Haters are going to hate, but that didn’t stop 11-year-old Blue Ivy from shining bright.
During the premiere of Beyonce’s upcoming documentary, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, fans learned the megastar’s oldest daughter caught wind of the remarks made about her tour debut and decided to step her game up, CNN reports. Queen Bey and rapper Jay-Z’s daughter accompanied her mom on her world tour to bust out dance moves for her hit singles, “My Power” and “Black Parade.” Beyonce admitted that she was apprehensive about her baby girl joining her on stage.
“She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” the singer was heard saying in the film.
But after the brave protege caught wind of what people were saying about her first performance, she decided to train hard and show the world what she was made of
. According to a review in The New York Times, “Queen Bey was dismayed when Blue Ivy read comments on social media that criticized her lackluster moves. But it thrilled her mother that instead of quitting, she decided to put in the work and train even harder for future stops.”Once social media caught on to how the reviews affected Blue, feelings started to split. Some fans were upset that people had the nerve to attack a child while others see how tough love helped her to be better. Even the hosts of ABC’s The View
jumped to Blue’s defense during their Hot Topics segment.“And this and everyone who participated in this, you should be ashamed of yourself,” host Whoopi Goldberg said. “Lemme tell you how smart this little girl is. She said you know I’m not going to take that to heart, I’m not going to quit. It’s going to make me work harder. Shame on y’all.”
