Tina Knowles doesn't want granddaughter Blue Ivy Carter to chase a career in entertainment
Tina Knowles hopes Blue Ivy Carter "doesn't go into entertainment".
The 71-year-old fashion designer - whose daughter is Beyonce - is proud that Blue Ivy, 13, for getting up on stage herself on the 'Crazy In Love' hitmaker's 'Cowboy Carter' tour, but she doesn't want it to lead to her following in her famous mother's footsteps.
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."
Tina pointed out that Blue's seven-year-old sister Rumi - who Beyonce also has with husband Jay-Z -has also loved getting to join her mother and sibling on stage during the recent run.
She added: "Little Rumi also, she told us every night during Renaissance, 'I'm ready. I'm ready to go out there,' and we were like, 'Okay, next time.'
"And this time, her mom let her go and it's wonderful to see her out there.
'They need to let her let loose 'cause she is back there doing choreography and twirling and doing all pliés and everything else. And I'm like, 'Let her loose one night!' '
Despite her reservations about Blue or Rumi chasing a career in music, Tina is delighted to see Blue gaining confidence by the day.
She said: "Well, it's the best, because at the end of the day, the most important bonus of that is I just see the confidence just growing every day.
'Blue is tall, she's like 5'9', and she's 13 years old… and I would always say, 'Stand tall because your grandma always wanted to be tall.'
"And she would still kind of slump a little bit, and now we got the model pose and she is strutting and she is confident and that's the most important thing to me.'

Tiffany Haddish opens up on 'mentally and spiritual' challenges of getting her makeup done
Tiffany Haddish needs to be in a "good space mentally and spiritually" before she can get her makeup done. The 45-year-old comedienne is no stranger to performing on stage and screen, but admitted that when it comes to the preparation of it all, she can only "handle" having assistants swarm around her to act as a glam squad if she has made peace with it all in her own head first. She told UsWeekly: "A lot of people will be pulling on you, and you need to be in a good space mentally and spiritually in order to handle that. 'Especially on those lady days! You really just want to fight people because you're dying. There's a funeral happening, and nobody knows but you!' The ' Girls Trip' star was then asked if she has any rituals before she goes on stage and explained that she uses "personal feel-good music" to get herself ready. She said: "It's my personal feel-good music. "Not even my team hears it. It's in my AirPods. It's basically Hz tones — 420, 480, 550." Meanwhile, Tiffany - who was married to William Stewart from 2008 until 2013 and dated rapper Common from 2020 until 2021 - is currently single but has strict financial criteria she wants from a new partner, including a good credit score, an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and their own staff within their company. She told 'Extra': 'There are people that want to be special in my life, but they don't meet the qualifications. 'The qualifications for someone to be that special guy is the credit score has to be over 675 because… I'm a firm believer that credit score shows a lot about a person, and if a bank wouldn't be willing to give you a loan for a home, why would I be willing to let you be in my body?' 'You got to have an EIN number, okay? And he has to have employees… If you don't know what an EIN number is, that just means you're an employee.'

Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles realised she would be a superstar after school talent show performance
Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles realised that his daughter had what it takes to become a music star at a school talent show. The 73-year-old record executive managed the 'Crazy In Love' singer during her time in Destiny's Child and at the start of her solo career and recalled how he knew his daughter was destined for stardom as a primary school student. Speaking to The Sunday Times newspaper, Mathew said: "While she was getting ready to perform, Beyonce said, 'I want to hurry up and win my $100 prize and my trophy... I know I'm going to win'.... Then she got on the stage and became a different person. I knew at that time that she wanted it." Mathew considers himself to be the "best manager in history" and takes pride at overseeing Beyonce's successful early albums and providing the "road map" for her continued success. He said: "After 21 years of managing Beyonce, I smile because even now music magazines talk about her top 20 pop songs, 70 per cent of which are from her first four albums, which are the ones I was part of. "To know that I was a part of that, that I... let her understand the importance of brand development, and that 30-40 per cent of her team are people I hired 30 years ago... It makes me feel proud and grateful that I built the road map for Beyonce's success. That makes me feel good." However, Knowles does find it tiresome being labelled as 'Beyonce's dad' as he worked with plenty of other artists. He explained: "Sometimes I like to change the conversation and allow the world to see the totality of all those other amazing things that I've had the opportunity to do, which is much, much more than just Beyonce and Destiny's Child. "We don't talk about some of my other artists. I became their manager because I was qualified to be their manager." Mathew believes that his race means that he doesn't get the credit he feels he deserves for his career in music management. He said: "If I had the same success and (skin) of a different colour, then I would have gotten more attributes and accolades of being a manager and executive."
