Blue Ivy Carter (born January 7, 2012) is an American singer and actress. She is the first daughter of famous musicians Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Just two days after she was born, Time magazine called her "the most famous baby in the world."
Around the same time, her baby sounds were used in her father Jay-Z's 2012 song "Glory." This made her the youngest person ever to appear on a Billboard chart, earning her a Guinness World Record. Later, in 2019, her song "Brown Skin Girl" (with Beyoncé, Wizkid, and Saint Jhn) became a hit. It won a Grammy Award for Best Music Video. This made her the youngest person to win a Grammy Award individually. The song also won an NAACP Image Award and a BET Her Award.
