Tina Knowles is coming out swinging in defense of her daughter Beyoncé … who has been inaccurately accused of being paid millions to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Knowles matriarch shut down the rumor as a bunch of hogwash with a pointed Instagram post Saturday, where she made it clear the singer attended the VP’s Houston rally on her own accord.
She wrote … “So this has been flagged on Instagram as fake news and taken down. It’s called False Information.”
As Tina continued, she called out other platforms for having a “lack of integrity” for continuing “the lie” that the Grammy winner was paid $10 million for the appearance.
She added … “When In Fact: Beyonce did not receive a penny for speaking at a Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harrris’s [sic] Rally in Houston. In fact she actually paid for her own flights for her and her team, and total Glam.”
10/26/24Tina then slammed the rumor as an attack on both Beyoncé’s and Harris’ names.
John Legend — who also campaigned on behalf of the VP before her election loss to Donald Trump — applauded Tina for her remark and confirmed that all artists “performed/appeared for free because we care about our nation’s future.”

Oprah Winfrey faced a similar accusation after Harris lost the election — despite her massive amount of A-list endorsements.
As TMZ previously reported … Oprah said she “was paid nothing” to host Harris’ “United for America” town hall after it was alleged her company received $1 million for the gig.
Looks like these celebs want to be excluded from this false narrative.
