*Tina Knowles claims her Instagram account was hacked after it appeared she “liked” a post by ABC 7 Chicago about the disturbing rape allegations against her son-in-law, JAY-Z.
As PEOPLE reports, Beyonce’s mother shared a screenshot of a note she wrote that read, “I was hacked! 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!”
She captioned the post with a Bible passage, “Please stop playing with me!!!! ‘No weapon formed against my family shall prosper.’ “
We reported earlier that attorney Tony Buzbee’s recent filing alleges that JAY-Z sexually assaulted a teenage girl at an afterparty in New York City following the MTV Video Music Awards. The lawsuit was originally filed in October, and initially included Diddy as a defendant and referred to JAY-Z as “Celebrity A.” However, on December 8, the case was refiled to identify the hip-hop star as a defendant.
Jigga denies the allegations and said in a statement to Page Six that Buzbee’s strategy is to pressure him into a settlement.

“What [Buzbee] had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect!” he said.
“Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” he stated, further declaring his readiness to fight the accusations publicly.
“My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims,” he said, referring to his 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
Jay-Z criticized Buzbee’s motives, suggesting that the attorney exploits victims’ stories for financial gain: “I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age,” he remarked.
Meanwhile, after defending himself against the shocking rape accusations, Jay-Z stepped out last night for the Los Angeles premiere of Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” with wife Beyoncé, who voices Nala in the film, and Blue Ivy, who voices Kiara. Ms. Tina also joined them, Deadline reports.
