Charles Barkley will say anything, but he finally might have met someone he won’t cross.

The NBA on TNT analyst went after Galveston, Texas, making comments about the dirty water. The former Auburn star suggested the New Orleans Pelicans vacation there once the Thunder eliminate their first-round opponent.

“We’re gonna send them to Galveston, where that dirty a** water wash up on the shore, and people think they at the beach.”

There has been blowback, as you would expect. Where the defense of Galveston came from might surprise you, though.

Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, who grew up in the area, didn’t stand for Barkley’s comments.

“Chuck, we don’t play about Galveston Texas,” she posted to social media. “You better watch it sucker! Our water might not be blue, but it is still the beach and we love it!”

Barkley responded to the comments.

“I don’t want that smoke,” Barkley said. “I don’t want the Beyhive and Jay after me.”
