She’s still a fox, but Tina Lawson wanted to show off a nearly-20-year-old photo of herself just for kicks. The mother to Beyoncé and Solange Knowles decided that it didn’t need to be a Thursday in order to share a throwback photo, so she took to her Instagram page to post a picture of herself from 18 years ago.

In it, Tina is laid across a black couch as she poses, looking off into the distance in her animal print jumpsuit. “I am 38 on this photo ! Took it on my lunch break from the salon with 6 people under the dryer with wraps , And used to take a couple hours to dry,” Tina wrote in the caption. “I still love leopard My Girls used to hate it! Thats why i loved Cookie Lyons so much! Yes I was Cookie Lyons before there was a Cookie Lyons. With my animal prints. @tarajiphenson ?❤️❤️??.”

She looks strikingly similar to Beyoncé in the photo, and plenty of people commented how much they loved the image including Kandi Burruss, Trina, Naomi Campbell, Vanessa Williams, and many more. Maybe Beyoncé should recreate this picture of her mom? We’ll have to wait and see. Check out the snapshot of Tina Lawson below.

Considering Beyoncé “got this shit from Tina” in the first place, it was only right that the “Savage (Remix)” matriarch gave the viral TikTok dance challenge a shot—in her own way. Following the massive success of Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion‘s remix of the latter’s “Savage,” it didn’t take long for those dancing youths on TikTok to come up with a corresponding routine with choreography ten timers harder than that of the original. The remix challenge is just that—challenging—which is why the 66-year-old decided to come up with her own moves to her eldest daughter’s track.

“Haaaa!!!” Tina wrote on the video. “Yeah i know they didn’t get their dance moves from me !! They got em from their daddy! Its okay i still like to dance!!!!! And i got two new knees.” Tina’s choreo proves to be much simpler and easier to follow than that of the #SavageRemixChallenge, consisting mostly of just swaying back and forth with some hand motions. However, when Bey’s line “If you don’t jump to put jeans on/Baby you don’t feel my pain” plays, Tina decides to demonstrate this action with a tight grip and a hop.

Although she’s appreciative of her shoutout on the wildly popular remix, Tina has confessed that she doesn’t quite understand what “savage” actually means.

Beyoncé’s whole family, including her mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, and sister, Solange Knowles, have tested negative for the coronavirus, meaning they may be able to spend Mother’s Day together as usual. On Friday, Mama Tina sat down for a virtual chat with Tamron Hall to discuss what she’s been up to since the coronavirus pandemic started. During the interview, she revealed that her whole family, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z and their three kids as well as Solange and her son, has in fact been tested for the respiratory virus, and that the results came back negative across the board.

“We all got tested,” Tina shared. “We’ve gotten the results back and everybody is okay, and so I hope that we can get together this Mother’s Day and have dinner together — and I can actually touch them for real.” Tamron then asks her how difficult it’s been to be apart from her daughters and grandchildren. “It makes me sad,” Tina confessed, “especially on Sundays, ’cause that’s the day we all get together. So on Sunday mornings, I got the blues.”

Tina also spoke about the work she’s been doing in partnership with Beyoncé and her BeyGOOD initiative to encourage folks in Houston to get themselves tested. The mother-daughter duo launched the #IDIDMYPART campaign, a mobile testing relief effort that will bring in medical center staffers to administer 1,000 free tests to Houstonians, as well as offer essential vitamins, household supplies and personal protective equipment.

Currently challenging for the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 next week, Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé have a total hit on their hands with the "Savage" remix. The track was already booming before it got picked up by Queen Bey, going viral on social media with a dance challenge. Now, it's looking set to become Megan's first-ever #1 record and she has Beyoncé to thank.

On the song, the legendary singer shows her own savage side, rapping about her ass with a couple of select bars. 

"I'm a boss, I'm a leader, I pull up in my two-seater/And my mama was a savage, n***a, got this shit from Tina," she spits on the remix. Earlier on, she bragged about her backside, making this line pretty clearly about the good genes that run in her family.

Apparently, Tina Knowles-Lawson didn't get the memo because she thinks it's about her philanthropy and "cool mom" status, according to her latest interview with CBS News.

Beyoncé's mother was on air to speak about what she and her daughter have been doing during the COVID-19 crisis, also reacting to the song's lyrics. When asked if she believes that the "Savage" line is about her philanthropy, she answered in the affirmative.

"As far as the 'Savage' is concerned, you know, it's funny because people started texting me and calling me a savage. I wasn't sure what it meant," she admitted. She continues by saying that she used to pick up Bey from school in a convertible and that people thought she was a "cool mom," which makes her draw a parallel to the "Savage" lyrics. Somehow, that makes sense. However, the majority of Bey's verse is about ass so... idk.

Please, nobody tell her what it's actually about...

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected more than just jobs and universities– it affects how we see our family and our friends, it affects birthday celebrations, weddings, funerals– just about any type of IRL gathering now has to be re-invented. Many people are finding unique ways to celebrate special days with their loved ones– whether it be by way of a Zoom conference call, or a drive-by party– people are still doing their best to get together and spend time virtually with the people they love.

Tina Knowles, aka Beyonce‘s mother, recently spoke with Entertainment Tonight about Bey’s big remix on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” which incidentally includes a shout out to mama Lawson. The mother of Queen Bey also revealed how the family managed to get all together, including Beyonce and Jay-Z’s twins, Sir and Rumi Carter.

“The two babies that are 2, they don’t really understand, so on Saturday we got together from a safe distance, we all went to Bey’s at a distance,” Tina revealed. “We all got tested, Kelly was there, and I got to see my grandchildren from afar and it was hard. That’s been the hardest part about this.”

As far as getting a shout out by her daughter on the “Savage” remix, Tina says, “That was really, really cute. People started texting me [saying,] ‘Ok, savage,’ and I was like, ‘What are they talking about?’”

She added, “It’s funny, when I was young, I used to drive a convertible and I used to drive up to Beyoncé’s school and she would say, ‘Mama, you are a hot mama.'”

Blue Ivy Carter is making sure that everyone knows just how important it is to wash their hands in order to get rid of germs, especially during a global pandemic. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's eldest offspring took it upon herself to show the world what can happen if you don't wash your hands properly, using an effective visual aid to really get the point across. Blue's grandmother, Tina Knowles, posted her 8-year-old granddaughter's science experiment on Instagram, in which Blue uses a bowl of water and pepper to represent of the COVID-19 virus microbes.

My brilliant granddaughter Blue did this experiment to show how washing your hands fights the virus . ❤️??

"My brilliant granddaughter Blue did this experiment to show how washing your hands fights the virus," Tina wrote on the post. Blue begins the sanitation demonstration by greeting her viewers, explaining exactly what she'll be doing today. "Hey y'all," Blue says, as the camera captures an overhead shot of a bowl of water and pepper. "While we're stuck at home, I have this little DIY experiment that you can do at home too. This is why it's important to wash your hands." She proceeds to dip her finger into a ramekin full of "a mixture of a lot of different types of soap." Blue then takes the same finger and puts it into the bowl of water and pepper, causing the pepper particles to rapidly spread toward the outer edges of the bowl.

"This is why it's very important to wash your hands," Blue says. "Because if you wash your hands, your hands will stay clean, but if you keep your hands dirty, you might get sick. So, peace out. I hope you guys are staying safe, wash your hands extra, and please stay at home. Love y'all, bye." You heard the girl: wash your hands everyone!

Of all the accomplishments Ms. Tina Knowles is known for throughout her longstanding career, her social media followers love her for those corny mom jokes. Beyoncé and Solange’s mother likes to take to social media ever so often and deliver chuckle-worthy-yet-eye-rolling jokes for her followers, but because the internet is what it is, she can’t avoid people who decide to hop online to spew a few nasty remarks.

“Did you hear about the corduroy pillows?” Tina asked in her video before giving the joke’s punchline. “Yeah, they’re making headlines! Headlines on your head when you lay on it.” You know, because no joke I complete without an immediate explanation. While Tina Knowles thought her line was funny, an Instagram user thought this would be the perfect time to put Tina in check.

“Girl, take them bangs and disappear with your daughter and grandchildren for a little while,” the woman commented. “We don’t need this right now.” Tina took a few quarantined moments to reply. “First of all i am not a girl . So try to conjure up a little respect and secondly if you don’t need it then get off my page and go where you like what you see,” Tina stated. She ended things by writing, “With love.” Check out Tina Knowles giving her classy clap back below.

There’s been a bit of speculation about what’s really going on between Tiffany Haddish and Common. The pair have been photographed together over the last few months, and the gossip train has continued to chug on by, spreading rumors about the pair’s secret relationship. Recently, Tiffany Haddish shared a photo of herself and Common after they visited a painting class, and Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles commented, “Beautiful couple” with a red heart. The message further fueled the gossip fire, but during her visit to The Real, Tiffany addressed the rumors.

“That’s my friend, he been my friend for a while,” Tiffany said. However, if the rapper wanted to change things, the actress is open to it. “But if he wants to date me, I will date him!” Tiffany puts Jeannie Mai, who’s dating Jeezy, on the spot and asked her help on snapping an emcee. “Give me some advice, how do you date a rapper?”

After the hoots and claps subsided, Jeannie told Tiffany that if she really wanted to go out with a rapper, she just has to make sure she’s selective. “Before you worry about what they gotta do, make sure you got your eyes on the right one,” Jeannie Mai said. “‘Cause it’s not just any of ’em.” Tiffany quipped that she sees that Jeannie and Jeezy “are on bikes and stuff” and “going to Jamaica.” It’s apparently a vast difference from the rappers Tiffany used to date because she claims they’re all in jail. Check out the funny clip below.

After recently finding out that her dad is an Eritrean Jew, famed comedienne Tiffany Haddish took the liberty to completely embrace the religion of her patriarch as any newfound Jew would: have a Bat Mitzvah! She went a step further though and had herself a "Black Mitzvah," which she was more than happy to break down during her most recent visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! yesterday night (Jan 6).

Last night was one of the best days of my life. I had so much fun. Thank you to everyone that came out to support one of my Dreams. Thank you @netflixisajoke for being a great partner and helping to my dream come true. #SHEREADY

A post shared by Tiffany Haddish (@tiffanyhaddish) on Dec 4, 2019 at 12:15pm PST

While the entire night looked pretty lit to say the least by the looks of her Instagram post on the night of (seen above), there was one special moment that stood out for her, and of course it involves none other than Beyoncé — well, more like Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson, but still. While speaking with Kimmel on the subject of gift-giving, Tiffany said, "Beyoncé’s mom gave me the most beautiful Bible. Ms. Tina gave me the most beautiful Bible with this cross on it and everything, and I was like, is she trying to say, ‘Hey! You know you black, right?’"

Of course, many of you might be wondering how a person who birthed the biggest pop star in the world at the moment could be so off in terms of the religions, but the Bible did come with a diamond-clad crucifix so we guess it just balances out overall. Tiffany did make light of the gift from Ms. Tina, joking stating, "I read from that and the Torah everyday. I read from both. They start out the same." If it works for you, it works for us, too!
