EXCLUSIVE Paul McCartney makes a cheeky enquiry to Tina Knowles about her famous daughter Beyonce as she prepares to kick off UK leg of her tour
Paul McCartney grilled Tina Knowles about what it's like being a mother to superstars Beyonce and Solange during the final night of her conversation tour. The Beatles legend, 82, asked the question via his own daughter, fashion queen Stella McCartney, who was personally asked by the matriarch to be chair for the event, held at London's Southbank Centre on Wednesday night. Stella, 53, saved her dad's question until last, admitting she had not planned to use it, but eventually felt compelled to ask. She said: 'I told my dad today, I called him saying I was really nervous. It sounds awful but normally I'm being asked the questions, this isn't really what I do, I'm doing a conversation with Tina Knowles' and he said 'don't worry just be yourself, you'll be fine.' 'And I was like, no dad, I'm the one asking the questions' and he went ''ah''. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'So I said, 'have you got a question to put to her as my father? He said, 'what's it like being mother to Beyonce and Solange?' Tina, 72, replied: 'It's wonderful - except when people chat s**t about my kids. That's when I want to fight,' sparking rapturous applause from the audience. Stella had gifted Tina a black gown from her clothing label for the event, titled Matriarch: An Evening with Tina Knowles & Guests, where the pair displayed an obvious mutual respect for one another. Tina admitted she 'wore to death' a pair of Stella McCartney stretched jeans while bringing up her superstar daughters - a fashion staple Stella says she 'invented' - while the designer spoke about her desire to nab parenting tips off the businesswoman, especially when it comes to dealing with teenage daughters. Stella has two of them, Bailey, 19, and Reilly, 15, as well as sons Miller, 20, and Beckett, 17. Tina rarely namechecked Beyoncé, and didn't mention her husband Jay-Z once, but did speak up about the Halo singer when discussing her teenage years and the fact she encouraged the diva to go out and be 'wild', as she was a shy child. Indeed, Tina said the same thing about Beyoncé's Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, 44, who she considers as one of her four daughters - the other being songwriter Angie Beyince, 48 - as well as her second biological daughter Solange, 38, who she says didn't need any convincing to have a social life. Tina said: 'Beyonce and Kelly never wanted to go to parties, they never wanted to go out and I was like 'go party, go wild for a minute.' 'With Solange I didn't have to do that so much…' On dealing with Solange in the present day, Tina says she's only just learned how to deal with her. She explained: 'With Solange she needs her space and it took me a long time to understand that I can't push myself onto her and if she doesn't call me back today, I can't say 'girl, you better call me back'. 'She needs her space - she's just different. She has to have her own life and make her own decisions.' Stella and Tina also shared common ground on the subject of breast cancer, given the latter was diagnosed with the condition in 2024, while the fashionista tragically lost her mum Linda to the illness in 1998. Tina recalled her daughter Solange joking 'you've always wanted small boobs, mom' in an attempt to put a 'silver lining' on her diagnosis, which came after she missed a mammogram appointment during the pandemic. She then issued a rallying call to women to get themselves checked, which was encouraged by Stella who revealed herself, sisters and best girl pals get theirs checked together every International Women's Day. Tina said: 'Go get your mammograms, don't put it off.' Tina also opened up about divorcing Beyoncé's father Mathew in 2011 after 31 years of marriage, insisting he was a 'good man', her close relationship with her gay brother Johnny, and how she became Destiny's Child's stylist following an emergency shopping spree from a roadside clothes store in Jamaica. On the latter, she explains: 'They lost their clothes so I was just panicking. 'We went to some roadside place and I got this camouflage stuff, cut it up and made a dress or whatever I could make out of it. 'Then the day came and I realised I didn't have any pants for Kelly, she said 'I didn't even like that skirt', so I saw Pras [Michel] from the Fugees and I said 'take your pants off and give them to Kelly' and they went out there. 'After it was over, Wyclef [Jean] came up to the girls and said 'who styled y'all?' and Beyoncé said 'my mom did' and he said 'yo, she needs to style you all the time' and that's how I became the stylist for Destiny's Child.'

Tina Knowles Talks Beyoncé 'Rivalry' With Solange—'She Wasn't Listening'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tina Knowles spoke out about a "rivalry" between daughters Beyoncé and Solange Knowles on a recent podcast. The Context Tina Knowles and ex-husband Mathew Knowles got married in 1980 and welcomed Beyoncé in 1981 and Solange Knowles in 1986. Beyoncé skyrocketed to fame in the 1990s as the lead singer of the Destiny's Child—whose hits include "Say My Name" and "Survivor"—and later went on to achieve massive success as a solo artist too. Today, she has more Grammy nominations (99) and more Grammy awards (35) than any other artist in history. Solange Knowles is also a talented singer-songwriter and released several albums of her own. She was a backup dancer for Destiny's Child and launched a record label called Saint Records in 2013. In 2016, she won a Grammy for her song "Cranes in the Sky," which took home Best R&B Performance. Solange Knowles (L) and her sister Beyoncé Knowles (R) pose for a portrait during a photo shoot on June 28, 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia. Solange Knowles (L) and her sister Beyoncé Knowles (R) pose for a portrait during a photo shoot on June 28, 2001 in Atlanta, To Know During a special live episode of IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, which was released on Friday, Tina Knowles promoted her new book Matriarch and spoke out about her children. She told host Michelle Obama that things between Beyoncé and Solange once got so tense that she "took them to therapy." Newsweek reached out to Beyoncé and Solange Knowles' representatives via email for comment. "Beyoncé just wanted a little sister so bad, and she just loved Solange and adored her," Tina Knowles said, before noting a change in the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer. "But by the time she got to be 10, she was in that group, and all of a sudden, I just started noticing that the girls in the group would say, 'Shut up, Solange,' because Solange would be in there trying to run things, trying to teach them choreography." "Trying to keep up," Obama chimed in. "Trying to keep up with her sister," Tina Knowles agreed. "Beyoncé started letting them say, 'Shut up, Solange. Be quiet, Solange. Mama, come get Solange.' You know? And I was like, 'This is Solange's house. Y'all are in her house.'" "Don't you love Tina?" the former first lady asked the audience through laughter. Tina Knowles proceeded to tell listeners that she enlisted the help of an outside source when what she was telling them wasn't getting through. "She took these people to therapy. I love that," Obama said. "I did. And you know, I remember some of my relatives saying, 'You're going to make them kids crazy.' But I wanted them to be close, and I didn't want there to be this rivalry, and I didn't want it to be that Beyoncé was not ride or die for her sister first. You don't let somebody do your sister like that," the fashion designer continued. "So I took them to therapy, and I found this young man that was amazing, and he explained it all to Beyoncé because I had been explaining it to her but she wasn't listening." Tina Knowles added that "things got immediately better with them," and while "Beyoncé hated therapy," Solange "loved" it. "Solange kept going. And eventually her therapist passed away and so she stopped going as a kid, but it was just great for them," the House of Deréon founder said. "I used to have to have a Solange day for her because when the kids are not really close together, I think it's way harder. When they're really close together, it's different, but I just didn't want that rivalry. And they have been close ever since." In 2023, Mathew Knowles took to Instagram to speak out about his musically gifted daughters. "When Beyoncé and Solange showed an interest in music at a very young age, Tina and I (who were already corporate professionals and entrepreneurs) didn't attempt to downplay their passions," he said. "Rather, we encouraged them, we guided them, we supported them. As long as they took it seriously and strived to be the best they could, we were happy with whatever career path they chose." He added: "The world needs more people who are connected to their inner ambitions and passions, and are surrounded by those who nurture them. It'll make the world a better place for us all." What People Are Saying In the comments underneath the interview on Spotify, fans praised Tina Knowles and Obama's conversation, as well as he businesswoman's new book. Tamika Patrice wrote: "Love love love the energy, essence and pride these two beautiful Black women embody and radiate to the world. ❤️❤️❤️" aliwanwan said: "Such a wonderful interview. Mama T definitely has her own story to tell and I can't wait to grab a copy for my own mom to read." KariG shared: "For someone so private all this time, this is amazing for her to share. It's beautiful. Can't wait to read! ❣️" Stan posted: "I got the book today! Can't wait to start reading it and learning all about this well spoken and intelligent woman and her journey from beginning to now!" CupcakeGirl added: "I love this interview!"
