  • Knowles shared that her son-in-law Jay-Z advised her to be mindful of typos and to double-check her social media posts, though she admitted she often doesn't have the time.
  • Her granddaughter Blue Ivy Carter, 12, has also critiqued her Instagram activity, calling some posts 'whack' and suggesting she delete them, though Knowles admits she rarely listens to the advice.
