Jay-Z hugs mother-in-law Tina Knowles after ‘hacker’s’ reaction to rape lawsuit post
Jay-Z exhibited sweet behaviour towards mother-in-law Tina Knowles amid account hack
Jay-Z won’t turn distrustful towards his mother-in-law Tina Knowles.
The rapper made a supportive appearance alongside Knowles at the premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King on Monday night in Hollywood, California, amid the controversy of a post, about him being sued for rape, being liked by her Instagram account.
The event, held at the Dolby Theatre, marked a significant moment as his daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, debuted in her first movie.
The 55-year-old music mogul stood close to his mother-in-law, wrapping his arm around her shoulder as they posed for photos.
Their united front came shortly after Knowles addressed an alleged Instagram hacking incident.
“I was Hacked!” she clarified on social media earlier in the day.
“As you all know, I do not play about my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me, just know that it is not me!”
Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and their eldest child Blue Ivy, 12, shared the spotlight during the event. Beyoncé, 43, who also lends her voice to the Disney film, proudly stood between her husband and daughter as cameras flashed.
The power couple — married since April 2008 — are parents to three children: Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir, 7.
While Jay-Z and Tina Knowles presented a unified front on the red carpet, the moment arrived amid headlines surrounding a civil lawsuit refiled against the rapper.
The lawsuit, brought forward by an anonymous accuser through attorney Tony Buzbee, alleges events dating back to September 2000.
