Solange Knowles celebrated her 38th birthday on Monday, June 24, and no one delivers a good tribute quite like her mom, Tina Knowles.

Tina, 70, took to social media the day after her younger daughter's birthday to share the sweetest message for her alongside a throwback of Solange.

Deeming it her daughter's birthday month, she gushed: "This is Solange Knowles birthday month!!!!! Happy Burthday to my little Queen of Art!" 

She continued: "Yes I say queen of Art because everything you do is art actually, you are art, the way you move, the way you dress, the way you decorate, the way you tell the story, your music, your dance, your creations, I could go on and all, but just suffice to say that Sol knows you are a rare beauty put into the universe to give love and create beauty." 

Tina revealed how much Solange enjoyed celebrating her entire birthday month, adding: "Have the best birthday month ever. If anyone knows you, they know you celebrate the whole rest of June. And you absolutely deserve it. Happy birthday, my baby girl, I love you."

Fans adored the tribute, leaving comments like: "mama Tina really pushed out & RAISED nothing but winners," and: "I love me some her, happy birthday angel face," as well as: "Solange is awesome. Exactly everything you said. HBD, Queen of Art."

Solange's son Daniel Julez Smith, 19, also celebrated his mom's birthday by sharing a throwback of hers on his Instagram Stories and writing: "It's ya day. Love you beyond words."
