Awards
Jay-Z may have won the award, but all eyes were on Blue Ivy Carter.
The rapper and his wife’s eldest daughter, Beyoncé, joined her father on stage Sunday night at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles as she accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 2024 Grammys.
Blue, 12, stunned in a cream off-the-shoulder dress, which she paired with chunky white booties and a matching clutch.
The preteen, who spent last year performing with her mother on the “Renaissance” world tour, completed her look with long braids and glossy lips.
Blue smiled as he stood next to his 6-foot-2 father, who was almost the same height.
“I used to say this was a sippy cup for Blue, but Blue’s grown up now,” Jay-Z, who was wearing a black suit with an unbuttoned black shirt underneath, said at the microphone, referring to his 2014 acceptance speech. “She doesn’t drink sippy cups and she has her own Grammy!”
In fact, in 2021, Blue became the second-youngest artist to win a coveted Gramophone for her mother’s song “Brown Skin Girl” in the best music video category.
Blue, who was nine years old at the time, received credit for writing the song.
During his acceptance speech on Sunday, Jay-Z, 54, also took a moment to shade the Recording Academy in honor of Beyoncé, who made history at the 2023 Grammys by becoming the artist with the most wins in history.
The “Break My Soul” chart-topper, 42, has won 32 awards.
“I don’t want to embarrass this young woman, but she’s won more Grammys than anyone and she’s never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work,” the “99 Problems” hitmaker sternly stated.

“Think about that: the most Grammy Awards; “It never won album of the year,” he added as the cameras focused on his wife, who remained stoically in the audience.
“Some of you will come home tonight and feel like you’ve been robbed. Some of you may be robbed. “Some of you don’t belong in this category.”
Cameras then captured Beyoncé, who wore a stunning Western ensemble for music’s biggest night, flashing a slightly awkward smile as her husband continued, “When I get nervous, I tell the truth.”
She then held her daughter’s hand and reminded the crowd that “in life, you have to keep showing up… until you get all those praises you think you deserve.”
Jay-Z, who won 24 Grammy Awards in his career, and Beyoncé married in April 2008. They are also parents to 6-year-old twins Rumi and Sir Carter.
