Some of the reactions also centered on JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s 5-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who made a cameo. Their oldest child played a small part, following her father into a church and sitting down in the year 2018.
In the year 2050, she grows up to become the leader of a council, “the founding mothers,” which is led solely by women who come together to debate and rewrite the U.S. Constitution.
I want y’all to grasp what’s in this pic. @S_C_ fantasizes his daughter as THE Foremother who brings together the founding mothers and rewrites our constitution. The way @ava captures that reveal is so beautiful. #FamilyFeud pic.twitter.com/QkhEt6Cnrv

The eight-minute film for JAY-Z’s 4:44 single tells a story over more than 400 years, beginning in the year 2444 and going backwards to the present day of 2018 where the rapper walks his daughter Blue Ivy into a church before stepping into a confessional across from his wife to confess his sins.
He previously dropped the Friends-inspired clip for “Moonlight” with Tessa Thompson, Tiffany Haddish, Jerrod Carmichael and Issa Rae as well as the Lupita Nyong’o-starring “MaNyfaCedGod” and “Adnis” starring Mahershala Ali.
JAY-Z’s 18th studio album, 4:44, recently received eight Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album.
