Tina Knowles is absolutely over the moon!
On Sunday night (June 30), the BET Awards rolled out the red carpet for none other than Blue Ivy Carter, who snagged the YoungStars Award in 2024. And guess what? Tina, at the vibrant age of 70, couldnโt resist taking to Instagram to shower her 12-year-old granddaughter with so much praise it could probably power a small city.
โCongrats my Blue Blue! Iโm totally blown away by your talent, beauty, and smarts, but honestly, itโs your chill vibe thatโs got me over here losing it,โ Tina gushed. โYouโre like a cool cucumber in a freezer, never looking for the spotlight, just out there being your fabulous self. Yesterday, you played the piano for me like youโve been taking lessons since Mozart was a kid, and guess what? Youโre self-taught! Like, how? Are you secretly a prodigy from another galaxy?โ
Tina kept the praise rolling, โOne day, I hope youโll let me post the video and go full grandma brag mode. For now, you made me swear on my last piece of cake not to share ๐. Youโre out here playing sports, ticking piano keys, dancing like youโve got a VIP pass to the talent show of the universe, painting like Picasso, drawing like Da Vinci, and singing like an angel whoโs just auditioned for the celestial choir. Youโve voiced a bestselling childrenโs book, are starring in the next Lion King blockbuster, and scored a Grammy before you even hit teenagehood!โ
She wrapped it up with, โAnd did I mention youโre only 12? Despite all the grown-ups out there battling the green-eyed monster, youโre just out here thriving like a true Carter/Knowles/Beyoncรฉ dynasty champ. Huge shoutout to BET for the award, you deserve it more than my garden deserves rain. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐น๐น๐น๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝโ
Not to be left out of the family cheer squad, Beyoncรฉ also sent her congratulations to Blue, saying, โCongrats to Blue Ivy Carter for winning the 2024 BET YoungStars Award!โ
Oh, and letโs not forget that four years ago, Blue was already breaking records as the youngest winner ever at the BET Awards, alongside Beyoncรฉ, Saint Jhn, and Wizkid, when they won the HER Award for โBrown Skin Girlโ in 2020. What a legacy in the making!
