At only 9 years of age, Blue became the second youngest person ever to win a Grammy award when her mom’s song,”Brown Skin Girl”, won the Best Music Video award. She is also the youngest person to win a BET award for the Her Award for “Brown Skin Girl.”
Following in her mother Beyoncé’s footsteps, who herself has garnered five BET Award nominations, including nods for her film “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” and collaborations like “American Has a Problem (Remix),” Blue Ivy is making her mark.
