Beyonce’s 9-year-old daughter Blue Ivy wins first Grammy

Beyonce and Jay Zthe daughter of, Blue ivy, just won gear at the Grammys – making her the second youngest to walk away with the award.

Bey and Blue just won the award for Best Music Video … an award that was given ahead of the broadcast, which begins at 5 p.m. PT. The Recording Academy gave the team props, tagging Beyonce and hashtag BI (since she doesn’t have Twitter yet), plus Wizkid.

The Academy wrote: “Congratulations to the winner for Best Music Video – ‘BROWN SKIN GIRL’ @Beyonce #BlueIvy @wizkidayo Sparkles #GRAMMYs.” The track and accompanying video was part of Beyonce’s ‘Lion King’ album, ‘The Gift’ – and yes, Blue DOES has a verse in there.

She appears throughout the video alongside her mother, but towards the end … Blue demonstrates, almost identical to the intro and chorus … “Girl with brown skin // Your skin like pearls // The best thing in the world // I would never trade you for someone else, singing. “

It’s a small contribution, but it matters … and Blue is even a featured name on the song. So, yeah … she gets credit as well, and just as importantly, she also gets a statuette – joining her parents, who have dozens of Grammys between them. Now it’s a family affair!

At age 9, Blue became one of the youngest artists to receive this honor. In 2002, the music group The Peasall Sisters won the Grammy for Best Album for the soundtrack to “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” to which they contributed on “In the Highways”.
