Nearly 30 years into her daughter Beyoncé’s fame, Tina Knowles is still as excited as she was at the beginning.
During a recent appearance on Kate Hudson’s Sibling Revelry podcast, which she typically hosts with her brother Oliver Hudson, the Knowles family matriarch reflected on her insistence on not becoming “jaded” or ever tiring from the success her daughter has achieved.
However, she confessed that her excitement has sometimes gotten her in a bit of trouble with the “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” singer, when she can’t help but post countless videos to Instagram gushing about her as well as her granddaughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi.
On the latest Sibling Revelry podcast, Kate asked Tina whether she ever has moments where she thinks, “of course” Beyoncé’s famous, “she came from me.”
She however noted she will never be “jaded” enough to feel cocky about her family’s success. “I just think about how blessed we are to be passionate about something and for it to come to life like that. I mean, I don’t take it for granted. Ever.”
“I’m still crying. I’m still like, ‘I can’t believe this,'” she continued, adding: “I’m screaming louder than anybody when Blue and Rumi me come out, not as much for me, but for them.”
She then recalled how during one of Beyoncé’s stops from her latest Cowboy Carter tour — during which Blue and Rumi routinely joined their mom on stage — Gayle King and Oprah Winfrey were in attendance, and were surprised at just how excited Tina still gets to see her girls perform, even though she’s seen the same show countless times.
“I’m screaming the whole time, and I’m like, I have no shame, you know,” she said, before revealing: “I post twenty five videos, and then I get a call and Beyoncé will be like, ‘Mama, can you not post so much? Like c’mon now, when are you ever going to stop posting? … You’re doing too much.'”
Still, she emphasized: “I never want to be jaded about it or take it for granted, it’s still really exciting for me.”
Among some of her recent Instagram posts was insight into how Rumi handled her stage debut this summer. She reposted a video of Rumi’s many performances, and wrote: “Grandma is missing you much today my sweet baby girl Rumi Love,” adding that she wanted everyone to know that Rumi did “all of her choreography” on her own.
“When I asked her, ‘What are you gonna do tonight Rumi?’ she would reply, ‘Be myself, or ‘It’s a surprise grandma,’ basically respectfully saying without saying ‘I got this,'” she then revealed.
“Of course, I encouraged her to do the most,” she went on, adding: “We never knew what to expect. She picked out her costumes every night from the many choices her stylist @tytryone gave her!”
