Natalia Bryant, the renowned daughter of NBA great Kobe, has had the remarkable chance to team up with Beyonce on her massive "Renaissance" World Tour.

This is a tremendous opportunity for Natalia as she follows in her father's illustrious footsteps.

In 2018, when Natalia was only 15 years old, her parents Kobe and Vanessa, gifted her with an introduction to Beyonce.

The connection between the two women has continued to flourish as time passes - in 2021, on Vanessa's birthday, Beyonce made a touching gesture by posting a high school portrait of Bryant's wife online.

As Beyonce celebrated her 41st birthday in September 2022, Natalia took to Instagram to express her appreciation for her remarkable "Auntie BB."

Natalia has enjoyed a strong bond with the "Single Ladies" star since their initial meeting in 2018.

Their parents formalized this connection during the "On the Run II" Tour.

Beyonce has taken a particular interest in her protégée Bryant in recent years.

Showing her support through music and fashion projects, the 20-year-old's tasks as an intern for Beyonce's company, Parkwood Entertainment, include featuring in the singer's Ivy Park campaign alongside Bey and Blue Ivy Carter.

When the news of Natalia's achievement came around, many people took to social media to express their joy for her.

A user on Facebook wrote: "That's wonderful!"

Others quickly pointed out Beyoncé's close friendship with Kobe and how she would look out for his daughter.

A third person commented, "Kobe Bryant had been in a Destiny's Child video long ago, so they clearly must have known each other for quite some time."

Despite this evidence of their relationship, some believed she only gained the role due to her familial connections. The notion of "nepotism baby" was often raised as an accusation.

Expressing enthusiasm, one individual tweeted, "Unabashedly love this nepotism!" and a response was made with, "This is what we fight for!"

A third voiced their opinion that they would take advantage of having a well-known last name and use it to benefit themselves - as seen with Malia Obama landing an internship with Donald Glover.
