Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi makes music debut

Beyoncé is keeping alive her recent tradition of featuring her children on her albums with the release of her newest LP Cowboy Carter.

The country music–inspired album — a sequel to her hit Renaissance — features a brief appearance from her youngest daughter, Rumi.

In addition to her famous family members, Beyoncé is also joined by several country icons on Cowboy Carter.

The six-year-old — half of Beyoncé’s fraternal twins with her son Sir — pops up early on the album at the very beginning of track four, Protector.

She follows in the footsteps of her older sister Blue Ivy, 12, who won a Grammy in 2021 for co-writing her mother’s song Brown Skin Girl, which was featured on her 2019 soundtrack album, The Lion King: The Gift.

Rumi left the singing and rapping to her mother, and she was instead featured in what sounds like a repurposed home recording.

‘Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?’ Rumi asks haltingly, pronouncing the last word more like ‘wullaby.’

The brief clip didn’t sound as if it was recorded in the studio expressly for the album, as it was suffused with a hissing sound that wouldn’t have been present in a high-quality studio recording.

Protector is a fitting choice to feature Rumi’s voice, as the song appears to be inspired by Beyoncé’s children.

‘And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way / Born to be a protector, mm-hmm / Even though I know someday you’re gonna shine on your own / I will be your projector, mmm, mm-hmm,’ the hitmaker sings in the chorus.

She adds in the bridge: ‘I first saw your face in your father’s gaze / There’s a long line of hands carryin’ your name, mm / Liftin’ you up, so you will be raised.’

Rumi’s appearance on Cowboy Carter seemed to be an immediate hit with fans who stayed up to listen to Beyoncé’s new album.

‘So cuteeeeee Rumi is the SUPERSTAR !!’ one fan gushed in the comments to the YouTube version of the song featuring lyrics.

‘Now this is a MOMMA SONG. GO RUMI,’ added another pleased listener.

Some fans were even convinced that Rumi could be the ‘next Grammy winner’ among Beyoncé’
