Beyonce’s mom Tina Knowles praises Chloe Bailey… one week after ex Mathew dissed the rising star

Beyoncé’s mother Tina Lawson sang the praises of Chloe Bailey, one week after her ex Mathew Knowles dissed the five-time Grammy nominee. 

While complimenting Bailey, 22, Lawson shared a video of the R&B singer as a child playing the younger version of Beyonce, 39, in the 2003 film Fighting Temptations.    

‘How cute and prophetic is this that Chloe played Beyoncé’s character as a child in the movie Fighting Temptations,’ Lawson, 67, captioned a video, which featured Bailey, who is part of the singing duo Chloe X Halle.

She continued: ‘Who would have ever thought that one day Chloe would be signed to Beyoncé’s label?’  

In addition to footage of Bailey, at age four, Lawson shared a photo of the then-child star hugging Beyonce, who was 21 at the time, on set. 

Lawson also noted that her daughter ‘loves and celebrates’ Chloe X Halle and believes they are multi-talented and ‘the sky is the limit for them.’

‘They have only touched the surface of the success to come in their careers!’ she gushed. ‘I first saw them on You Tube. I said there is something that reminded me of Beyonce.’ 

The fashion designer, who is known for establishing the brands House of Deréon and Miss Tina by Tina Knowles, also raved that the girl group has ‘star power.’

She added: ‘I cannot wait to see what these girls will accomplish as they continue to work hard, and persevere, learn from mistakes and triumph over obstacles. Pay their dues!’

Before concluding the sweet caption, Lawson revealed she believes Bailey and Beyonce were ‘destined to meet’ and was proud of her daughter for sharing her resources with Chloe X Halle. 

She signed off: ‘I am so glad they met and will be screaming my support all the way.’ 

Meanwhile, Beyonce’s father Mathew recently became visibly upset to find out people had been comparing his superstar daughter Beyonce to her protégé.

The record executive, 69, could not hide his dismay after he was asked about the comparisons that were being made between Chloe and a younger Beyonce during an interview on the YouTube show, Leah’s Lemonades, last week. 

Mathew called those who compared the two singers ‘idiots’, and even said the concept was an insult to his daughter Beyonce.   

‘People constantly compare Chloe to Beyonce, a younger Beyonce. Do you see the comparison? Like the same thing that you saw in a young Beyonce, do you see that in a Chloe Bailey?’ host Leah A. Henry asked.

‘You gotta be kidding me, right? You asking me that question?’ Mathew asked, clearly perplexed by the question.

‘Yes, I want to know!’ the interviewer replied with a laugh.

Mathew seemed to truly take offense to the question.

‘Are you actually serious that you are comparing that young lady to Beyonce?’

‘People say if there was anyone to play a biopic,’ Leah clarified.

‘Okay if you’re talking about someone was doing a movie,’ he continued.

‘But people compare them!’ Leah insisted.

‘Talent wise!? Are you telling me, talent wise, somebody is an idiot enough to compare her to Beyonce, talent wise?’ Mathew said.

‘They say she is literally like a young Beyonce in the making,’ Leah said.

‘I’m asking you a yes or not question,’ Mathew asked. ‘Are you telling me, someone is an idiot enough to compare her to Beyonce, talent wise?’

‘She’s very talented, but Beyonce is up here,’ she said, raising her hand.

‘Yes or no, are there people saying her talent is equal to Beyonce? They’re an idiot, period.’

‘Well boop. Well there you have it,’ the host said.

‘That’s actually insulting to Beyonce. If you want to call out some Barbra Streisand, some people like that. Come on now, really!?’

‘Chloe is talented,’ Leah said.

Mathew was so upset by the question he even insisted on ending the topic of conversation.

‘I want to get off this topic. I don’t even want to talk about it,’ he said.

Beyonce nurtured the Chloe and her sister Halle to fame by signing them to her Parkwood label in 2016.

Four years later, she presented the duo, Chloe x Halle, with a Billboard Women In Music Rising Star Award.

‘Ladies, I am so, so proud you,’ she told her proteges as she presented the award to them in December 2020.

‘You’ve done this, with authenticity, with grace, with raw talent, and you’ve managed to shine in every room you enter. And I’ll always love you.’
