I worry about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's fame impacting their kids, says Tina Knowles

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are a famous power couple. They have three children: Blue Ivy, 13, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7.

Tina Knowles, Beyoncé's mother, worries about the impact of fame on her grandchildren. She wishes they didn't have to deal with public scrutiny. For now, she believes they are not too exposed.

However, she fears they will eventually read negative things about them. "I do worry about that," she says.

Despite these challenges, Tina praises Beyoncé and Jay-Z as parents. She says they spend a lot of time with their kids and have strong relationships with them.

Tina is promoting her new memoir, *Matriarch*. The book covers her childhood in Texas and her daughters' rise to fame.

She has four grandchildren now. This includes Julez Smith, Solange's son. She also considers Kelly Rowland's children as her own grandchildren.

Tina sees all her grandchildren regularly. They bring her immense joy in life.

She shares a close bond with Blue Ivy. "I'm so happy that she feels like she can talk to me," Tina says. Blue Ivy even gives her advice on self-care.

"She's my beauty guru," Tina adds playfully. When asked why she calls Blue Ivy her manager, Tina explains that others call her bossy.

Tina grew up in Galveston during the 50s and 60s as the youngest of seven siblings. In her book, she discusses the harassment faced by her family.

"There was a lot of racial tension," she recalls. She believes some things have changed but still sees issues today.

Tina met Mathew Knowles in Houston; they had two daughters together: Beyoncé in 1981 and Solange five years later.

Beyoncé was "not an easy baby." Nursery rhymes did not soothe her; only jazz music worked.

Solange was more outgoing while Beyoncé was shy at school. "She walked into every classroom trying to be invisible," Tina writes.

At that time, mainstream culture bombarded little black girls with negative messages about themselves. Despite this, both daughters showed musical talent early on.

"I knew Beyoncé had a beautiful voice by age seven," Tina shares. Solange’s talent emerged even earlier due to their musical environment.

Tina insists she never pushed them into music careers; it was their choice instead. "They just lived and breathed music."

None of the girls were rebellious; they simply wanted to perform and sing for fun.

In the 1990s, Destiny's Child formed with Beyoncé leading alongside Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams after several lineup changes.

The group achieved global fame with hits like "Bills Bills Bills" and "Say My Name." Tina made costumes for them while Mathew managed the group full-time.

Both daughters later found success as solo artists too—Solange won a Grammy for “Cranes in the Sky.”

Beyoncé received numerous accolades including best album at this year's Grammy Awards for *Cowboy Carter*—a celebration of black country roots.

In an Instagram post before its launch, Beyoncé shared how past experiences influenced this album's creation—especially regarding racism faced at award shows like the Country Music Awards in 2016.

Tina notes that growing up in Texas shaped Beyoncé’s music style significantly due to cultural influences around them.

Some critics argue against Beyoncé making country music but Tina disagrees: “It is in her right to make whatever music she feels.”

As they rose to fame, media pressure increased along with trolling online—like speculation over Blue Ivy’s pregnancy or incidents involving Jay-Z.

When asked how she protects them from negativity online, Tina says it's actually the girls who protect her from it.

“They block out lies,” she explains confidently about their resilience against hurtful comments.

“I didn’t keep them grounded; they're sensible people,” Tina adds proudly.

In addition to family challenges, Tina reveals being diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer but is now cancer-free thanks to support from faith and family.

Looking ahead for this superstar family excites Knowles: “The sky's the limit” for what they might achieve next!

Regarding grandkids’ futures: “They’re nurtured towards anything they want but not pushed into show business.”

Blue Ivy has already begun carving out a career at just 13 years old—voicing Kiara in *Mufasa: The Lion King* prequel last year while performing alongside Beyoncé on tour too!

However, Knowles emphasizes that Blue Ivy had to earn these opportunities through hard work rather than entitlement from fame alone.

“Her mom said no initially because there’s much responsibility involved,” Knowles explains further about nurturing values over ambition first.

On whether *Matriarch* could become a reality series? Knowles hesitates but mentions interest in movie rights instead—a film adaptation would be exciting!

One favorite film is about The Jacksons’ story which inspired many viewings together as a family growing up!
