Beyonce’s mother has defended the star against “racist” accusations she lightened her skin for the premiere of her movie Renaissance.

Tina Knowles said she had seen “stupid, ignorant, self-hating racist statements” about Beyonce “lightening her skin” and “wearing platinum hair wanting to be white”.

The mother-of-two, in a statement posted on Instagram, said she was “sick and tired of people attacking her”

after critics took to social media to condemn Beyoncé’s premiere look of platinum blonde hair and a silver corseted dress with matching gloves, against a glittery silver backdrop.

She insisted the movie premiere’s theme was silver, including “silver hair, a silver carpet, and silver attire” and denounced the critics as “bozos”

She added: “How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy.”

Ms Knowles said Beyonce would be “p***** at me for doing this, but I am fed up” as her lengthy statement was coupled with a photo montage of her daughter and her 2019 hit Brown Skin Girl.
