Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, has come to the defense of her youngest children, Rumi and Sir, following Kanye West’s offensive comments about them. In a now-deleted post on Tuesday, March 18, West questioned the mental capacity of the 7½-year-old twins, sparking backlash. Beyoncé, 43, and Jay-Z, 55, are also parents to 13-year-old Blue Ivy. Knowles, 73, spoke out against West’s remarks in an interview with TMZ, emphasizing the price of ignorance in the music industry and expressing hope that West receives the mental health support he needs. Knowles’ comments follow a statement by his ex-wife, Tina Knowles, who defended their family on Instagram. Beyoncé has previously shared her commitment to providing her children with normalcy and privacy, prioritizing boundaries and protecting her family’s well-being.
