TMZ caught up with Bey’s mom, Tina Knowles, on Monday and told us her daughter was pretty nervous about her first big show in years, but notes that she nailed it and it’s been a great journey. However, she had less to say about the controversy.

As we reported, Beyonce’s show brought the house down over the weekend when she performed to a packed house at the opening of the new Atlantis resort and reportedly netted $24 million.

The backlash, which Beyonce rarely faces, focused on some in the LGBTQ+ community who felt she was “sold out” by performing in a “homophobic dictatorship.”

Mathew says that’s a narrow-minded view of what happened.
