Blue Ivy Carter has become the youngest artist ever to win a BET award.
The eight-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z was one of several first-time winners at the 20th annual BET Awards, which took place over a virtual ceremony.
Blue Ivy shared the award with her parents, along with Wizkid and SAINT JHN, for the track “Brown Skin Girl”. The song was featured on The Gift, an album of music inspired by Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King.
The previous record for youngest winner was held by Willow Smith, who shared the YoungStars award with her brother, Jaden, when she was 10.
Lizzo beat Beyoncé to win best female R&B/pop artist, while Megan Thee Stallion won best female hip-hop artist.

ATLANTA, GA – Frankly, Lil Yachty is lucky to be alive. On Monday (June 22), the 22-year- old rapper was driving his red 2020 Ferrari 488 on Interstate 75/85 in Atlanta when he hy- droplaned on the wet road.
According to WSB-TV Atlanta, Yachty slammed into the left median concrete wall, then spun across seven lanes of traffic be- fore hitting the right concrete wall. The car eventually came to a stop between the right emer- gency lane and the seventh lane.
