Blue Ivy Carter has achieved so much in her young life, and has stayed incredibly humble too. 

Not only that, her grandmother, Tina Knowles, has revealed that she's helping others too. 

The proud grandparent jumped to the pre-teen's defense after a naysayer commented on her recent post, which paid tribute to Blue's latest Bet Award.

One of the comments wasn't so kind, and Tina was quick to set the record straight. In a now-deleted message, she said: "You feel the need to criticize and say she is privileged. But she is hard-working, kind and talented."
