AceShowbiz - Tina Knowles has refuted a viral statement attributed to her in response to Dolly Parton's comments on Beyonce Knowles' CMA award snub. The controversy began with Parton's comments to Variety, where she suggested that Beyonce's album "Cowboy Carter" may not have been nominated because she had not dedicated her entire career to country music. This sparked outrage among Beyonce's fans, prompting a supposed response from her mother, Tina Knowles.
The alleged statement read, "Oh Ms. Dolly, we love you, but Bey did spend her WHOLE life workin' hard, since she was 9! She got country roots too. She's mastered her craft and broken records in EVERY genre." It dismissed Parton's suggestion that Beyonce hadn't spent her life in country music.
However, Knowles took to The Neighborhood Talk's comment section to clarify that the message was not hers. "This is fake not from me!" she wrote.
Despite Knowles' denial, some fans remain skeptical, as they believe the statement reflects her sentiments. The incident has fueled further controversy surrounding Beyonce's snub, with fans calling out the CMAs for allegedly excluding her due to her lack of a dedicated country music focus.
It remains to be seen whether Knowles will address the situation further, and whether Beyonce will receive any recognition from the CMA in the future.
