Mathew Knowles, father of Beyoncé, isn’t staying silent after Kanye West’s viral attack on his 7-year-old twin grandchildren, Sir and Rumi.

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Knowles called out the rapper’s actions as “stupid” and issued a stern warning: “People pay a price for being stupid, especially in the music industry.”

But he didn’t stop at condemnation, adding a layer of concern: “I’m hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs, in terms of mental health.”

The rebuke follows West’s now-deleted X posts, where he questioned the mental capacity of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s twins, sparking widespread outrage.

Far from apologetic, Ye later clarified his reasoning: “I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I TOOK THE POST ABOUT JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ’S FAMILY DOWN … BECAUSE THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF MY TWITTER BEING CANCELLED NOT BECAUSE IM A GOOD PERSON.”

While Beyoncé and Jay-Z have yet to comment publicly, sources suggest they’re weighing legal options behind closed doors.

Knowles, meanwhile, didn’t pull punches. His dual message—calling out West’s recklessness while advocating for mental health support—underscores the gravity of the situation.
