Beyoncé's youngest daughter is already making waves in the music industry.
Saughter Rumi has set a new record as the youngest female artist to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, as disclosed by Billboard earlier this week.
At six years old, Rumi achieved a remarkable feat by making a guest appearance on Beyoncé's song "Protector," highlighted on her latest bestselling record, Cowboy Carter.
Beyoncé's Daughter Rumi Achieves Billboard Milestone
Beyoncé's song "Protector" surpassed the previous record set by Rumi's older sister, Blue Ivy, who made history as the youngest female artist on the charts back in 2019 at just seven years old, featuring in her mother's hit song "Brown Skin Girl."
In "Protector," segment showcasing Rumi's voice, found on the fourth song of the album, opens the song.
Rumi opted out of singing and rapping, taking center stage in what appears to be a modified home recording.
The six-year-old shyly requests, "Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?" in a soft voice tinged with innocence.
Beyoncé's 'Protector'
"Protector" entered at the top 42 on the Hot 100 chart, capturing 11.3 million streams across the United States during its debut week.
Even though Rumi has outshined Blue Ivy's achievement on the Hot 100 chart, breaking records for the youngest female artist to grace any Billboard chart remains out of reach compared to her older sister's milestone.
