Don’t mess with Muva. Despite all of the cheating rumors (and subsequent elevator fiasco with his sister-in-law Solange Knowles), Tina Knowles is quick to come to her famous son-in-law’s defense — especially if you call him outside of his name, case in point: A plane ride that quickly went south. “I can remember getting on a plane and an older white woman saying, ‘Oh, your son[-in-law] is a gangster rapper, right? How did you let him marry your daughter?'” Knowles recalled to People in 2022. Needless to say, Knowles was “happy to educate her” on Jay-Z’s lengthy list of accolades and business acumen. And in the end, the woman apologized for the comment, claiming that was just what she had heard about him. “And I said, ‘Yes, you assume, but you really should go and do some research on it because, no, he’s a CEO of a record label… He’s a very good person. He gives, he helps people.'”
Fortunately, Knowles used the disheartening experience to turn lemons into lemonade by producing a documentary aptly titled “Profiled: The Black Man.” According to Knowles, the premise of the doc was to debunk various stereotypes about Black men. “I hope that many, many people will see this and they will say, ‘Wow, maybe I’ll give people a chance before I judge them because of the color of their skin,'” Knowles told Gayle King during an appearance on “CBS Mornings.”
