Rumors about the disintegration of Beyoncé and Jay Z's marriage have been running rampant through the press in the last few months, but there's one person who denies that anything is wrong between the two: Tina Knowles, Beyoncé's own mother. In a brief "interview" with TMZ (it was more like a polite ambush out on the street), Knowles assures the public that her superstar daughter's marriage is "perfect."

"Everything's perfect," she says. "Haters are gonna be haters, and there's nothing that we can do about that." When asked if she gets upset by the rumors being spread about her daughter and her marriage, Knowles claims, "I just don't even read the bull, you know?"

Though Beyoncé's mom believes that everything's fine between her daughter and Jay Z (and honestly, she would know better than most people other than Beyoncé and Jay Z), there are plenty of others who aren't so sure. In another TMZ exclusive a few weeks back, R&B singer Akon said that he believed their marriage was "corporate." "Their relationship has been more of a business to the outside world than an actual relationship," he said. "If you don't open up to the public and let people understand...they will naturally speculate, and those speculations are going to be completely opposite, completely wrong of what really be happening. "
