AceShowbiz - Tina Knowles has defended herself for liking a shady post about Janet Jackson. The mother of singer Beyonce Knowles insisted that she liked the post about the prices of the "Doesn't Really Matter" hitmaker's concert tickets without reading it.
The mother of the 42-year-old superstar made a clarification in a video that she released via Instagram on Tuesday, January 23. She stated, "First of all, I know better than anyone what a great production costs and that is expensive. And I would never criticize another artist let alone Janet Jackson, who is the queen of production. And her family, I always have been and always will respect them."
Tina went on to say, "Secondly, I stay away from negativity. If you follow me then you know that I am not involved in a mess." She then admitted, "What I am guilty of is liking posts when I'm in a big hurry and I don't have time to really read. And liking things because I trust the things and people I follow. That was a big mistake. I would never do that again. So I just want you to hear from my mouth that I would absolutely never do that."
Along with the footage, Tina further explained in the caption of the post, "I am saddened by this. Janet Jackson is an icon and I would never question another artist. I took Destiny's Child to see Janet when they were 15 years old . They always looked up to her and she opened doors for Beyonce. Why would I hate on her ?"
Tina continued, "I know now not to be in a rush and to be very careful. (I learned my lesson) ! Especially when I have so much going on.. I just wanted to clarify. . I do know that you can see people's likes so I would be pretty dumb to do that," adding a slew of red heart emojis.
The clarification came shortly after Tina liked a post created by her pal, who goes by the name @let68, about Janet's $2,000+ "Meet & Greet & VIP Lounge Packages." In the caption, @let68 wrote, "What a joke… They add $1000 for a 15 second meet & greet again."
"No front row for fans unless you want to bend over so they can continue to rake in the cash," the user continued. "You want Beyonce prices, have real production. Just disgusted. I'm not the only one... oh the DMs I'm getting. Way to thank your fans for years of support."
