Like father, like daughter.
Blue Ivy Carter celebrated her big Grammy win on Sunday with a jeweled crown on her head and a drinking straw from her gold statuette, a page taken straight from her father Jay-Z’s book.
The photos of Blue and Jay-Z are almost identical, paying homage to the 2013 photos of the rapper drinking cognac at his awards. The 51-year-old Brooklyn native has accumulated 23 other Grammys over the years.
Now, making history, Blue is the second youngest winner to win a Grammy with only 9 years of Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl”, and she may be coming to her mother Beyoncé’s album.
In a video montage shared with her nearly 170 million followers, Beyoncé shared images of all of her Grammy achievements over the years – breaking the record for the most awarded female artist in all 63 years of the awards. At the end of the clip, we catch a glimpse of the playful side of his eldest son.
The 39-year-old singer first shared a photo of Blue Ivy from the music video before sharing photos of her daughter posing with her first Grammy. In true Queen B style, her crown shows that she is the heir to the new throne.
While Blue was not at the Grammy to give her own speech, Mom made a point of congratulating her daughter while accepting her win for best R&B Performance for “Black Parade”.
“Thank you so much guys. . . It’s been such a difficult time, so I wanted to praise, encourage and celebrate all the beautiful queens and black kings who continue to inspire and inspire me all over the world, ”she gushed out to the crowd. “Congratulations, Blue. She won a Grammy tonight. I am very proud of you and I am very honored to be your mother. “
Beyoncé shared how important “Brown Skin Girl” is to her and the representation of women of color. In a statement to “Good Morning America”, she shared: “It was so important to me on ‘Brown Skin Girl’ that we represent all the different shades of brown. We wanted each character to be shot in a real light. . . It was important that we were all in this together and everyone was celebrating each other ”.
