Charles Barkley apologized to Beyoncé’s mom for roasting her hometown before roasting it again

Barkley simply couldn’t help himself from immediately roasting Galveston again.

During a recent segment on Inside the NBA, TNT’s Charles Barkley went on an all-time rant about the New Orleans Pelicans.

Shaquille O’Neal casually asked Barkley where the Pelicans were headed once they get eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.

While he likely assumed that his co-host would just say Cancun in Mexico, Barkley instead said something dramatically different that made everyone on set laugh hysterically.

Barkley said that the Pelicans should just drive to Galveston.

He proceeded to roast the quality of the water on he coastal city in Southeastern Texas.

Barkley may not have thought much about the place he decided to insult before he said it on the air. But someone who did think about it quite a bit was Tina Knowles, whose daughter is Beyoncé.

Here is what Tina said on Instagram:

“Chuck we don’t play about Galveston Texas ! You better watch it sucker! 😂😂Our water might not be blue , but it is still the beach and we love it! In fact , what you probably don’t Know is It’s an Island !! Yes me and @angiebeyince still rock our BOI necklaces ( Born On The Island) 😂😂😂. Jay sent this to me and Angie B Yesterday ! He asked us if we’re gonna let him talk about our city like that! 😂😂😂All Good @charleswbarkley we got a great laugh. So yal don’t start no S___T”

Knowles said that “we don’t play” about Galveston and that Barkley better watch out.

She also added that she “got a great laugh” about the roast, so it was all in good fun.

Just to be safe, rather than upset the fans of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Barkley offered a formal apology to Knowles.

“Ms. Knowles: I don’t want that smoke. I don’t want the Beehive and Jay after Chuck. Just know that I apologize.”

But when asked by Ernie Johnson how he liked Galveston now, Barkley immediately said we’re not going there.

Instead of wiping the slate clean, he said he would never go on vacation there and that he would rather visit San Antonio.
