It appears that BLUE was recently spotted hanging out with friends in Beverly Hills

Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy isn’t even a teenager yet and has already got an impressive resume many adults would be envious of.

Her latest project will see her step back into the spotlight again just before Christmas, as she voices Kiara in Mufasa: The Lion King, alongside her mom, who will reprise her role as Nala, Kiara’s mother.

And the talented 12-year-old’s involvement in the film was recently defended by director Barry Jenkins, who made it clear that Blue was chosen for her talents, rather than her famous family.

He told ET: “It had nothing to do with mom and dad. She was the right young woman for the job.”

Blue’s acting was also highly praised by Barry, who said: “There are some things she does in this film that are really emotional. She’s a thespian.”
