Mathew Knowles Defends Family amid Kanye West's Comments

In a dramatic turn of events, Mathew Knowles, the father of Beyoncé and former manager of Destiny’s Child, has spoken out against Kanye West’s alarming social media remarks concerning his grandchildren. Just this week, West, now known as Ye, made troubling comments about Beyoncé's 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, implying deficiencies in their mental capacity and making a controversial claim about their conception through in vitro fertilization (IVF).

At 73, Knowles expressed his concern for West, suggesting that the rapper’s actions may eventually lead to serious consequences. “People pay a price for being stupid, especially in the music industry,” Knowles emphasized in a statement to TMZ. He also conveyed a sense of empathy by hoping West finds the necessary support for his mental health issues.

The situation escalated further after Knowles' ex-wife, Tina Knowles, took to Instagram with a seemingly sarcastic message that many interpreted as a reaction to West’s offensive post. "What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown," Tina joked, adding a personal note about the challenge of remaining dignified when confronted with ignorance.
