You know you’re Beyoncé when you’re causing all these conversations.

The ‘Formation’ singer’s mother, Tina Knowles, shut down rumors that her daughter was paid $10 million to speak at a Kamala Harris rally in her hometown of Houston on October 25. The 70-year-old shared a screenshot of a post from the “Candace Owens’ Show” that was “flagged as fake news and deleted on Instagram” to her own Instagram page on Nov. 16.

“It’s called false information,” she wrote. “Unfortunately, other platforms with a lack of integrity still have it.”

The matriarch – who shares ‘Love On Top’ hitmaker and youngest daughter Solange Knowles with ex Mathew Knowles – went on to explain that the message in question was about Beyoncé’s claim that she had received a seven-figure payment during the meeting.

“The lie is that Beyonce was paid $10 million to speak at a rally in Houston for Vice President Kamala Harris,” Tina wrote. “Then in fact: Beyonce did not receive a cent for her speech at presidential candidate Kamala Harrris’ Rally in Houston.”

“In fact, she actually paid for her own flights for her and her team, and total glamour,” she continued. “Not only are they lying and disrespecting Beyonce’s name, but they are trying to further discredit the power of our Vice President!”

Knowles further asked, “When will the lies and rumors stop? Of course you won’t see this in the news!!!!”

John Legend, who appeared alongside Bruce Springsteen at a Harris rally in Philadelphia on October 28, supported the House of Deréon founder in the comments of her post.

“Let them know, Ms. Tina!” he wrote. “We all performed for free because we care about the future of our country.”

Beyoncé also wasn’t the only celebrity accused of receiving compensation for her appearance at one of the vice president’s meetings.

Oprah Winfrey also spoke out about similar rumors, shutting down reports that accused her of receiving a $1 million appearance fee to attend a Unite the Nation event with the vice president in Detroit in September.

“Normally I’m reluctant to comment on rumors in general, but these days I realize that if you don’t stop a lie, it will only grow,” she wrote on Instagram on November 11. ‘I didn’t get paid a cent. time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign.”
