She's only 12, but Blue Ivy is already following in her famous parents' footsteps and making waves in the entertainment industry.
The oldest daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z took home the YoungStars Award at the BET Awards on June 30 and was lavished with praise from fans and loved ones.
This included a gushing tribute from her grandmother, Tina Knowles, who took to Instagram with a message which gave real insight into what Blue is like away from the spotlight.
Given she's been raised by Hollywood royalty, many assume Blue may have diva tendencies. But this couldn't be further from the truth.
Tina shared a beautiful photo of her granddaughter and opened up about Blue in the captioned accompanying it.

She then described a sweet interaction with Blue when she showcased her amazing musical talent but far away from the stage.

Beyonce's mom then listed even more of Blue's skills revealing: "You play sports, play the piano, dance like a pro in front of 80 k people. Paint like a fine artist, draw so well, sing so beautifully . (Voice like an angel )."

Noting how hard it can be to avoid negativity when in the public eye, Tina concluded: "And in spite of all the challenged adults who struggle with the green eyed monster disease, in true Carter/Knowles/Beyonce tradition it just motivates you to keep it moving.
