Tina Knowles Courageously Sets the Record Straight on Beyoncé’s Involvement
On November 16, Tina Knowles took to social media to confront Candace Owens directly, delivering a strong rebuke to the self-proclaimed news commentator. It appears that Candace had cited reports claiming Beyoncé was paid a substantial amount to endorse Harris just days before the election. In her response, Knowles pointed out that Instagram had removed Owens’ post, labeling it as “fake news.” This bold move highlights the importance of verifying claims before spreading misinformation, especially concerning influential figures like Beyoncé.
“It’s called false information. Sadly, other platforms with a lack of integrity still have it up. The lie is that Beyoncé was paid 10 million dollars to speak at a rally in Houston for Vice President Kamala Harris. In reality, Beyoncé did not receive any financial compensation for her appearance at the presidential candidate’s rally in Houston. She even covered her own travel expenses for herself and her team, along with paying for her glam squad,” Knowles stated emphatically.
Mama Tina Knowles further expressed her discontent, stating that the ongoing rumors are disrespectful not only to Beyoncé but also undermine the hard work and dedication of Vice President Harris’ campaign. She passionately questioned, “When will the lies and rumors cease? Of course, you won’t see this addressed in mainstream news!” This statement underscores the challenges that public figures face in combating misinformation and maintaining their reputations.

In addition, media mogul Oprah Winfrey clarified her stance regarding her endorsement of Harris. She denied claims that she was compensated with $1 million for her support of the vice president’s campaign. Oprah later explained that while her production company, Harpo, was hired to handle the logistics for a live-streaming event, her personal involvement was strictly voluntary. “My time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign,” she stated in an Instagram comment, reinforcing the idea that many influential figures are motivated by passion rather than profit.
