He captioned the clip: “Some social media users are accusing #Beyonce of being a #KimKardashian lookalike after her recent Renaissance premiere. What do you think about this?’

The backlash against Beyoncé started after the 42 year old superstar turned out to have lighter skin and also wore a platinum blonde wig in a photo taken during her performance at the film premiere of the Renaissance Concert in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Shortly after the appearance, online trolls had suggested the hitmaker was ‘white now’, while others complained that ‘she’s not a black woman!’

Nick wasn’t the only celebrity to speak out in support of the Grammy winner, as her mother Tina Knowles took to the ring to clap back at her daughter’s vile critics.

“I’m tired of people attacking her,” Knowles wrote in a lengthy caption on the video, denying commenters’ concerns.

She also compared her daughter’s outfit to styles worn by black entertainers dating back at least as far as Etta James.

“I came across this today and decided to post it after seeing the whole stupid, ignorant self, hating racist statements about hair, lightening her skin and wearing platinum hair that wanted to be white,” Knowles began her lengthy caption.

She explained that Beyoncé’s look was solely for her renaissance documentary, “where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet and silver clothes and you idiots decide she’s trying to be a white woman and bleaching her skin? ‘

Nick and Kim had a brief relationship in 2006

“How sad it is that some of her own people continue the stupid story with hatred and jealousy,” she seethed. “Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!’

She accused her daughter’s critics of perpetuating “jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards” instead of “celebrating a sister or just ignoring her if you don’t like her.”

Among those supporting Knowles in the comments were Insecure star Issa Rae, who cheered: “Go away!”

Robin Thede added: “LET THEM KNOW!!! The Queen has been nothing but supportive of Black women and literally dedicates everything she does to breaking down barriers for us in every arena!

“She is a philanthropist, a mentor, a leader and a trailblazer. She is a FASHION ICON and anyone who doesn’t understand that she can use any color of the rainbow to create a look is kicking stones!’ she continued. ‘Don’t delete your message! Leave it alone so people can remember that you and your daughters are REAL PEOPLE who did nothing to deserve the nasty things that miserable idiots write! I’m done with it!’

“@mstinaknowles You raised beautiful, strong, intelligent black, PROUD TO BE BLACK women. Period,” she wrote in the comments. ‘Anyone who says otherwise has their own problems. “I’m sorry you’ve come across the negative comments that people don’t realize are a reflection of how they feel about themselves.”
