Tina Knowles is a proud grandmother.
After Beyoncé’s 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy became a two-time BET Award winner by taking home the YoungStars Award this past Sunday, Knowles congratulated her granddaughter in a heartfelt Instagram post. (Blue won her first-ever BET Award back in 2020 for working on “Brown Skin Girl” alongside mom Beyoncé; the song would also go on to earn Blue her first-ever Grammy win for Best Music Video the following year.)
“Congratulations my Blue Blue,” Knowles began her note on Instagram. “I marvel at your talent your beauty your intelligence but I am most proud of your kindness and down to earth attitude. Never attention seeking, just cool and chill as a cucumberr all the time.”
She revealed that Blue follows in her parents’ footsteps when it comes to a possessing a natural ability for making music. “Yesterday you played the piano for just me like someone who has been taking lessons for years. But you are self taught,” Knowles continued. “One day I hope you will let me post it and brag like other grandmas get to do. But for now you made me swear to not share 😂.”
