The 9-year-old prodigy of Jay-Z and Beyoncé was among over 100 winners honored at the 2021 Voice Arts Awards on Saturday, a feat that made her grandma Tina Knowles-Lawson overjoyed. 

“Grandma Tina says : Congrats my Blue You killed this!! It’s only the beginning ! You are so talented ! Grandma is beyond proud!!!” she said in an Instagram post, sealing the deal with two heart emojis. 

Cherry announced in November 2020 that Blue Ivy would be narrating the Oscar-winning short film.

“Hair Love” is centered around the relationship between an African American father, Stephen, his daughter, Zuri and her hair, according to Cherry’s synopsis. The story originated from a desire to promote hair love among young men and women of color, as well as a dearth of representation in popular animation films. 

Blue Ivy previously became the second-youngest Grammy Award winner for her feature on her mother’s track “BROWN SKIN GIRL.” She also made history as the youngest person to win an MTV Video Music Award for the same song.
