(ThyBlackMan.com) The internet’s always messy, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that Candace Owens thrives in the chaos. This time, she’s stirring the pot over rumors involving Beyoncé, Kamala Harris, and a $10 million payday—a rumor Tina Knowles swiftly shut down. But did that stop Candace? Absolutely not.
Let’s dive into the latest drama, dissect the layers of shade, and explore how Beyoncé continues to rise above it all, proving once again why she’s the Queen Bee.
The Rumor That Sparked It All
It all started when rumors began swirling online that Beyoncé had allegedly been paid a whopping $10 million to back Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in Houston. The story gained traction on social media, with several outlets amplifying the claims. But like many internet rumors, this one didn’t hold water for long.
Enter Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s fiercely protective mother. Taking to Instagram, Tina wasted no time shutting the story down with precision and grace.
“This has been flagged on Instagram as fake news and taken down. It’s called False Information. Sadly, other platforms with a lack of integrity still have it up. The lie is that Beyoncé was paid 10 million dollars to speak at a rally in Houston for Vice President Kamala Harris. When in fact, Beyoncé did not receive a penny for speaking at a Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris’s rally in Houston,” Tina explained.
You’d think that would be the end of it. But for Candace Owens, this was just the beginning.
Candace Owens Fires Back
Never one to shy away from controversy, Candace Owens quickly jumped into the fray, delivering her signature brand of criticism. In a blog’s comment section, Owens didn’t hold back, accusing Beyoncé of playing games and Tina Knowles of enabling her.
“Foremost, Beyoncé needs to stop posting from her burner account. Also, this is not the flex she thinks this is. Foremost—my post literally said ‘allegedly’ and named the multiple publications that reported it. They ALL reached out to confirm the alleged amount, multiple times, to both Beyoncé and Kamala’s campaign and were met with silence,” Candace wrote.
If that wasn’t enough, she took things further, claiming Beyoncé had used her connections at Instagram to have the original posts removed.
“The fact that Beyoncé opted to use her hyper-privileged connections at Instagram to have a post removed makes her a blubbering baby. People share untrue reports on me all the time—do I call Mark Zuckerberg?” Owens added, making it clear she wasn’t going to let this one slide.
But she didn’t stop there. Owens turned her attention to Tina Knowles, shading her for stepping in to defend her daughter. “Sending your literal mama to defend you as opposed to just responding to journalists asking for answers (like Cardi B did when I asked her) is childish af. Cardi answered immediately and I included her response in my show. Beyoncé has gotten so rich, she’s acting st*pid.”
Talk about a low blow. But then again, Candace Owens has built her career on inflammatory remarks.
Candace’s History with Beyoncé
This latest dust-up isn’t the first time Candace Owens has gone after Beyoncé. For years, Owens has criticized the superstar, often under the guise of political or cultural commentary. Whether it’s Beyoncé’s bold statements on race, her celebration of Black culture, or her influence on social issues, Owens has consistently found reasons to take shots at the singer.
One of the most notable instances was when Owens publicly slammed Beyoncé’s Formation performance at the Super Bowl, accusing her of promoting an anti-police agenda. Owens called the performance “divisive” and claimed it sent the wrong message to young women.
The truth is, Candace Owens appears to have a personal vendetta against Beyoncé. While Owens has made a career out of targeting high-profile Black women—Serena Williams, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion have all been in her crosshairs—her fixation on Beyoncé feels especially pointed. Could it be jealousy? Resentment over Beyoncé’s massive influence? Or is it simply a strategy to keep her name trending by going after one of the biggest stars in the world?
Why Beyoncé Remains the Better Woman
Through it all, Beyoncé has maintained her characteristic silence. While some might interpret this as avoidance, those who know Beyoncé’s style understand that her silence speaks volumes. She doesn’t need to respond to Candace Owens because, quite frankly, she’s on a different level.
Time and time again, Beyoncé has shown that she’s above petty drama. She’s focused on her artistry, her philanthropy, and her family. Whether she’s dropping surprise albums, funding scholarships for HBCU students, or championing social justice causes, Beyoncé has proven that her actions speak louder than any words Candace Owens could muster.
By ignoring Owens, Beyoncé is essentially saying, “You’re not worth my time.” And honestly, isn’t that the ultimate power move?
Tina Knowles Steps In
Of course, when it comes to family, Tina Knowles is always ready to step up. Known for her unapologetic defense of her daughters, Tina has never hesitated to call out false narratives. Her Instagram post was a masterclass in shutting down rumors with class and clarity, proving that the Knowles family doesn’t play when it comes to protecting their legacy.
Tina’s response also highlights an important point: not every rumor deserves a direct response from Beyoncé. By addressing the issue herself, Tina allowed Beyoncé to remain above the fray, focusing on what matters most—her work and her fans.
Fan Reactions: Team Beyoncé or Team Candace?
As expected, the internet erupted with reactions to the feud. Beyoncé’s fans, known as the Beyhive, came out in full force, flooding social media with messages of support for their queen.
“Candace Owens needs to sit down somewhere. Beyoncé doesn’t even know she exists,” one fan tweeted.
“Beyoncé is too busy being a legend to worry about Candace Owens. Stay mad, Candace,” wrote another.
On the other side, Owens’ supporters praised her for “speaking truth to power,” claiming that Beyoncé and Tina Knowles should have simply ignored the rumors.
“Candace Owens is fearless. She’s not afraid to call out Beyoncé’s privilege,” one comment read.
The divide between the two camps highlights a broader cultural tension. On one side, you have Beyoncé, a symbol of Black excellence and empowerment. On the other, you have Candace Owens, who has built her brand on criticizing figures like Beyoncé.
What’s Next?
Will Beyoncé or her team respond directly to Candace Owens? Probably not. And honestly, they don’t need to. As Tina Knowles demonstrated, the Knowles family knows how to handle false rumors without stooping to the level of personal attacks.
As for Candace Owens, she’ll likely continue to capitalize on the attention, using this feud to keep her name in the headlines. But at the end of the day, Beyoncé’s legacy is untouchable, and no amount of shade from Owens can change that.
The internet may thrive on drama, but Beyoncé thrives on excellence. While Candace Owens continues to throw stones, Beyoncé remains unbothered, focusing on her art, her family, and her impact on the world.
In the end, this feud says more about Candace Owens than it does about Beyoncé. Because when you’re as successful, influential, and universally loved as Beyoncé, you don’t need to respond to the noise. You just keep winning.
