‘You bozos!’ — Beyonce’s mother tackles claims her daughter lightened her skin

Published

Tina Knowles, the mother of Beyoncé, has ridiculed critics claiming the singer lightened her skin.

On Saturday, Beyonce wore a silver dress and blond hair to the premiere of her ‘Renaissance’ film.

However, some people criticised the singer for changing her appearance, adding that she “looks so white”.

Reacting in a post via Instagram, Knowles described the criticism as racist, disappointing, and a “stupid narrative”.

The singer’s mother said Beyoncé’s outfit was a fashion statement and she is tired of those attacking her daughter.

Knowles said people should celebrate Beyoncé’s talent and work ethic instead of perpetuating “double standards”.

“Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self-hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,” she wrote.

“She does a film, called The Renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she is trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?

“How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy? She wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement.

“What is really sad is that a white woman had the audacity to reach out to Neal, Beyonce’s hairstylist, to say that fans are saying that she wants to be white and she wanted to get a statement about it from Neal.

“Well, that made my blood boil; that this white woman felt so entitled to discuss her blackness. What is really most disappointing is that some black people, yes you bozos that’s on social media.

“Lying and faking and acting like you are so ignorant that you don’t understand. Black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James days.

“I just went and looked at all the beautiful talented black celebrities who have worn platinum hair and it has been just about every one of them at one time or another.

“Are they all trying to be white? I am sick and tired of people attacking her. Every time she does something that she works her ass off for is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience.

“Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism, sexism, and double standards.”

Gospel singer Testimony Jaga gives Portable 3 days to apologise for slapping preacher

Testimony Jaga, the Nigerian gospel singer, has given Portable a three-day ultimatum to apologise to the preacher he slapped.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was heavily criticised on social media on Monday for slapping the man who he claimed was preaching close to his bar.

Jaga, while joining the chorus of condemnation against Portable, said he should have reported to the right authorities if the preacher’s actions were wrong.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the gospel artiste claimed to have received divine instruction to advocate for the preacher.

He also warned Portable to issue a public apology within three days or face consequences.

“I’m giving you three days to apologise to that man,” he wrote.

“If that man Portable slapped is doing something wrong, can’t he call the law enforcement agencies to arrest him?

“Even if he does not like what the man was doing, he could have easily chased him away not slap him. That is somebody’s father, husband and uncle.

“If the pastor was a famous person who uses security guards, would he have slapped him? It is because the man has no one.

“I’m not against Portable, he might have done it out of pride but if he realises what he did, he should go and apologize to the man and make a video.

“That’s a mockery of someone’s God. Telling the man to go and call his God, is mockery. He has called his God and that’s why someone like me is talking now.

“God has told me to fight for the man. Who are we to judge anyone?”

Dammy Krane petitions police over rift with Davido, demands $500k payment

Dammy Krane has petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector general of police, over his lingering dispute with Davido.

The feud between the pair started in October 2023 after Krane called out Davido on social media, claiming he owed him for songwriting contributions.

Krane also accused the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker of sabotaging his record deal with Sony Music.

In response to the allegations, Davido labeled Krane “ungrateful” and claimed he received no payment for their collaborations. Davido also mentioned that he provided shelter and support for Krane when he was homeless.

Since then, Krane has continued to attack Davido on social media; even accusing him of being involved in the death of his friend Tagbo Umeike. Tagbo died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017.

Davido dismissed claims and threatened to sue Krane for “defamation of character and cyberbullying”.

In a letter posted on his social media pages, Krane accused Davido of several wrongdoings while addressing five key concerns.

The singer alleged that Davido and his allies are threatening his life. He also called for the re-opening of Tagbo’s death case.

Krane pleaded with the inspector-general to help lift the restrictions on his bank accounts, which he claimed made it difficult for him to access his funds.

The singer also appealed to Egbetokun to get Davido to “pay me all the money he owed for the song ‘Pere’”.

He claimed Davido agreed to pay him $500,000 for their collaborative song but has refused to pay him.
