Tina Knowles Credits Blue Ivy Carter for Social Media Guidance

 

Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, might find the complexities of social media a bit daunting, but luckily, she has a capable helper in her granddaughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

In a recent appearance on Vogue's podcast *The Run-Through*, the 70-year-old matriarch shared insights into her Instagram journey, humorously admitting to occasional mishaps. “Blue used to call me to take down my ‘wack’ posts – though I didn’t always listen,” she laughed. Tina also mentioned how Blue and fans have saved her from embarrassing moments, like accidentally liking negative posts about her family.

While Blue Ivy assists her grandmother with social media, her grandfather, Mathew Knowles, has also expressed his pride in her. In a heartfelt Instagram post in March, he praised Blue Ivy’s determination and growth, especially highlighted by her dedication to improving her performance on Beyoncé's Renaissance tour.

“I remember coming backstage in London and asking about you,” Mathew wrote. “Beyoncé replied ‘she is there rehearsing,’ and then I understood why – one of your friends had commented negatively about your first performance on the tour. I was so proud that you wanted to put in the work to get better.”

Mathew lauded Blue Ivy’s spirit and eagerness to learn, adding, “You have already shown the world that you are a force to be reckoned with, and I have no doubt that one day you will continue to astound us all.”

Blue Ivy’s role in navigating her grandmother through the digital age and her own journey of overcoming online criticism showcases her impressive maturity and resilience at just 12 years old. Her family’s support and her proactive approach to challenges reflect the extraordinary Knowles legacy she carries forward.
