The film, available to stream on Disney+, celebrates the resilience and culture of Black people everywhere, and features many celebrity cameos, including Lupita Nyong'o, Naomi Campbell, Pharrell Williams and Kelly Rowland. Black Is King — which is a companion piece to The Lion King: The Gift, Beyoncé's curated soundtrack for the Lion King remake that she also starred in — also features Blue Ivy, Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter and future superstar herself.
