Tina Knowles couldn’t be more proud of her granddaughter, Blue Ivy Carter. After the 12-year-old won the YoungStars Award at the 2024 BET Awards, Tina shared her joy on Instagram on Monday, July 1.
Tina’s Tribute to Blue Ivy
“Congratulations my Blue Blue! I marvel at your talent, your beauty, your intelligence, but I am most proud of your kindness and down-to-earth attitude,” Tina wrote. “Never attention-seeking, just cool and chill as a cucumber all the time.”
Tina highlighted Blue Ivy’s many talents, from dancing “like a pro in front of 80k people” at Beyoncé’s concerts to being “one of the youngest recipients of a Grammy Award.” She continued, “And you turned only 12 years old a few months ago. Despite all the challenges, you stay motivated. Congratulations BIC, you deserve everything you work hard to get.”
Continuing the Celebration
Tina’s admiration for Blue Ivy’s accomplishments isn’t new. In December, she celebrated a mother-daughter moment at the Renaissance World Tour concert film premiere. Blue Ivy wore a sleek black one-shoulder Versace gown, matching her megastar mom, Beyoncé. Tina shared, “This has me in tears right now. To the fans that are there uplifting this beautiful, talented 11-year-old, I thank you. I appreciate you.”
The YoungStars Award at the BET Awards 2024, held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, is just another testament to Blue Ivy’s rising star. Parkwood Entertainment also celebrated the win on Instagram: “Congratulations to Blue Ivy Carter on winning the 2024 BET YoungStars Award!”
Within hours, Tina Knowles, ever the supportive grandma, praised her grand daughter in the comments. “Congratulations to Blue Blue, our little superstar in the making,” she wrote, accompanied by heart and fire emojis. Tina’s pride in her granddaughter’s achievements shines through her heartfelt words and public displays of affection.
