Blue Ivy Carter

Updated: Wikipedia source

Blue Ivy Carter

Blue Ivy Carter (born January 7, 2012) is an American singer, actress, and dancer. She is the first-born daughter of singer Beyoncé and rapper Jay-Z. Two days after her birth, Time dubbed Carter "the most famous baby in the world." That same day, her breathing, cries and coos were featured on Jay-Z's 2012 song "Glory", which earned her a Guinness World Record for being the youngest person to have an entry on a Billboard chart. She has been the subject of depictions in media, including impersonations on Saturday Night Live and RuPaul's Drag Race. Her 2019 single, "Brown Skin Girl" (with Beyoncé, Wizkid and Saint Jhn), entered the Billboard Hot 100 and won Best Music Video at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. This earned her second Guinness World Record for being the youngest individually credited Grammy Award recipient, and second youngest overall. The song also won an NAACP Image Award and a BET Her Award (making her the youngest BET Award recipient). Carter made her feature film debut in 2024 in Mufasa: The Lion King, as a voice actress portraying Princess Kiara.
