Blue Ivy, the 9-year-old daughter of famed musicians Jay-Z and Beyoncé, became the second youngest person to win a Grammy Sunday night after she received an award for her participation in the music video for Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl.” Blue Ivy received a writing credit. The New York Times reported that the music video “is replete with imagery of loving relationships between Black women: mothers and daughters, sisters, friends. Blue Ivy appears at the beginning, with a shot of her playing a hand clapping game with her mother. She later appears all dolled up like a debutante, wearing a string of pearls and white gloves.” “In the song’s outro, Blue Ivy echoes her mother, singing, ‘Brown skin girl/Your skin just like pearls.’ Also credited for the award is the Nigerian singer-songwriter Wizkid,” the outlet added. Leah Peasall is the youngest person to win a Grammy, receiving the award at the age of 8 in 2001. The Peasall Sisters won the award for album of the year for their involvement in the “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” soundtrack.
