Tina Knowles says didn't scold granddaughter Rumi during the tour; she protected her
Tina Knowles says didn't scold granddaughter Rumi during the tour; she protected her Even though Rumi Carter is going to shine on her own, Tina Knowles (and the rest of the family) are going to be her protector. And the matriarch made that clear recently. During a stop on her "Matriarch" book tour, the businesswoman, designer and mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles set the record straight on whether she seemingly scolded her 7-year-old granddaughter, Rumi Carter, onstage during a stop on Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" Tour. "People have written all kinds of narratives about it," Knowles said to the event moderator and TV host Gayle King. Like some fans, King noted that the moment was "very funny" with Knowles admitting that the moment reflected "real life." "You know, Grandmas don't play," Knowles jokingly said. In the viral clip, some fans thought Mama Knowles may have given Rumi a grandma's glare. However, Knowles cleared up any misperceptions. "It was just that she was reaching for the mic because she wanted to say something, and I realized that, and she was pulling, and I was like, 'Oh God, that's all that needs to happen, is the mic hits her in the face." Knowles kicked off her nine-city book tour, 'Matriarch: An Evening with Tina Knowles, Family and Friends," on April 30 at the MGM National Harbor Hotel and Casino in the Washington D.C. area. Of course, Beyoncé is currently performing in the New York area on the third leg of her Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, a spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and political commentary. She first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
