Tina Knowles Details Protecting Beyoncé and Solange Knowles

As a dedicated follower of the Knowles-Carter family’s journey, I can wholeheartedly appreciate Tina Knowles’ unwavering dedication to protecting her daughters and grandchildren from the relentless demands of the entertainment industry. Her experiences as a mother and businesswoman have equipped her with a unique perspective on the challenges that come with fame, and her determination to shield her loved ones is truly commendable.

Tina Knowles made sure nobody ever took her daughters’ power.

Therefore, it was crucial for her to join the teams of both Beyoncé and Solange Knowles early in their respective careers.

In a joint interview with Donna Kelce, Maggie Baird, and Mandy Teefy, published on October 3rd for Glamour’s Women of the Year issue, Tina shared her past. She had owned a thriving hair salon from the start but also styled the girls’ hair to cover her living expenses so she could accompany them as she felt the need to safeguard them. This wasn’t about daily plane trips for glamour; it was because she wanted to shield her children, aged 14 and 15, who were in an industry known for being harsh and unforgiving.

Around this period, Beyoncé, aged 43, started her career with Destiny’s Child, where she worked alongside Kelly Rowland, whom Ms. Tina referred to as her bonus daughter.

As a devoted follower looking back, I remember how my mother, Tina, found herself in the limelight at a young age as an actress. Later on, she transitioned into music, just like her daughter Solange, who is now 38 years old. Throughout all our fame and growth over the years, Mom never forgot that she was there to shield us during our long-lasting careers.

Eventually, I found myself thinking, ‘I’m heading home.’ However, that never happened as I realized my presence was needed.

In similar words as Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s mom Maggie expressed, she emphasized to her fellow mothers, “Just as Maggie put it, you’re the one who doesn’t have any other motive. Your children are yours, and you want to safeguard them, and believe me, they need that protection.

In conversation with other mothers of celebrities – Mandy being the mother of Selena Gomez and Donna, mother to NFL players Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce – Tina expressed that shielding her daughters from social media remains difficult, even though they have grown up.

She mentioned that the most challenging aspect of this situation is the harsh comments directed at Beyoncé and Solange, her children, on social media. “We’ve discussed shielding them,” she said about her concern for their well-being. “You wish you could safeguard them, but you can’t because you can’t battle the entire internet.

Furthermore, her Grammy-winning daughters have emphasized their desire to shield her from any negative influences that may otherwise diminish her spirits, step by step.

My children often advise me, ‘Mom, please disregard those strange individuals,'” she went on. “I do my best to comply, yet there are times when it becomes overwhelming. At such moments, I must speak up and then move on.

Mama Tina is fine when it comes to her eldest daughters, but she sets boundaries regarding her grandchildren such as Blue Ivy (age 12), Sir and Rumi Carter (ages 7) – who are Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children – and Juelz Smith (age 19), son of Solange and her ex-husband Daniel Smith.

She often views information with skepticism, she clarified. However, if someone tries to harm her grandchildren, she’ll intervene immediately. This is because they are minors who didn’t choose this situation. On several occasions, she’s spoken up forcefully against people, but there are limits she won’t cross.
