Christina Milian is standing up for Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy.
After the 12-year-old’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” red carpet appearance on Monday was scrutinized, the actress, 43, gave her two cents.
“First of all, she looks gorgeous,” Milian said on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show, “Sherri,” on Tuesday. “I think the fact that anybody has anything to say about someone else’s daughter, any minor, I think just mind your business.”

“She’s talented, she toured the world with her mom, like there’s nothing you can say,” Milian continued. “You can’t dim that shine.”
Sherri then said that Blue seemed “so poised,” with which the “Meet Me Next Christmas” star agreed.

“Let that baby glow!” added Milian.
After Blue Ivy stepped out alongside mom Beyoncé, 43 — who voices lioness Nala — and dad Jay-Z, 55, some called her look “inappropriate.”

How about we don’t put a 12-year-old in a push-up bra.”
“Blue Ivy looks beautiful but honestly I thought ‘wow she’s like 16 already?’ No, turns out she’s 12. Let a girl dress like she’s 12 please,” another chimed in.
Another social media spectator questioned, “Blue Ivy is 12. This dress and makeup at 12??” while a second said: “Blue Ivy looks very pretty but she is 12, totally inappropriate dress.”

“Y’all need to leave Blue Ivy alone. She’s 12. Her dress is beautiful. Worry about the kids being displayed on beauty pageant stages,” one fan suggested, while another wrote, “Please STOP projecting weirdness on to children. It was Blue Ivy’s movie premiere night. She was with her family and bodyguards.”
The user added, “She wore a beautiful dress that looked like a modern-day princess. She color coordinated with her mom! At age 12 other teens received praise.”

“My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining,” the singer captioned her Instagram post.
But the premiere came on the heels of the family’s patriarch being accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at an after-party for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards with Sean “Diddy” Combs in a civil lawsuit.

The accuser is now in her late 30s.
The complaint, which was obtained by The Post, claims the assault happened while an unnamed female celebrity watched.
According to the document, the accuser was invited to the after-party by a limousine driver who claimed to work for the artist and told Jane Doe the mogul liked younger girls and that she “fit what Diddy was looking for.”

The Roc Nation founder’s lawyers have filed a motion asking a judge to dismiss the claim. He also wants the identity of the anonymous accuser to be “disclosed immediately” to the public.
Jay-Z, who shares twins Rumi and Sir, 7, with Beyoncé, defended himself against the allegations in a statement posted to social media Sunday.

FilmMagic“My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of young people,” his statement, posted on Roc Nation’s X account, read in part.
“I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.”
