From ELLE
Blue Ivy Carter is now a BET Award winner. Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 8-year-old daughter won the award for their work on “Brown Skin Girl,” along with Beyoncé, Wizkid, and SAINt JHN. The song originally appeared on The Lion King: the gift soundtrack in 2019.
Her award was announced by Erica Ash, who hosted the BET Awards pre-show. She said that “the songs in this category are as inspiring as they are motivating. Their songs speak to their audience’s commitment, and they also made us dance a little.”
This is not the first award that Blue Ivy has received for “Brown Skin Girl”. She also won the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter’s Award at the 2019 BET Soul Train Awards and the duo, group, or exceptional collaboration at the 2020 NAACP Image Awards.
In addition to winning an award for her music, Blue Ivy Carter has been doing her best to educate people during this pandemic. In an April PDA video, she used a bowl of water, pepper, and soap to demonstrate how effective hand soap is against the virus.
“So it is very important to wash your hands,” he said in the video. “If you wash your hands, your hands will stay clean, but if you keep them dirty, you could get sick.”
This girl is clearly already taking over the world with her achievements and her intelligence.
