Jay-Z and Blue Ivy at the Grammys: Really big

Jay-Z (54) may have won an award at the Grammy Awards, but during his acceptance speech the audience’s eyes were not on him, but on his companion: his eldest daughter Blue Ivy Carter (12). When the rapper met Dr. Dr. in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. Dre accepted the Global Impact Award, the twelve-year-old accompanied him to the microphone on stage. White platform boots made her appear almost as tall as her 1.80 meter tall dad.

The fact that Blue Ivy is in no way inferior to her mother Beyoncé (42) when it comes to fashion style was shown by her self-confident appearance at her father’s side: In addition to chunky white shoes, the teenager wore a cream-colored, off-the-shoulder dress and a matching clutch. She had braided her long dark hair into many thin braids.

“Blue Ivy is all grown up now”

In his speech, her father referred to the trophy as a “golden sippy cup” for his daughter. Almost ten years later, Jay-Z said: “I always said this was a sippy cup for Blue, but Blue is grown up now.” His daughter no longer needs sippy cups and has her own Grammy.

In 2021, Blue Ivy won a Grammy at the age of nine for Beyoncé’s song “Brown Skin Girl” – becoming the second youngest artist to ever receive one of the coveted golden gramophones.

Jay-Z slams Grammy Awards over Beyoncé

In his speech, Jay-Z not only referred to his daughter, but also to his wife: he directed critical words at the Recording Academy. Beyoncé has already made history as the artist with the most awards, but has never won in the “Album of the Year” category. “Even by your standards, this doesn’t work,” he explained.

After a camera panned to his wife in the audience, who appeared to respond with an embarrassed smile, Jay-Z said, “When I get nervous, I tell the truth. You have to keep at it in life until you get all the awards you think you deserve He concluded his speech: Beyoncé has an impressive 32 Grammys, her husband 24 trophies.
