Tina Knowles Reveals Jay-Z’s Social Media Advice After Accidentally Liking Post About His A$sault Allegation
Tina Knowles recently opened up about a social media mishap from earlier this month when she accidentally liked a post referencing her son-in-law Jay-Z’s a$sault allegation.
The 70-year-old discussed the situation on The Run-Through with Vogue podcast, explaining how she occasionally misinterprets posts and unintentionally likes or comments on them—something she has admitted to doing with posts about her own children, Beyoncé and Solange. She shared:
“It’s so funny because you know how many times I’ve liked something that was negative about my own children?”
She continued:
“Because if I’m busy and I’m going through the thing, I’m like, ‘Oh, there’s Beyoncé with so and so.’ I like that. And then the fans come back and say, ‘Miss Tina, please erase that because you’re liking some negative post.’”

Shortly after liking the post about Jay-Z’s case—where he and Diddy are accused of $exually a$saulting a 13-year-old girl years ago—Tina clarified on Instagram that her account had been “hacked” and emphasized that she would never intentionally disrespect her family.
While she didn’t address the case directly in the podcast, Tina revealed that she often uses voice-to-text to compose posts, noting that the technology frequently misinterprets her southern accent.
She also shared advice Jay-Z gave her about social media, saying:
“I know that it doesn’t understand what I’m saying, and it’s got crazy stuff… And my son-in-law, Jay, will say, ‘Listen, if you’re gonna read somebody, at least spell your words right. Don’t misspell your words, Ma. You can’t do that. Take your time and go over and spellcheck your stuff!’”
In response to Jay-Z’s advice, Tina quipped:
“I don’t have time for that.”
