- Jul 1, 2024
AceShowbiz - Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of pop culture icons Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z, has once again proven that talent runs deep in her family. On Sunday, June 30, she clinched the YoungStars Award at the 2024 BET Awards held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. This award recognizes young stars who have made a significant impact in television, film, music, or sports.
Although the Carters were not in attendance, the news of Blue Ivy's win was still met with excitement and pride. Beyonce's production and management company, Parkwood Entertainment, took to Instagram to share their joy, "Congratulations to Blue Ivy Carter on winning the 2024 BET Youngstars Award!" Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, also chimed in with her support, praising her granddaughter.
Showing exceptional talent from a young age, Blue Ivy holds the record as the youngest person ever to appear on a Billboard chart, thanks to her feature on Jay-Z's 2012 song "Glory."
This recent win is another feather in her cap, as she previously made history by becoming the youngest recipient of a BET Award for her contribution to the song "Brown Skin Girl" alongside her mother, Saint Jhn, and Wizkid. That song also earned her an MTV Video Music Award, a Grammy, an NAACP Image Award, and a Soul Train Music Award.
This year's BET Awards, dubbed "culture's biggest night," was hosted by Taraji P. Henson and saw performances by several artists, including a standout show by 5-year-old rapper Van Van. While not every award was broadcasted, the evening still celebrated pivotal wins. Usher received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and other winners included Victoria Monet, Tyla, and Killer Mike.
Beyonce, who continues to make her mark with both music and film, was nominated for five awards at the event. She took home the Viewer's Choice Award for "Texas Hold 'Em." Her upcoming film "Mufasa: The Lion King," where Blue Ivy will make her feature film debut as Princess Kiara, is highly anticipated and set to hit theaters on December 20.
Blue Ivy's rapid rise in the entertainment world is inspirational for young audiences everywhere, proving that with talent and dedication, the sky's the limit. Congratulations to her on this remarkable achievement!
