Tina Knowles is getting real about how her granddaughter, Blue Ivy Carter, often gets her together about her online presence.
When speaking with Vogue’s “The Run-Through,” the hairstylist revealed that Blue is often her toughest critic when it comes to her social media posts. Mama Tina has become an Instagram influencer of sorts, sharing several posts, jokes and lengthy messages in defense of her children. According to Knowles, Blue sometimes calls her phone to give her a pep talk.
“She’ll say ‘Grandma, that was really wack what you just did. That’s really wack. You should delete that,’” Mama Tina recounted. She laughed it off and stated she rarely takes the young performer’s advice.
Days ago, Tina spoke out in support of Kelly Rowland, who was harassed during the Cannes Film Festival by a white security guard. After Rowland emotionally recounted the experience, Tina jumped to her defense online in an IG post, writing in part, “One silly monkey, don’t stop no-show!!!”
However, some posts have gotten Miss Tina in hot water. Fans believed she was shading Janet Jackson in January after Tina liked an Instagram post that compared Jackson’s ticket prices to Beyonce’s. She clarified that she was in no way throwing a dig at the legendary singer. Tina said she simply hit the like button accidentally.
Clearly, Blue Ivy pays close attention to her grandmother’s online behavior for a reason.
