Beyonce’s father, Mathew Knowles, has refuted former President Donald Trump’s accusations saying that she was booed at a recent Kamala Harris rally in Houston.

 Beyonce Knowles‘s father, Mathew Knowles, has come to her defense after Donald Trump falsely claimed that she was booed during her appearance at a Kamala Harris rally in Houston. Speaking to TMZ, Mathew unequivocally denied the allegations, stating, “I can unequivocally say no one was booing. That’s just a lie.” He emphasized that individuals have the right to their perspectives but not to distort facts.

Trump’s claims stem from Beyonce’s attendance at the rally alongside Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland, where she expressed her support for Harris. According to Trump, who spoke at a rally in Michigan, Beyonce’s appearance was met with boos from the crowd. “Beyonce went up and spoke for a couple of minutes and then left,” he said. “The place went crazy and booed the hell out of everybody. They thought she was going to perform.”

Multiple attendees at the Harris rally have since refuted Trump’s claims. Footage circulating on social media also shows that Beyonce was not booed. Tina Knowles, Beyonce’s mother, introduced the singers to the stage, praising them as “the best jobs.”

During her speech, Beyonce advocated for women’s rights and the importance of voting. Rowland also addressed the crowd, emphasizing the need to “grab back the pen from those who are trying to write an American story of division and hatred.” Harris’ campaign has adopted Beyonce’s hit song “Freedom” as its theme.
