Blue Ivy also grew up. Beyonce and Jay-Z made a rare joint appearance on the red carpet to support their daughter at the film’s premiere “Mufasa” by Disney. It’s a live-action prequel to “The Lion King,” in which Blue Ivy lends her voice to Kiara, the daughter of Beyonce’s character, Nala.

The family’s appearance comes a day after Jay-Z was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl with rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs 24 years ago. In the lawsuit against Jay-Z, the plaintiff claims she was 13 at the time of the alleged assault. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York.
