The latest PSA from Blue Ivy Carter, the eight-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, takes the prize for being the cutest.
In an Instagram video posted on Saturday by her grandma Tina Knowles, Blue shows viewers how a little soap can help eliminate the virus.
“Hey y’all,” Blue says in the video, which has been viewed nearly 50 000 times.
“And since we’re stuck at home, I have this little DIY experiment that you can do at home too.”
She uses a bowl of water that has specks of pepper in it to represent the coronavirus. She then swirls her finger in some soap and then sticks her finger into the bowl, which causes the pepper to disperse away from her finger.
“This is why it’s very important to wash your hands,” Blue says.
Background
Blue Ivy Carter (born January 7, 2012) is an American singer. She became the youngest winner of a BET Award at the age of eight when she won the BET HER Award in 2020 for her collaboration on “Brown Skin Girl”, a single by Carter, her mother Beyoncé, WizKid and Saint Jhn.
She won an NAACP Image Award for the same song. A daughter of musicians Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Carter has lived her life in the spotlight from birth. She has been the subject of depictions in media, including impersonations on Saturday Night Live and RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Beyoncé’s pregnancy was announced during the performance of “Love on Top” at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. She finished the performance by unbuttoning her blazer and rubbing her stomach to confirm her pregnancy.
Blue Ivy Carter was born January 7, 2012 to Beyoncé and Jay-Z at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, New York.CBS wrote Carter was “Arguably the world’s most famous baby, aside from Prince George and North West”, the eldest child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Two days after her birth, Time wrote Carter was “already the most famous baby in the world”. Since her birth, her parents have “worked to secure trademarks of their daughter’s name for everything, including books, shampoos, video games, and more”.
Beyoncé argued Carter is a “cultural icon” during the trademark process. Through her mother, Carter is the granddaughter of Tina Knowles and Mathew Knowles.
Carter’s maternal aunt is singer Solange Knowles. Media attention has been focused on Carter from birth because of her famous parents and extended family.
In 2012, the town of Hvar, Croatia named Carter an honorary citizen of the town. Her parents had visited the town before Carter’s birth, where Beyoncé had first considered naming her Blue Ivy.
In August 2014, Carter joined father Jay-Z onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they presented Beyoncé with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Carter has continued to attend music award ceremonies with her parents, including the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, where she made headlines for the cost of the clothing she wore (a $10,950 Mischka Aoki princess gown and $565 Giuseppe Zanotti high-top sneakers).
In 2018, Carter attended first grade at The Center for Early Education, a private school in West Hollywood, Los Angeles.
In January 2020, just before Carter’s eighth birthday, rapper Megan Thee Stallion posted photos to her Instagram and Twitter of her, Beyoncé, and Carter.
Vanity Fair writer K Austin Collins replied, “I have a feeling the Jay Z face genes are about to really hit Blue Ivy and I feel so sorry for her.” Harper’s Bazaar web editor Violet Lucca replied to Collins’ tweet, stating “They haven’t already? Or she’ll just get plastic surgery at 16 a la Kylie Jenner and we’ll all have to pretend that she always looked that way…I can’t allow myself to feel too sorry for the incredibly rich!” The two were slammed online, leading to an apology from both and the pair deleting their tweets.
Net worth, career
Blue Ivy has a reported net worth of over $1 million. With writing credits on songs like Brown Skin Girl, Trend Celeb Now states that Blue Ivy’s net worth is approximately between $1 million and $5 million.
Dubbed the “Princess of pop” by Rolling Stone, Carter was featured gurgling and crying on her father’s single “Glory”, a song released two days after her birth celebrating her.

In 2018, Carter was the subject of an impersonation by drag queen The Vixen on the Snatch Game episode on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 10. Into stated the characterization rested on “brat… without pushing Blue into more nuanced territory.”
In 2012, Jaclyn Friedman came under fire for her piece, Unsolicited Advice For Blue Ivy, which was heavily criticized by African-American women for alleged racist overtones.
