Tina Knowles has taken aim at people who accused her daughter Beyoncé of ‘lightening her skin’.

Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé’s premiere was held on Saturday night in Los Angeles and fans were stunned by the superstar singer’s appearance.

Beyoncé, 42, wore a jaw-dropping silver Versace dress to the star-studded premiere alongside a platinum blonde wig and her look was the subject of internet chatter aplenty.

Responding to some of the comments floating around, Tina, 69, posted a lengthy statement on Instagram in which she called out ‘racist’ comments about her daughter.

Her upload was set to Bey’s hit song Brown Skin Girl.

Doting mum Tina wrote: ‘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 went on: ‘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’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?’

‘Duh,’ continued Tina.

‘She wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!’

Mum-of-two Tina went on to say that she was ‘sick and tired’ of people ‘attacking’ Beyoncé, who she said ‘minds her own business … helps people whenever she can [and] lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times’.

The pop icon has stunned audiences around the world with her Renaissance world tour.

Fans who weren’t able to get their hands on tickets got a second chance when it was announced a concert documentary would be released in cinemas, similar to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie.

Needless to say, last week’s premiere for Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé was a star-studded affair, with the likes of Lizzo, Issa Rae and Tyler Perry all stepping out to support Queen Bey.

Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé gives fans a glimpse inside the epic world tour which took Bey – and often her daughter, 11-year-old Blue Ivy – to 39 cities across the world for 56 dates.

It was reported to have made $579 million (£454 million) thanks to the over two million fans who bought tickets.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Beyoncé’s reps for comment.
