Tina Knowles may be a wellspring of wisdom, but when it comes to advice, her granddaughter Blue Ivy looks elsewhere. While promoting her memoir Matriarch on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the 71-year-old fashion icon beamed with pride over her daughters’ achievements — Beyoncé’s record-breaking 2025 Grammy wins and Solange’s trailblazing work as a producer.
She also gushed about how 13-year-old Blue Ivy takes after her, predicting a bright future ahead. But when asked if the teenager turns to her for guidance, Knowles admitted with a smile that Blue Ivy usually seeks wisdom from her mother.
“Her and her mother are really tight and so they don’t need me to give much advice,” Knowles told Hudson, before she added, “They tell me to mind my business.”

“I’ve been so blessed in my life to do many things. I’ve had many careers, but I’ve always said that the best job that I’ve ever had is being a mother,” Knowles said. “I’ve had the privilege of raising and helping to raise four daughters… two that were born to me and two that were a gift to me from God. You know, I was somewhat of a rebellious teen and a young adult, and I didn’t always follow the rules, but the day that I became a mother, I decided that this was one thing that I wouldn’t screw up.”
