Jay-Z later jokingly tried to snatch the paddle away from his daughter to stop her from bidding higher. The hilarious moment was caught on camera and drew laughter from the audience. The "Halo" hitmaker, who was twinning with Blue in a gorgeous gold ensemble which channeled her inner Nubian warrior queen Amanishakheto, was also seen laughing. It didn't take a long time for the video to capture people's attention on internet.

A Twitter user wrote, "Lool... Blue Ivy is about to buy all the Artworks at the auction. She must have been listening to JayZ's tracks about Basquiat and investing in Art."

Host Star Jones said during the auction, "Her mother and father have been talking about how you gather art and that is a big deal for African Americans." She added, "Listen, you know Ms. Tina told me all of this. Why you think I'm up here talking about it? 19 for Miss Blue, yes, and she's like, 'I like that.' "

Blue, however, didn't manage to take home the painting as Tyler Perry then bid $20,000 and won it. But the young Carter didn't go home empty-handed.

At the event, Beyonce was honored with the 2018 Waco Theater Humanitarian Award. During her emotional speech, the diva said, "I never thought people should receive awards like this because in my opinion, the giving is the reward and that's enough."

"I try to keep my charitable work quiet because I feel like these things should come from the goodness of your heart and nothing orchestrated as a campaign. And if I'm honored, I keep it quiet because I feel like I could be doing more," she added.

Meanwhile, Jay-Z's mom Gloria Carter received the Everyday People Award. "She raised four kids and she did the best job with me," the "4:44" rapper said. "My mother is a beautiful human being. She's a progressive woman, who was always strong. She's someone who is so strong that she told me, 'You can do anything in life.' I believed it so much that I thought she made it up herself. I didn't realize it was a cliche, but I worked really hard because of her saying. I'm very happy and proud of you."
