Blue Ivy Carter stole the spotlight at the premiere of ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ alongside her parents Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who are facing controversy due to a legal case involving Jay-Z. Blue Ivy voiced the character Kiara in the movie.
On December 10, 2024, Blue Ivy Carter joined her parents, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, on the red carpet for the premiere of ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. This family outing came amidst a legal case involving Jay-Z.
The Knowles-Carters made a united front on the red carpet, with Blue Ivy and Beyoncé posing for photos in metallic gold gowns. They were later joined by Jay-Z, who wore a chocolate brown suit. The family arrived without much fanfare but left quickly after taking photos.
At the premiere, Blue Ivy introduced the film alongside director Barry Jenkins and songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda. She voiced the character Kiara in the movie, which tells the backstory of Mufasa and Scar. Beyoncé briefly reprises her role as Nala in the film.
Jay-Z is facing a rape allegation from a woman who claims he raped her at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000. The accuser had initially filed a lawsuit anonymously, but later amended the complaint to include Jay-Z’s name. He responded with a statement calling the allegations ‘heinous’ and a ‘blackmail attempt.’
Beyoncé took to Instagram to gush over Blue Ivy, writing, ‘This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara.’ Jay-Z emphasized the heartbreak this has caused his family, stating they will have to sit their children down to explain the allegations.
