Tina Knowles has subtly addressed her ex-husband Mathew Knowles' recent comments questioning her contributions to Destiny's Child. In a classy move, she reposted a throwback video highlighting her key role in the group's style and costumes. Fans are buzzing over the family drama that's reignited online.
Oh honey, the Knowles tea is piping hot once again! It all stems from a viral PIX11 interview where Mathew Knowles, after the anchor praised both him and Tina for their 'work' behind Destiny's Child, hit back with that now-infamous question: 'What work did she put in?' He even walked off the set, leaving everyone side-eyeing. But Tina? She's not one to let history get rewritten. On Thursday, the icon reposted a throwback documentary clip on social media, spilling all the details of her early days hustling for the group. We're talking shaping their hairstyles, designing those legendary costumes, and even whipping up original outfits when high-end fashion houses straight-up refused to collaborate. Talk about serving looks from the jump! 🔥
Fans flooded The Shade Room's Instagram comments, and whew, the shade was real. One user, @stefflondon, dropped: 'HELLO……SHE MADE “BEYONCE” JOB DONE!' While @tanaye_h gushed, 'THEE MS. TINA❤️❤️🖤🖤🤎🤎'. Not everyone's team Tina though—@itsalwaysapleasure_ clapped back: '😂😂😂😂😂😂😂… Matthew did all the behind the scenes work. STOP PLAYING WITH UNC🤦🏻♀️😒'. And @thebadpapi nailed it: '& don’t EVER ask again “what work did she put in?” ——— this work.' Even @2wnty20 pointed out, '.. yall keep saying “she made Beyonce”… like he didnt also 😂😂😭😭'.
Mathew, for his part, fired back in defense, insisting the clip was 'misrepresented.' He told outlets he doesn't 'do interviews'—just has 'conversations'—and that his question was merely to clarify Tina's role, not shade it. 'You can’t even find a negative comment I’ve ever said about Tina… People try to bait us all the time,' he said, adding he always calls her his 'former wife' out of respect and is 'evaluating all legal remedies' over the backlash. Classy clapback or messy family feud? Tina's letting her legacy do the talking, but with Mathew hinting at legal drama, is this tea done spilling? 👀
