Mathew Knowles is beaming with pride for his granddaughter, Blue Ivy, in a recent Instagram post dedicated to the 12-year-old daughter of his oldest daughter, Beyoncé.
The former music executive made a sweet, proud granddad tribute to Blue Ivy in a recent Instagram post with a lengthy caption alongside a picture of the preteen in action while performing during her mom’s recent Renaissance tour.
“I want to take a moment to appreciate the amazing determination and willingness to learn that you displayed,” Knowles began. “Your excitement for life and your eagerness to soak up knowledge and new experiences are truly inspiring.”
“You have already shown the world that you are a force to be reckoned with, and I have no doubt that one day you will continue to astound us all.”
Knowles said Blue Ivy has the “extraordinary Knowles spirit” and offered more heartfelt words of encouragement.
“I also want to encourage you to never be afraid of exploring new opportunities,” he continued. “The world is full of endless possibilities, and I hope you are brave enough to step outside of your comfort zone and seize the chances that come your way. Always be open to new experiences, for they have the potential to broaden your horizons and lead you to uncharted territories.”
Blue Ivy had something of a coming-out party as a performer last May when she made a surprise appearance dancing onstage in a choreographed routine during a Renaissance show in Paris.
Beyoncé shared in the concert film of the tour how Blue Ivy was initially hurt by online criticism of her performance but soon turned the hurt into motivation to work harder, improve her performance, and prove critics wrong.
