mom calls out 'bozos' saying her daughter wants to be white for wearing platinum hair
"I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this."
Tina Knowles Lawson is fed up.
The mother of Solange and Beyoncé went into Pissed Off Mom Mode on Instagram after seeing posts attacking her eldest daughter and her latest slay, a platinum wave cascading down her back at the L.A. premiere of her Renaissance concert film.
"Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid, ignorant [self-hating] racist statements about her lightening her skin and wearing platinum hair [and] wanting to be white," Lawson wrote, noting that Beyoncé, as usual, simply understood the assignment.
Lawson continued, "She does a film, called Renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she's trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?"
Lawson then describes a reporter contacting Beyoncé's hairstylist "to say that the fans are saying that she wants to be white and she wanted to get a statement about it."
"Well that made, my blood boil," she added, "that this white woman felt so entitled to discuss her Blackness." Lawson also expressed her disappointment that "some Black people...on social media" were ignorant to the fact that "Black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James day."
"I am sick and tired of people attacking her," Lawson said of Beyoncé. "Every time she does something that she works her ass off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent, and resilience [...] here you sad little haters come out the woodwork."
Mincing no words, the 69-year-old admitted that her superstar daughter will be "pissed" at her for going off on social media, but Lawson says she's had enough.
"I am sick of you losers," Lawson concludes. "I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up! This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up and promotes Black women and underdogs at all times."
Beyoncé being pissed not withstanding, Lawson got some love in the comments for her daughter's defense with Issa Rae, Octavia Spencer, and Cynthia Erivo among the celebs chiming in with their support.
But let's be real here, if Beyoncé was that pissed, we wouldn't even be discussing this. We all know Bey don't play.
