Beyoncé gets emotional watching her daughter Blue Ivy work on Mufasa: The Lion King in a behind-the-scenes recording-booth video. The moment is about voice acting—not a live concert performance: Blue Ivy voices Kiara, while Beyoncé voices Nala.
What happens in the recording-booth clip?
In footage published by ABC News on December 10, 2024, Beyoncé works with Blue Ivy during voice recording for Mufasa: The Lion King. Access Hollywood describes Beyoncé wiping away tears in the booth. She asks for a moment, saying, “Give me a second, because I’m still… I can’t believe that’s my baby.” She then says, “It was really hard to focus and to do my job after that.” Access Hollywood’s report and quoted remarks give the context for the exchange; ABC News published the behind-the-scenes video.

The clip shows Beyoncé’s stated reaction to working with her daughter. It does not establish anything beyond the pride and difficulty concentrating she describes, so the moment is best understood through her own words.
Who do Beyoncé and Blue Ivy voice?
They play mother and daughter in the film: Beyoncé voices Nala, and Blue Ivy voices Kiara. Their recording-booth scene is part of the film’s voice work, rather than a performance onstage.
