Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter was born in 2012.
Blue Ivy Carter was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City. Her parents are Beyoncé and rapper Jay-Z. Her birth attracted worldwide media attention because both parents were already among the most recognizable figures in music.
Blue Ivy’s voice appears at the beginning of Jay-Z’s song “Glory,” recorded shortly after her birth. The track includes her cries, making her one of the youngest credited performers in popular music at the time. She was also featured in the music video for Beyoncé’s song “Blue.”
Blue Ivy later received public recognition for her creative work. She earned a writing credit on Beyoncé’s 2020 visual album Black Is King and won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video as part of the team for “Brown Skin Girl” in 2021. She is often mentioned alongside her younger siblings, Rumi and Sir.
