Blue Ivy Carter Earns Her First BET Awards Nomination!
Socialites, join us in congratulating Blue Ivy Carter who just snagged her first BET Award nomination!
That’s right! Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s talented 8-year-old is being recognized for her feature spot on “Brown Skin Girl,” the 15th track on “The Lion King: The Gift,” — a project that’s was curated and executive produced by her mother. The song was a hit, charting on “Billboard” Hot 100 for 13 weeks. The song that also features Wizkid and Saint Jhn is also nominated for the BET Her Award.
As BET notes, the category’s competition includes “Underdog” by Alicia Keys, “Melanin” by Ciara feat. Lupita Nyong’o, Ester Dean, City Girls & La La, “I Choose” by Layton Greene, “”Afeni” by Rapsody feat. PJ Morton and “Tempo” by Lizzo feat. Missy Elliott. Last year’s winner was H.E.R. for her song “Hard Place.”
Now as exciting as this is, this is not the first time Blue has been nominated for an award. Blue, Beyoncé, Wizkid and SAINt JHN was nominated for an NAACP award and actually won for outstanding duo, group or collaboration for the same song back in February. On top of that, the song also won the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter’s Award at the 2019 Soul Train Awards.
