Beyoncé’s Daughter Rumi Carter Just Achieved a Huge Music Milestone With Her Mom
Blue Ivy is no longer the only Carter kid to make the Billboard charts. Beyoncé’s younger daughter, six-year-old Rumi Carter, just made her Billboard debut too—and at the very top, no less.
Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Top 200, Billboard announced yesterday. Rumi was featured on Beyoncé’s track “Protector,” so Bey’s honor is Rumi’s, too. This is Beyoncé’s eighth album to top the charts.
Beyoncé hasn’t commented on the feat yet, but in the lead-up to releasing Cowboy Carter, the singer reflected on the work she put into the project and how it was her response to the way the country music community treated her in the past.
She wrote on Instagram:
This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.
The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work.
I have a few surprises on the album, and have collaborated with some brilliant artists who I deeply respect. I hope that you can hear my heart and soul, and all the love and passion that I poured into every detail and every sound.
I focused on this album as a continuation of RENAISSANCE…I hope this music is an experience, creating another journey where you can close your eyes, start from the beginning and never stop.
This ain’t a Country album. This is a “Beyoncé” album. This is act ii COWBOY CARTER, and I am proud to share it with y’all!
