Like his mother. Blue Ivy join Beyoncé on stage for the first live performance of “Brown Skin Girl” on January 21st.
The Texas native, 41, performed a private concert in Dubai at a cost of $24 million, per TMZ. Although the performance was by invitation only, attendees shared footage of the elaborate performance via social media. The clip revealed that the 11-year-old joined her mother to perform a track from Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift, which was released in 2019.
“If you love brown-skinned women, I want you to help us sing this,” designer Ivy Park told the audience at The Royal Atlantis.
Beyonce wore a bright yellow corset dress with a matching back cut that resembled wings. Blue Ivy, meanwhile, wore bright red shorts with a matching coat.
Blue Ivy received a writing credit on the national anthem and appeared in a music video with Grandma Tina Knowles-Lawson and sister Rumi Carter, now 5. The music video won a Grammy Award, making Blue the second youngest Grammy winner at 9 years old.
“I know my two kids and my kids are watching,” Beyoncé said in her March 2021 Grammys acceptance speech. “Blue, welcome. He won a Grammy tonight. I am proud of you, and I am proud to be your mother, all your mothers. You are my son, and I am proud of you all.”
The pre-teen has joined her mother for other performances, including her performance of “Be Alive” at the 2022 Oscars, and she has contributed to her parents’ records since birth. His first contribution was in father Jay-Z‘s “Glory,” released two days after his birth in 2012. He gurgled and cried on the track, which earned him a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to have a song on any Billboard chart.
The “99 Problems” rapper explained in July 2022 how Blue Ivy’s incident changed all of her parents. “Time is the only thing you have. The only thing we control is how you spend your time. You are reckless with your time before,” Jay-Z said during an episode of Hart for Heart when talking about how parenthood affects career. “You just have to be where you are [ask yourself], ‘What are you going out of your house for?’ Every second you spend, you spend building the people you work with here, whom you love more than anything in the world. So what are you going to do with that time? That changed a lot. That almost changed everything.
