Beyoncé‘s mother, Tina Knowles, has slyly clapped back at Kanye West after the rapper made some vile comments about her youngest grandchildren.

After taking aim at Kendrick Lamar, Playboi Carti, Tyler, The Creator and scores of others earlier this week, Ye turned on his former mentor and collaborator, JAY-Z, in a tirade on Tuesday (March 18).

In a post on X, he insulted the Hov and Bey’s 7-year-old twins Rumi and Sir by writing: “WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS. THEYRE RETARDED. NO LIKE LITERALLY. AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IS A BLESSING. HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE.”

The following day, Ms. Tina hopped on Instagram to tell a “corny joke” that was a thinly veiled dig at Ye.

“What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown,” she said giggling.

She continued to dig in her original caption, which read, “It’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil but I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper. [prayer and heart emojis] This battle is not mine, but the Lords, I know that God has got this.”

However, she later changed it to: “Corny joke, time! [heart emoji]”

After deleting his original post amid his rant, Kanye West had also said: “I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I TOOK THE POST ABOUT JAY Z AND BEYONCE’S FAMILY DOWN AND JERRY LORENZO’S FAMILY DOWN BECAUSE THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF MY TWITTER BEING CANCELLED BECAUSE IM A GOOD PERSON. I TOOK IT DOWN LIKE DOWN SYNDROME. GET IT. AM I RIGHT. FUCK THE WORLD. REAL TALK. FUCK EEEEVVEEERREEE BODY.”

He later repeated his disparaging comments and added: “IF TWITTER TAKE MY SHIT DOWN THEM SO BE IT BUT I NEED YALL TO [KNOW] JAY Z OR NOBODY HAVE NO POWER OVER ME.”

He continued attacking the Carters by writing: “AT LEAST JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ GET TO RAISE THEIR RETARDED ASS KIDS.

“AINT NO CELEBRITY EVER SAID NOTHING TO COME TO MY AID WHEN IT CAME TO THESE WHITE WOMEN TAKING MY KIDS. CAUSE THEY WAS MAD I WAS WEARING TRUMP HAT. FUCK JAY Z AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY. ESPECIALLY HIS SHOOTERS.
