Those who follow Beyoncé and Solange’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson on Instagram are already privy to her series, “Corny Joke Time.” It involves the designer doing just that– telling a super corny joke and letting an adorable chuckle out after the punchline.
TooFab got to discuss the series with Ms. Tina, where she revealed its heartwarming origin. According to the report, it began in honor of her late-brother. “He used to always have a corny joke, every-time you saw him,” she told them on the red carpet at Beautycon L.A. this past weekend.
“[The jokes] were terrible, but you laughed anyway, he just made you feel good,” she continued. “One day after he passed away, I said I’m gonna do a joke on Instagram and I thought I’d do it one time, but people’s reaction to it was so great, we just kept going with it.”
VIBE dubbed Ms. Tina an “Instagram Queen” in 2016, after it was announced she was taking a break from the app. A misconstrued post caused her to take a brief hiatus.
Take a look at some of her corny jokes below.
