As superstar Beyoncé made history at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards, her daughter Blue Ivy Carter made her own history by becoming the second-youngest Grammys winner ever at the ceremony.
While Beyoncé became the most decorated female Grammys winner with 28, 9-year old Blue Ivy was recognised, alongside artists Wizkid and SAINt JHN, for featuring on the hit, ‘Brown Skin Girl,’ from ‘The Lion King: The Gift.’
Beyoncé was the most nominated artist of the night as she was up in nine categories. The iconic singer secured four wins — for Best Music Video for the afore mentioned ‘Brown Skin Girl,’ Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion for ‘Savage,’ and Best R&B Performance for ‘Black Parade.’
Blue Ivy has music writing credit on her mother's song. Leah Peasall was 8 years old when The Peasall Sisters won album of the year at the 2002 ceremony for their appearance on the T Bone Burnett-produced ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ soundtrack.
“It was so important to me in 'Brown Skin Girl' that we represented all different shades of brown," said Beyoncé, who along with Blue Ivy, Kelly Rowland, Lupita Nyong'o, Naomi Campbell and more appear in the Jenn Nkiru-directed video. On the day of the video's release, Beyoncé shared an exclusive message with ‘Good Morning America’ about the project.
"We wanted every character to be shot in a regal light,” she said. “Jenn Nkiru came up with the Black debutantes. It was important that we are all in this together and we all are celebrating each other.”
The music video for ‘Brown Skin Girl’ was released in August 2020, weeks after the release of Beyoncé's visual album, ‘Black is King,’ on Disney+.
