In the same interview, the host asked Knowles how she helped Blue navigate the criticism that followed her first tour appearance with Beyoncé during the “Renaissance Tour.”

The grandmother recalled that Blue had to dance in front of 70,000 people each night and then shared the secret, saying:

“Because you have to be taught that. Kids don’t learn it from just [an] accident. You have to say to them, ‘It’s more important to be a good person.’ And that you got to work for what you get. Nobody’s going to just hand it to you because you are somebody’s daughter or because they like you. You have to work hard.”
