Her accomplishments extend beyond music; she also lent her voice to the character of Kiara in “Mufasa: The Lion King,” a feat her mother celebrated with a heartfelt Instagram tribute that read in part, “My gorgeous baby girl. […] You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”

“How is Blue just as tall as her mom already? wow 😯❤️” one person commented. Another added, “This was great. And Blue is so tall already at only 12 years old!!”
A third social media user shared, “Wow, very nice performance, my favorite part was seeing Blue Ivy again, I couldn’t believe how tall she is now, looks like a grown adult, but she’s still a pre-teenager.”

However, critics also weighed in and shared their concerns about whether Blue was experiencing a normal childhood.“I hope one time I could see blue ivy smile. Smile smile [sic] with teeth showing. Most of the time she doesn’t look happy. Breaks my heart as she a child,” one person commented.

“That kid looks 20 years old,” one person typed while someone else remarked, “And Ivy is dressed like an 18 year old lady [sic].”
