Tina Knowles recently pulled out the mama bear claws on behalf of Beyoncé. Knowles specifically called out Candace Owens for repeatedly alleging that Kamala Harris’ campaign paid her daughter for an endorsement. Owens and others have claimed that Bey received $10 million for her appearance during Harris’ last major election event in Houston, Texas. After Tina came for her neck, Owens clapped back.

Tina Knowles Sets The Record Straight
On Nov. 16, Tina caught Candace Owens’ call-outs and shared a few words of her own for the self-proclaimed news host. Apparently, Candace had read reports of Beyoncé allegedly being paid the large sum to back Harris days before the election. In response, Knowles shared that Instagram removed Owens’ post about the Beyoncé rumors under the label of “fake news.”
“It’s called false information. Sadly other platforms with a lack of integrity still have it up. The lie is that Beyoncé was paid 10 million dollars to speak at a rally in Houston for Vice President Kamala Harris. When in fact: Beyoncé did not receive a penny for speaking at a presidential candidate’s…rally in Houston. In fact, she actually paid for her own flights for her and her team, and total glam.”
Mama Tina Knowles added that “they” are disrespecting Beyoncé and discrediting VP Harris’ campaign efforts. “When does the lies and rumors stop? Of course, you won’t see this in the news!!!”

Candace Owens Reacts To Tina
Not one to back down, Owens shared several words for Tina Knowles in response to her “fake news” call out. Candace started by reading Mama Tina’s post. She accused Knowles of sounding privileged with the part in her caption about Bey flying out her glam squad to the rally.
“This is an economy where authenticity pays, and Beyoncé does not remember what it means to be authentic anymore because she’s been playing the role of a queen for so long, and she’s gotten accustomed to visiting the commonwealth every four years. She comes out…and she reminds us all who we should be voting for…Her and Jay-Z.”
Candace added that ten years ago people would’ve cared who Bey and Jay said to vote for. But now? “People find it to be somewhat annoying,” Owens said.
“Beyoncé listen to me, girlfriend ’cause I know you’re watching. You don’t gotta text from your mommy’s burner account on Instagram. You’re annoying now. It’s just tired. You gotta switch it up. Do something new. Seem like a person, pretend you care about the commonwealth. Maybe every two years, come out. Do a podcast. Pretend to be a human being.”
See what else Candace Owens, who admitted she doesn’t “dislike” Beyoncé, had to say. Including about Jay-Z and his “thug music.”
John Legend & Oprah Also Deny Receiving Payment For Harris Endorsements
John Legend, who also endorsed Harris during her 107-day campaign run, slid into Tina’s comment section. “Let em know, Ms. Tina! We all performed/appeared for free because we care about our nation’s future.”
Most recently, Oprah Winfrey also cleared the air about her endorsement. She denied that Harris’ campaign paid her $1 million to support the vice president’s White House run. She later clarified that her production company, Harpo, was hired to bring in the essentials for a live-streaming event and that the production people got paid. However, she didn’t. “My time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign,” Oprah wrote in an Instagram comment section.
