Beyonce’s seven-year-old daughter feels “powerful” on stage with her mom.
The ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ hitmaker’s eldest child, 13-year-old Blue is a dancer on her ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour, and her younger sibling Rumi also steps out on stage during the 43-year-old megastar’s performance of ‘Protector’, and Beyonce’s mom Tina Knowles admitted the youngster loves being in the spotlight.
According to E! News, Tina said while on her tour promoting her autobiography ‘Matriarch’ in Brooklyn, New York, earlier this week: “You know my granddaughter Rumi told me, I said, ‘How do you feel when you wave and everybody screams?’
She said, ‘It feels powerful.’ I was like, ‘Oh. I see what you mean.’”
Tina recently joined her family on stage when Beyonce – who also has Rumi’s twin brother, Sir, with husband Jay-Z – called her up to celebrate her memoir reaching number one on the New York Times’ bestsellers list, but the matriarch stepped in to stop her young granddaughter when she was seen reaching up towards her mother.
But Tina insisted that, despite appearances, she wasn’t scolding Rumi.
She explained: “It was real, it was real life. Grandmas don’t play.
“No, it really wasn’t that. It was just that she was reaching for the mic because she wanted to say something, and I realised that. But she was pulling, and I was like ‘Oh God, that’s all that needs to happen is that the mic hits her in the face, and they say ‘Oh, Beyonce hit her in the face.’ “
Tina enjoyed taking to the stage alongside Beyonce, Blue and Rumi.
She said: “I got to be on there with her, and Blue and Rumi that made it special.
“It was from a different perspective. I mean I’m usually behind the stage. But it was actually fun, it was exciting.”
While Tina is very proud of her family, she recently admitted she hopes Blue ultimately decides not to pursue an entertainment career.
She told ‘Extra: “My wish for her is that I wish that she would do something else. I hope that she doesn’t go into entertainment.
“I think it’s a huge sacrifice. It’s a huge sacrifice on your life. But if she chooses to do it, I’m going be right up front screaming and cheering.
“But hopefully she’ll choose something else, but what I do know? And that’s why her mom let her do it, is because she got her confidence there. And it’s beautiful to see.”
