Charles Barkley’s recent comments on Galveston, Texas, have stirred up controversy yet again, drawing both ire and amusement from fans and locals alike. Barkley’s remarks, made during TNT’s Inside the NBA segment, prompted a swift response from none other than Tina Knowles, the mother of music icon Beyonce, who hails from Galveston.
“Repost from @angiebeyince 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.”

The outspoken NBA analyst, known for his candid remarks, found himself in hot water after jokingly suggesting that the New Orleans Pelicans should vacation in Galveston instead of Cancun due to their playoff woes. Faced with potential backlash from the BeyHive, Barkley wasted no time in issuing a public apology to Knowles, expressing his reluctance to draw the wrath of the superstar’s devoted fan base.
“Miss Knowles, I don’t want that smoke. I don’t want the BeyHive and Jay after Chuck. Miss Knowles, I apologize.”
“We’re not going there.”
“Oh, hell no I ain’t going on vacation. Let me tell you something: that water’s so dirty, I’d rather go to San Antonio. I’d rather go to San Antonio with them big ol’ women.”

However, despite his apology, Barkley remained steadfast in his criticism of Galveston, refusing to retract his earlier statements. When pressed by his co-hosts about his sentiments towards the coastal city, Barkley maintained his stance, indicating that he had no intention of visiting anytime soon.
In typical Barkley fashion, he couldn’t resist taking a swipe at another Texas locale, namely San Antonio, infamous for its river walk and, according to Barkley, its “big ol’ women.” This quip further fueled the ongoing banter between Barkley and the city’s residents, adding another chapter to their long-standing feud.
Barkley’s penchant for stirring the pot is nothing new, with his commentary often toeing the line between humor and controversy. His verbal jabs at various cities and communities have become a staple of his on-air persona, drawing both criticism and amusement from viewers.
As Barkley’s comments continue to reverberate across social media, it remains to be seen how his remarks will be received by fans and residents alike. Whether it’s Galveston, San Antonio, or any other city in his crosshairs, one thing is certain: Charles Barkley’s unfiltered opinions are bound to spark conversation wherever he goes.
