Beyoncé’s incredible legacy as a multi-hyphenate is being passed down to capable hands — none other than her teenage daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
The 13-year-old, the oldest of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s three children, has already made her mark as a Grammy-winning artist, dancer, and now voice actress thanks to Mufasa: The Lion King.
Blue most recently stood by her mom’s side at the 67th Grammy Awards, when she finally took home her first Album of the Year trophy for Cowboy Carter. Watch that historic moment below…
One of the record’s collaborators, Shaboozey, coming off three Grammy nominations himself, spoke fondly about the 43-year-old musician and her daughter, and how good they are at taking charge of their work.
Shaboozey, real name Collins Obinna Chibueze, 29, spoke with E! News on the Grammys red carpet on Sunday, February 2 about performing with Beyoncé and Blue at her Christmas day NFL Halftime show.
Shaboozey featured on two tracks from Cowboy Carter, earning a Best Melodic Rap Performance Grammy nod for his feature on “Spaghetii.” He gushed about being able to see her and Blue command the stage so easily at the Halftime performance.
“[Beyoncé] invited us out there three days early just to watch her do what she does,” he revealed. “She’s so focused, she’s commanding, she’s giving instructions, she’s there just as much as everybody else is. It’s not like an in-and-out thing, she’s there watching the playback.”
The country music star also noted how much of that he could see in Blue as well, adding: “Blue’s giving notes! She’s a young director. Young visionary. Young filmmaker. I can see it ’cause I direct, too.”

“I just feel very full and very honored. It’s been many, many years,” she remarked. “I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, for all of the hard work. I want to dedicate this to Miss (Linda) Martell, and I’ll just hopefully keep pushing forward, opening doors.”
