While it was a moment to celebrate the “Renaissance” world tour and Miss Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter, the movie also revealed a concerning behind-the-scenes segment about her daughter’s concert appearances, which stole the show.

According to the New York Times, Blue Ivy was only supposed to perform once, and even then, Beyoncé needed some convincing. “She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” Beyoncé said in the documentary.

Kyle Buchanan of the Times wrote, “Though she finally relented, Beyoncé 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.”

I remember when Blue first performed in the “Renaissance” world tour in Paris to “My Power” and “Black Parade.” While Beyoncé posted a beautiful tribute on her Instagram, other folks took it upon themselves to critique the 11-year-old’s choreography.

“My beautiful first born 🙏🏾 I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama,” the caption read. “You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel.”

Like Beyoncé, most of us were basking in the reality that the same adorable toddler who congratulated her mother at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, saying, “Good job, Mommy,” was now a preteen killin’ choreography in front of 80,000 people. But others found time to be negative.
Here’s an example of the comments directed to Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 11-year-old daughter regarding her first live performance:

Now that Beyoncé let the world know that her daughter did, in fact, see the nasty comments, I’m sure many bitter adult trolls are wallowing in embarrassment.

Fortunately, many fans are speaking out in support of Blue and highlighting how unfortunate and disgusting this type of internet behavior is. Others are praising Blue for her resilience in the face of ignorance. Here’s what they’re saying:
So next time somebody thinks it’s funny to post negative, hateful, and unintelligent comments on social media about a whole child, consider they might actually see it — and you will still forever be a bag of wet garbage.
