Tina Knowles Responds To Accusations She Shaded Janet Jackson's Ticket Prices

Tina Knowles is hitting back against rumors she shaded Janet Jackson after liking a post complaining about the legendary singer overcharging fans for the second leg of her Together Again tour.

The drama began earlier this week when one of Knowles’ friends criticized ticket prices for Jackson’s upcoming shows, comparing packages to Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour.

“What a joke,” Knowles’ friend wrote alongside a screenshot of Janet Jackson’s $2,000+ VIP seating options. “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. You want Beyoncé 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.”

Knowles began trending after social media users noticed she liked the post and theorized that Bey’s mom was being shady.

However, in a video Tuesday, Tina Knowles denied the gossip and said she “would never criticize” Janet Jackson, hailing her as the “Queen of Production.”

“I stay away from negativity,” she added. “I you follow me then you know that I am not involved in the mess. What I am guilty of is liking posts, going through when I’m in a big hurry and I don’t have time to really read and liking things because I trust that these are people that I follow.”

Ultimately, Knowles admitted she made “a big mistake” and vowed to “never do that again.”

She doubled down in the caption, insisting “Janet Jackson is an icon,” and noting that she “opened doors for Beyonce.”
