In a since-deleted TikTok Q&A in August, Julez answered fans who asked what it was like to have the iconic singer, 42, as an aunt.
Though he stated from the start that he wouldn’t share too much about his family, when asked if he regularly texts Beyoncé, he reasoned with fans.
“I feel like everybody texts their aunt,” he said. “That’s just my auntie — just like how your auntie is just your auntie."
Tina has always been her grandkids’ No. 1 fan, posting about not only Julez, but also Beyoncé’sthree children: daughterBlue Ivyand twinsRumi and Sir.
The proud mom andgrandmother shared a video from the premiere, showing the “Break My Soul” singer rubbing her daughter’s shoulders. After asking Blue if she was cold, Beyoncé left her daughter’s side so photographers could get solo photos of her.
“This has me in tears right now. To the fans that are there uplifting this beautiful talented 11 year old I thank you I appreciate you ❤️❤️,” Tina captioned the post.
