Tina Knowles is claiming her social media accounts have been hacked.

On Monday, Dec. 9, a verified Instagram account for Knowles, 70, “liked” an Instagram post from ABC 7 Chicago that shared details of the allegations recently made against her son-in-law Jay-Z.

Hours later, Knowles shared a screenshot of a note she wrote on Instagram 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 then captioned the post, “Please stop playing with me!!!! ‘No weapon formed against my family shall prosper,’ ” referencing a passage from the Bible.

Jay-Z, 55, was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl 24 years ago alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs. In an amended complaint filed on Sunday, Dec. 8, Jay-Z was named as a defendant in a suit, originally filed against Combs in October. A woman who identified herself only as Jane Doe said Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and Combs raped her at an afterparty for the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000, while a third, unnamed female celebrity watched.

The Instagram post liked by Knowles’ account showcased a photo of Jay-Z and Combs with the headline: “Breaking News: Jay-Z, Diddy Named in Lawsuit Alleging Rape of Girl, 13.”

On Sunday, Jay-Z, who married Beyoncé in 2008, released a statement addressing the allegations, which he dismissed as a “blackmail attempt.”

“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case,” he said in a post shared to the official Roc Nation X (formerly Twitter) account.

“You have made a terrible error in judgement thinking that all ‘celebrities’ are the same,” Jay-Z continued. “I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor.”

“We protect children,” the rapper stated. “You seem to exploit people for personal gain. Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable.”

“My only heartbreak is for my family,” Jay-Z, who shares daughter Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7, with Beyoncé, continued.

“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, and explain the cruelty and greed of young people,” he wrote.

“I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.”

“I look forward to showing you just how different I am,” he concluded.

The suit, which originally only named Combs as a defendant, alleges that a woman who identified herself only as Jane Doe was trying to get into the VMAs in New York City the night of the assault. The lawsuit claims that a limo driver for one of the limousines approaching the venue said he worked for Combs and invited her to an afterparty.

The woman was allegedly asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement upon arriving at a residence for the afterparty and was later allegedly drugged after being served a drink. She then claims in her filing to have been “held down by Carter as he vaginally raped her, while Combs and Celebrity B watched. After Carter finished, he stepped back toward the wall. Combs then stepped forward and vaginally raped Plaintiff while Carter and Celebrity B watched.”

Combs is currently behind bars on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. He has been denied bail by a judge while he awaits trial.
