Beyoncé's daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi are certainly making their presence known as stars in their own right, with each now having recorded music with their mom.

The 43-year-old global superstar's only son, however, is a lot more private when it comes to being in the limelight, with Sir Carter eschewing public appearances in favor of a more quiet upbringing.

However, leave it to doting grandma Tina Knowles to gush over how he and his twin sister, seven, are just as supportive of their parents as older sister Blue, 13, who is often alongside them in public.

Tina, 71, made her debut appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on the one year anniversary of her haircare line with Beyoncé, Cécred, to discuss her family, her "corny" social media, and her daughter's big wins at the latest Grammy Awards.

"Your daughter Beyoncé shut the Grammys down! Again and again and again and again," host Jennifer Hudson excitedly mentioned, referring to the singer's long-awaited Album of the Year win for Cowboy Carter, a record on which Rumi is also a featured artist.

"I was screaming too," Tina shared of her own reaction to seeing her daughter win, explaining that she was at home watching with Rumi and Sir by her side. "I was there to help [her] and Blue get ready."

"I was really, really shocked," she added, alluding to Beyoncé's viral jump in surprise when she was announced as the winner for Best Country Album. "In fact, I sat there for a second and didn't even believe that was true."

"I was sitting there with my granddaughter Rumi and my grandson Sir, and for a second we were just sitting there. And when she [was shocked], I said, 'Oh, it's real!' I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it."

Tina also hilariously noted how Blue was being portrayed online as her parents' manager, but quipped that she would sometimes be exactly that in real life as well. "Bossy little Capricorn like her grandma."

5 surprising Beyoncé facts

1. Young star 

Aged just seven, Beyoncé's singing ability was showcased on talent show where she performed John Lennon's 'Imagine'. In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, she said she was initially nervous but received a standing ovation and won the show. After that, her father took her to more talent shows and she triumphed an astonishing 45 times. 

2. Sasha Fierce

In 2008, she adopted an alter ego called Sasha Fierce to help overcome her stage fright. Her album I am...Sasha Fierce was released that year. However, in 2010 she revealed she had outgrown the extroverted persona. 

3. Pulling a Beyoncé 

Beyoncé shocked fans in 2013 by releasing her self-titled album at midnight with no prior promotion. The move revolutionized the music industry and inspired artists such as Taylor Swift and Drake to follow suit. Billboard later named the trend "Pulling a Beyoncé."

4. Vocal stamina

Her father told Rolling Stone in an interview that she would run a mile while practicing singing to improve her ability to sing and dance simultaneously. In 2017, her personal trainer shared with Insider that he once had her sing an entire album outdoors in the heat. 

5. Low-key wedding

Beyoncé and Jay-Z married in 2008 in a private ceremony at the rapper's Manhattan penthouse, attended by just 40 guests. Despite their cloak-and-dagger approach, they were spotted while picking up their marriage license in Scarsdale, New York. 

When asked if Blue would follow in Beyoncé's footsteps, the proud grandmother responded: "Hell no! 'Cause Blue is a jack of all trades, as my mom would say. She can do so many things."

They also remarked on how tall the 13-year-old was getting, with Tina joking that she "passed me up a long time ago, I can't stand it." When it comes to advice for Blue, though, Tina preferred to defer to her mom.

"Her and her mother are really tight, so they don't need me to give much advice. They just tell me to mind my business," she quipped, later even saying that Blue is her biggest critic when it comes to her social media use.

"Blue helps me [use social media], but she doesn't like it either."

"Blue helps me [use social media], but she doesn't like it either. She'll call me sometimes and be like, 'Grandma, that was really whack, you need to take that off of there,'" she added, but maintained that she was "doing my own thing, I'm 71."
