Tina Knowles is getting a hilarious wake-up call after learning the NSFW meaning behind daughter Beyoncé’s hit “Ego,” 16 years after the song was released.
Knowles shared a video on Instagram Aug. 18 from the “Can I Vibe With Y’all?” podcast, hosted by Cazo Wilborn and Chris Mathis.
As “Ego” begins playing in the clip, the hosts start dancing, singing and laughing to the provocative song.
“Wow, !!!!!!! I just realized that she wasn’t talking about that ego!!!!!! Ohhhhhh Myyyyy!!!!!!!” Knowles captioned the video, adding three crying-laughing emoji.
“I’m serious I really didn’t Know til now!!!!!” she continued. “That’s crazy! Nooo! Really? Maybe not ! I don’t know! What y’all think?”
In the comments section, people shared their thoughts on the song’s double entendre-filled lyrics, such as the chorus that starts, “It’s too big/ It’s too wide/ It’s too strong.”
“Mama T ask (Beyoncé) and let us know how the conversation went,” one person commented with the crying and smiling emoji.
“Crying,” another wrote. “I can see Bey chuckling about this right now!!”
Another commenter seemed to connect the dots right alongside Knowles, writing, “I’m a 45 year old married mother of 4…but I guess I’m super lame cause I was TODAY years old. This post and comments learned me.”
Knowles has been Beyoncé’s biggest supporter over the years, praising her daughter’s groundbreaking tour and embracing her new haircare line.
In April, she looked like one proud mom sporting an iconic look from Beyoncé’s “Renaissance World Tour.”
At a Las Vegas event, Knowles rocked a jumpsuit that resembled denim, paired with matching, attached boots. After sharing a picture to Instagram of her red carpet appearance, the BeyHive quickly noted that the mom appeared to borrow her daughter’s outfit.
Their relationship has been on full display after being highlighted in the singer’s concert movie “Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé.”
In behind-the-scenes clips and documentary-style interviews, Knowles was seen as Beyoncé’s subtle but proud supporter and has come to her daughter’s defense against critics online.
