The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards kicked off earlier Sunday afternoon, and among the early winners were Beyoncé and Blue Ivy. The mother and daughter duo won the Best Music Video category for “Brown Skin Girl.”
This makes Blue Ivy the second youngest recipient. Leah Peasall, who won in 2001 at the age of 8, is actually the youngest Grammy recipient to-date, according to CNN.
“Brown Skin Girl” is featured on Beyoncé’s “Lion King: The Gift” album. The video, which premiered last summer, stars Lupita Nyong’o, Kelly Rowland and became a national anthem for all of the fellow Black queens around the world. Saint Jhn and Wizkid are also featured on the song.
