It's not only Beyoncé and Jay Z who are winning accolades in the Carter household, Blue Ivy has once again been honoured at the 2025 BET Awards.
The 13-year-old received the Young Stars Award for a second year in a row at the 25th Bet Awards ceremony that took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday evening.

Fellow nominees included Akira Akbar, Graceyn “Gracie” Hollingsworth, Heiress Harris, Melody Hurd, Thaddeus J. Mixson, Tyrik Johnson and VanVan.
The Cowboy Carter star also earned two nominations at this year's awards show. Beyoncé was among the lineup for album of the year for her eighth studio album, as well as the BETHer Award for her song "Blackbiird", featuring Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts.

Blue Ivy's stardom

During an interview with ELLE, Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles shared that the star was initially apprehensive about allowing Blue Ivy to perform at the Renaissance World Tour back in 2023. "I encouraged it because my girls were allowed to express themselves creatively in any way they chose to," she explained.

She continued: "So my personal two cents was, 'I hope you let her do it.' Her mother, being protective of her, thought she was too young. She was like, 'This is a heavy thing. It’s 70,000 people out there sometimes, so that’s a big deal for you to get in front of those people.' And so her response came from a place of protection, and mine came from a place of, 'Well, I would have let you do it.' And I remember saying that. But it wasn’t my business, it was her mom’s business. I just kind of helped the conversation along a bit."
