Speaking about Bey and Blue's dynamic on the movie set, director Barry Jenkins previously said , "Beyoncé is this larger-than-life figure, but when she's working with her daughter, when she's in the room with her daughter, she's a mom first. So much of that energy bled into the film."
Blue already has a BET, which she won alongside her mom, Saint Jhn and WizKid in 2020 for their song "Brown Skin Girl." She also holds a VMA and a Grammy for the song's music video.
As for Tina , she's also grandma to Solange Knowles' son Daniel Julez J. Smith Jr., 19, and Beyoncé's twins Rumi and Sir Carter, 7.
