In the upload, Knowles-Lawson reposted a fan’s clip from the 2003 film “The Fighting Temptations” starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyoncé. The scene shows Chloe, who plays a younger version of Beyonce’s character, talking about how she wants to marry Michael Jackson while hanging out in front of a church.

Who would have ever thought that one day Chloe would be signed to Beyoncé’s label (right pictured with Beyonce). Beyonce loves and celebrates The talent of Chloe and Halle 100 percent. hard-working, super multi-talented, and the sky is the limit for them. They have only touched the surface of the success to come in their careers!”

The 67-year-old concluded the statement by shouting out her daughter for “unselfishly” sharing her “resources” with Chloe and Halle. Knowles-Lawson also expressed how she will always support the group no matter what. 

Hours following the initial post, Chloe thanked Knowles-Lawson for her kind words and support. The “Do It” singer said, “this means so so so much! love you ms. tina ❤️❤️.” Many also fans praised Knowles-Lawson for her post. One went as far as to mention her ex while writing that his opinion regarding Chloe doesn’t matter.

“Queen Tina I love how you stand up for those you love!! The original Queen 🐝. You’re amazing. ❤️”

“Beautifully said Mama Tina ❤️”

“What she wanted to say was shut up Matthew nobody cares what you think!”

Mathew Knowles made headlines on March 3 after he appeared on an online show where he called fans idiots for saying that Chloe reminded them of a younger Beyoncé. He said, “You got to be kidding me, right? You asking me that question? Are you actually serious that you are comparing that young lady to Beyoncé? Are you telling me talent-wise somebody is an idiot enough to compare her to Beyoncé? That’s actually insulting to Beyoncé.”

Following that interview, Chloe’s sister Halle defended the 22-year-old by sharing a series of tweets. She wrote, “How amazing is it that @ChloeBailey is already an icon.” Halle concluded her tweet by telling her fans she will always “ride” for Chloe. “I ride for my sister till the enddd okayyyy.”
