Beyoncé and Jay-Z's six-year-old daughter, Rumi Carter, is the latest person in the family to break a music record. 

She is officially the youngest person to feature on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Rumi is a guest artist on Beyoncé's song 'Protector'.

The track debuted at number 42 on the chart. Rumi follows in the footsteps of her big sister Blue Ivy, who previously held the record.

Blue Ivy made her chart debut at the age of seven. She was featured on Beyoncé's 2019 song, 'Brown Skin Girl' with Saint Jhn and Wizkid. Blue also has a writing credit on the track. 

The song went on to win 'Best Music Video' at the Grammys, earning Blue Ivy her first-ever gramophone. She was just nine at the time.
