Blue Ivy showed that she has star quality in Beyoncé’s new documentary Beyoncé Presents: Making the Gift.
The singer’s seven year old daughter is seen singing the opening line to her hit song Brown Skin Girl.
The documentary – which premiered last on ABC in the US – is a behind the scenes look into Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift album, which accompanied Jon Favreau’s live action remake of the classic film.
The song, also featuring SAINt JHN and WizKid, urges black women to embrace their skin tones and be proud of who they are.
The youngster is seen singing: “Brown skin girl, your skin just like pearls, the best thing in the world, never trade you for anybody else.”
Beyoncé then reveals her pride for her daughter, saying: “Okay!” in an impressed manner.
The singer’s fans – who are affectionately known as being part of the Bey Hive – suggested that her daughter has “dethroned” Beyoncé.

One Twitter fan said: “Y’all see Queen of Music MISS Blue Ivy dancing??? Beyonce has officially been dethroned” while another said: “Blue Ivy is coming for Beyoncé. Period.”
Others praised her ability to sing low at such a young age, with one fan writing on Twitter: “Y’ALL HEAR BLUE IVY’s LOWER VOCAL RANGE?!”
During the documentary, Beyoncé speaks about the significance of seeing videos of fathers singing the song to their young daughters.
“When I see fathers singing Brown Skin Girl to their daughters, to know that my daughter can have the same opportunities and feel confident and feel like she doesn’t have to take her braids down and she can comb her afro out and she can glisten in her brown skin… That is why I make music,” she said.
In an earlier interview with ABC, the singer, who voices Nala in the movie, described the 27-track album as a “love letter to Africa.”
She said: “I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, and not just use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it.”
It features music from Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Tierra Whack, Childish Gambino, Shatta Wale and Major Lazer.
