Tina Knowles Defends Family After Kanye West Tweets About Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Kids

More of Beyoncés family are reacting to Kanye West’s controversial posts.

Three days after the “Heartless” rapper referred to her and Jay-Z’s 7-year-old twins Rumi and Sir using offensive epithets, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer’s dad Mathew Knowles shared his thoughts on Kanye’s comments.

“People pay a price for being stupid,” the patriarch told TMZ in an interview published March 21, “especially in the music industry.”

Mathew—who also shares daughter Solange, 38, with ex-wife Tina Knowles—shared his sentiments on the “Gold Digger” musician’s emotional wellbeing as well.

“I’m hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs,” he continued, “in terms of mental health.”

While Mathew’s comments were directly focused on Kanye, other members of the Knowles family have responded in more subtle ways. Earlier in the week, Beyoncé’s mom shared a video of herself telling a veiled “corny joke” amid the controversy.

“What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum?” Tina—who is also grandmother to Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest daughter Blue Ivy, 13—said in the March 19 Instagram post. “He has a meltdown.”

E! News has reached out to reps for Mathew, Tina, Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Kanye for comment but has not heard back.
