Tina Knowles-Lawson is shedding gentle on the dangerous stereotypes Black males usually face in her new docuseries “Profiled: The Black Man.” Whereas discussing the sequence on Thursday’s episode of “CBS Mornings” with Gayle King, Beyoncé and Solange’s mom, recalled an uncomfortable encounter she as soon as had with a white girl on a airplane.
“I can keep in mind getting on a airplane and an older white girl saying, ‘Oh, your son is a gangster rapper, proper? How did you let him marry your daughter?'” Tina mentioned, referencing Jay-Z, who’s married to Beyoncé. “It was simply stunning to me and I mentioned, ‘No, truly, my son is a CEO.’ She did not consider him as a CEO, or perhaps a gifted movie star that was an ideal businessman. At the moment, I keep in mind pondering, ‘I am unable to be mad at her, as a result of that’s what the media portrays.'”
Along with being a CEO and proud father of three, Jay-Z turned the primary hip-hop artist to ever develop into a billionaire in June 2019. His spectacular portfolio contains profitable investments in corporations like Tidal, Roc Nation, and his D’Ussé cognac.
Knowles-Lawson is the manager producer of the four-part Discovery+ docuseries, which is hosted by Tristan “Mack” Wilds. “Profiled: The Black Man” premieres on Feb. 12.
