Blue Ivy Carter, 9, becomes the second-youngest artist to win a Grammy Award.


The daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z won her first Grammy on Sunday for Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl.”


Blue Ivy earned a writing credit for the song.


Blue Ivy got second place after the record was taken by Leah Peasall, who won in 2001 at the age of 8.


“Brown Skin Girl” is highlighted on Beyoncé’s “Lion King: The Gift” album.


The video, which premiered last summer, stars Lupita Nyong’o, Kelly Rowland and other well-known faces as they sing about Black female empowerment. 

 

The single also highlights Saint John and Wizkid.


The Grammy Awards are a big night for Blue Ivy’s mom, Queen Bey, who is chosen for 9 awards, leading the way with the most nominations of the day. 

 

She could make Grammy history as the most awarded recipient ever.
