AceShowbiz - Candace Owens shared a video on Instagram accusing Beyonce Knowles of being paid $10 million to speak at Kamala Harris' rally in Houston. The post has since been flagged and taken down by Instagram due to the lack of factual evidence supporting the claim.
Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mother, responded the next day, strongly defending her daughter and denouncing Owens' allegations. She stated that Beyoncé did not receive any payment for her appearance at Harris' rally and that she had paid for her own flights and expenses.
Calling the accusation "fake news" Tina wrote, "The lie is that Beyonce was paid 10 million dollars to speak at a rally in Houston for Vice President Kamala Harris. When In Fact: Beyonce did not receive a penny for speaking at a Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harrris's Rally in Houston."
While Instagram has removed Owens' viral post, Tina was upset over lack of action by other social media platforms. "Sadly other platforms with a lack of integrity still have it up," she wrote.
Tina condemned the spread of false information and rumors, highlighting their potential to damage Beyonce's reputation and undermine the credibility of Vice President Kamala Harris. She emphasized the need for accountability and the importance of adhering to ethical journalism practices.
She raged, "They are not only lying and disrespecting Beyonce's name but they are trying to further discredit the power of our vice president! When does the lies and rumors stop? Of course you won't see this in the news !!!!!"
