Blue Ivy Carter Plans Film Production Career Focused on Stories for Young Girls

Blue Ivy Carter has set her eyes on making movies. The 14-year-old wants to produce coming-of-age stories for girls.

Sasha Obama has promised to help Carter bring these ideas to life. An insider said she's working on a movie project right now, though there's no rush to complete it.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z support what their daughter wants to do, but they won't let schoolwork slide. They push her creative side while keeping academics first.

Carter has racked up credits that most teens can't imagine. She appeared on Jay-Z's track, "Glory," at less than two weeks old and later earned a credit on Beyoncé's "Blue."

At 9 years and 66 days old, she won a GRAMMY for Best Music Video at the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2021. She became the youngest female artist to chart on the Hot 100 after "Brown Skin Girl" received a GRAMMY and a Guinness World Record.

Her biggest movie role came when she voiced Princess Kiara in Mufasa: The Lion King in 2023. Talking to Good Morning America, she said that she was "really happy for girls that look like me all around the world … to watch this movie and hear and see themselves in it."

Jay-Z talked about how hard she works in a March GQ interview. When asked about watching her perform on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour, he said that she pushed through after critics attacked her early performances. Music isn't what drives her now, insiders say.

She showed up with Jay-Z at his Reasonable Doubt 30th-anniversary pop-up in Manhattan recently, posing beside him in a Fear of God hoodie, Jaded London jeans, and a navy Balenciaga bag, according to Teen Vogue.
