Blue Ivy Carter Wins Second Consecutive BET YoungStars Award

Blue Ivy Carter, daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, won the YoungStars Award at the 2025 BET Awards for the second consecutive year, solidifying her rising influence in entertainment despite being only 13 years old. She was not present at the ceremony as she is currently performing on the European leg of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour alongside her younger sister Rumi. Blue Ivy's win came against strong competition from several young actors and musicians, highlighting her talent beyond her famous lineage. Her grandmother, Tina Knowles, revealed that although Beyoncé was initially protective about Blue Ivy performing on massive stages, she ultimately supported the decision, nurturing her daughter's creative expression. While Blue Ivy's award win sparked some debate about nepotism on social media, many fans praised her dance skills and growing career accomplishments, including voice roles in films and prior musical contributions. Beyoncé herself received two nominations at the BET Awards but did not win, continuing her impactful presence in music with her groundbreaking country album "Cowboy Carter."
