Jay-Z recently reflected on daughter Blue Ivy Carters stunning dance cameos during Beyoncs Renaissance World Tour, as well as criticism that the child had faced in the past over her hair.

In a CBS Mornings interview released Friday, the rap mogul beamed with pride as he discussed the 11-year-olds performances during her mothers concert tour, which concluded earlier this month, and how the girl had evolved.

I know how nervous she was, I know how frightened she was, Jay-Z said.

He added that she was still eager to perform from the first tour stop regardless including to tunes like My Power, which fittingly celebrates empowerment and self-love.

What makes me super proud and I still get goosebumps seeing her walk onstage is because Blues been ... born into a life she didnt ask for, Jay-Z said. Since she was born, shes been in scrutiny and public eye, and everyone having an opinion even [on] a little girl, how she keeps her hair.

He continued, So for her to be on that stage and reclaim her power, and the song is called My Power ... you cant write a better script.

When she was just a toddler, Blue Ivy had been the subject of anti-Black commentary surrounding her hair and hair texture. In 2014, someone even created a petition calling for the childs famous parents to comb her hair.

Beyonc and Jay-Z also share 6-year-old twins Rumi and Sir Carter.

JAY-Z is a rapper, a businessman and most importantly, a family man with a big heart.

Elsewhere in his CBS Mornings interview, Jay-Z revealed what inspired Blue Ivys name.

The rapper said she was initially going to be called Brooklyn, but that he and Beyonc grew attached to a nickname they gave the girl before she was born.

He said they would refer to Blue Ivy as a blueberry when they were given ultrasound pictures.

Like, Look at the little blueberry! he said.
