After Kanye West’s controversial comments about his 7-year-old twin grandchildren went viral, the father of Beyoncé has something to say. In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Knowles didn’t hold back, calling West’s action’s “stupid” and warning that people in the music industry “pay a price” for what they say and do.
In a direct quote, Knowles stated: “People pay a price for being stupid, especially in the music industry.” But his message wasn’t all criticism. He followed up with a note of concern, saying: “I’m hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs, in terms of mental health.”

These comments come shortly after West posted and later deleted disturbing messages questioning the mental capacity of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s twins, Sir and Rumi. The rapper admitted that he didn’t delete the posts out of remorse but rather to avoid having his account deactivated.
What Did Kanye West Say About the Twins?
On Tuesday, Kanye wrote a post on X that many found deeply disturbing. In the post, he directly questioned the mental well-being of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children, prompting public outrage and media backlash. West later explained the reason behind deleting the post was not because he regretted it. Instead, he claimed:
“I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I TOOK THE POST ABOUT JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ’S FAMILY DOWN AND JERRY LORENZO’S FAMILY DOWN BECAUSE THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF MY TWITTER BEING CANCELLED NOT BECAUSE IM A GOOD PERSON.”
This statement only fueled more criticism and added to the growing list of unpredictable behavior from the rapper. While the couple did not publicly respond, sources say they are considering legal action behind the scenes.
Mathew Knowles didn’t mince words when addressing Kanye West’s controversial comments. While he firmly criticized the rapper’s actions, he also encouraged support and understanding around mental health. As the story develops, the world watches to see how Beyoncé and Jay-Z will respond and whether Kanye will take accountability.
