Blue Ivy Carter beat her grandmother Tina Knowles-Lawson in a dance-off.

The 6-year-old daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z took on Knowles-Lawson in a friendly contest, and the House of Dereon designer admitted the youngster “killed it.”


Sharing a video on Instagram of her own take on Bey and Jay’s duet “Apes–t,” she wrote, “This is my dance-off with Blue!! She beat me of course! We had to make up an original dance move.

“My awkward shoulder move was my made up dance. I know it’s wrong but my competition is only 6. She killed it though!!! #aboutthatcaftanlife.”


The clip was taken as the family enjoyed a summer break in the south of France – and it’s not the first time Knowles-Lawson has shared an adorable story of her granddaughter.

Back in May, Blue Ivy scolded her for breaking the rules in a theatre in Paris and filming inside when she wasn’t allowed. As the pair sat in their seats waiting for the production to begin, Knowles-Lawson took to her Instagram account to share the experience with her followers.

Posting a video, Knowles-Lawson, 64, said, “I’m in Paris, France, and I’m at the most beautiful theater I’ve ever seen in my life about to look at the ballet. It’s a walking ballet, it’s so cool.” However, rule follower Blue interrupted her grandmother to remind her that filming inside the venue was prohibited.

The youngster said: “You’re not supposed to take videos grandma. You’re not supposed to.”

But Knowles-Lawson — who was previously married to Mathew Knowles, who managed Beyoncé’s girl group Destiny’s Child and got them to the top of the charts — ignored Blue’s warning and finished off her short video by saying, “Such a gorgeous theater. The architecture is beautiful. Really pretty.”
