The daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z won her first Grammy on Sunday for best music video for ‘Brown Skin Girl’. Blue Ivy received a writing credit for the song.
Blue Ivy would have been the youngest to win a Grammy, but the record is held by Leah Peasall, who won in 2001 at the age of eight.
‘Brown Skin Girl’ appears on Beyoncé’s ‘Lion King: The Gift’ album. The video, which premiered last summer, features Lupita Nyong’o, Kelly Rowland and other famous faces singing about black female empowerment. The single also features Saint Jhn and Wizkid.
The Grammy Awards are a big night for Blue Ivy’s mother, Queen Bey, who has been nominated for 9 awards, being the frontrunner with the most nominations of the evening. She was able to make Grammy’s history as the most award-winning recipient ever.
