Jay-Z Gave His Mother-In Law, Tina Knowles, Valuable Advice About Her Social Media Use, But It Doesn’t Sound Like She’s Listening To Him

by

As a seasoned moviegoer who has witnessed countless dramas unfold both on and off-screen, I find myself deeply moved by the story of Tina Knowles and her unwavering love for her family. Her fierce protection of her children is reminiscent of the heroic mothers in many classic films, from Claudia Jones in “A Raisin in the Sun” to Marion Crane’s mother in “Psycho.”

However, as a spectator who has seen the destructive power of social media firsthand, I can understand Jay-Z’s plea for Tina to step back from the digital battlefield. The internet, like a wild west saloon, is filled with all sorts of characters, some with good intentions and others with malicious ones. It’s a place where even the most well-intentioned words can be misconstrued or taken out of context, much like a game of broken telephone.

Tina’s desire to defend her family is commendable, but as Jay-Z so eloquently put it, “If you’re gonna read somebody, at least spell your words right.” In today’s world, it seems that grammar lessons are just as important as life lessons.

In a lighter vein, I can’t help but think of the classic film “The Social Network,” where Mark Zuckerberg famously said, “A million people might hate me, and I go to bed and the world is exactly the same.” Tina Knowles, my dear, remember that when you’re scrolling through those comments. The world won’t stop spinning just because someone on social media dislikes your family. So, take a deep breath, ignore the noise, and remember that love always wins in the end. Just like in “The Notebook,” all it takes is one simple gesture to make everything right again.

In terms of social media perils, few are more experienced than Jay-Z as he has been embroiled in numerous scuffles that have sparked intense discussions online. Generally, it’s advisable to avoid fueling the fire or attempting to quell the commotion. However, Jay-Z’s mother-in-law, Tina Knowles, doesn’t always adhere to this approach, even with Jay-Z frequently cautioning about the potential damage social media can inflict.

Tina Knowles recently appeared as a guest on The Run-Through podcast by Vogue, during which she confessed that at times, the harsh comments and criticism directed towards her family on social media can be upsetting. Beyoncé, who has been in a long-term relationship with Jay-Z, often finds herself under public scrutiny and subjected to rumors. Despite being advised by her family to avoid social media and disregard negative comments, Knowles frequently feels compelled to defend and shield her loved ones online. As quoted by People:

As a mother, it’s my role to shield my children, and there are moments when I just can’t help but intervene. My kids often tell me to let things slide, but there comes a point when I feel like enough is enough. For instance, if someone were harming my child, it’s tough to stand by. After all, no mother should have to watch her kid being hurt… Even though this conversation doesn’t understand my emotions, and there might be some wild content here, my son-in-law, Jay, always reminds me to spell words correctly when I write something. He says, “If you’re going to correct someone, at least make sure your spelling is accurate, Mom. Don’t misspell your words, take your time, and proofread your work!” However, in the heat of the moment, I rarely have the patience for that.

It’s likely that this guidance was offered because of Knowles’ history of standing up for her family. For instance, she spoke out on social media when critics accused Beyoncé of trying to lighten her skin on the red carpet. More recently, she publicly criticized individuals who made negative comments about her daughter’s Christmas Day Halftime performance, which was streamed on Netflix. It’s clear that Knowles is extremely protective and doesn’t tolerate negativity towards those she cares for deeply.

Despite Knowles standing firm in defending her family, it’s unlikely the relentless media scrutiny and social media comments will ease up any time soon. Lately, Jay-Z has faced criticism due to rumors of his connection with P Diddy and illegal activities linked to parties at his home. However, he asserts his innocence, yet this hasn’t deterred social media from expressing strong opinions about the allegations. Furthermore, his collaborations with artists like Kanye West remain a subject of controversy, and persistent rumors of infidelity in his marriage to Beyoncé continue to tarnish his public reputation.

Despite any challenges, Jay-Z and Beyoncé remain steadfast in their commitment to each other and their family. It appears that Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, is equally loyal to her daughter’s husband and may even wish to defend him further. The desire to shield one’s family is natural, but it can sometimes do more harm than good when shared on social media. Considering the present situation, it might be wise for Tina Knowles to heed Jay-Z’s advice, as his counsel could prove beneficial.
