This Brooklyn 13-year-old gets scoops that grown-up journalists can only dream of, from Cardi B to Michelle Obama

This 13-year-old reporter from Brooklyn is getting scoops other interviewers can only dream of — with an assist from the Kardashians.

Jazlyn Guerra has become a YouTube hit who’s chased down everyone from Jay Z, Cardi B, Shaq, ​​Simu Liu, Nicki Minaj, Tom Holland, and Kendrick Lamar, to Ice-T, Common, Flavor Flav and Michelle Obama for her channel “Jazzys World TV.”

Now she’s broken her biggest story: the first-ever interview with North West, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 10-year-old daughter — thanks to North being a fan.

North West recognized Jazzy at the Rolling Loud music festival earlier this month in Los Angeles. So Jazzy had her ask her mom, Kim Kardashian, if she could do an interview. jazzysworldtv/Instagram “She [Kim Kardashian] complimented me on my work and my craft too,” Guerra told the Post of Kim Kardashian praising her interview style. Her they are earlier this month at Rolling Loud music festival. jazzysworldtv/Instagram

Jazzy was with her father, Luis De Hoyos,  at the Rolling Loud music festival in Los Angeles earlier this month, when she was spotted by North.

“Kanye was performing and my dad and I were walking and we walked past North West and her friend and North West said, ‘Oh, there’s Jazzy!’” she told The Post.

“I said, ‘Oh my gosh, North West just recognized me,’ I should ask her a question. “I decided to ask her, ‘Is it okay if I interview you?

Jazlyn “Jazzy” Guerra, a 13-year-old reporter, has chased down interviews with Jay Z, Cardi B, Shaq, ​​Nicki Minaj and Kendrick Lamar for her YouTube channel “Jazzys World TV.” Stefano Giovannini Brooklyn native Jazlyn “Jazzy” Guerra started reporting for her YouTube channel, “Jazzys World TV” when she was 9-years-old.

“‘But before you say yes or no, can you please ask a parent?’”

Luckily, Kim Kardashian said yes and North West became the latest big booking for her channel.

“She [Kim] complimented me on my work and my craft too,” Jazzy said.

Jazzy, from Bushwick, began doing interviews at the tender age of 9 in 2020 when her dad, a mental health therapist, took her to meet and greets with stars and athletes around New York with a karaoke mic and an iPad.

Once she landed her first interview in 2020 at a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden with the opposing team’s head coach, Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, Guerra knew she wanted to be a reporter.

“I was very nervous because that was my first ever interview,” she said. “But I knew as soon as I started the interview I wanted to continue with it because of how much I really enjoyed doing the interview and having a conversation with him.” 

She and her dad, Luis, would show up at events like morning shows, sometimes waiting for hours, to flag down a star before Jazzy went to her Brooklyn public school. 

Despite a height imbalance, Shaq has appeared twice on Jazzy’s YouTube channel.

She caught Alicia Keys on her way into a morning show in 2021, who promised to give her some time after a sound check. “You can do anything. There’s no limits and no ceilings that’s stopping you,” Keys told her. 

That same year it took two days to get Jay Z to talk.

“We waited outside his office. [He looked back and he gave me a fist bump. I was devastated that I didn’t get my interview, but my dad told me, ‘Hey maybe tomorrow we can try again before school,'” Jazzy said.

But the next day, Jay-Z told her: “Just believe in yourself. You’ve got to have ultimate confidence like you do. You’re very confident.” 

Jazzy asked former FLOUS Michelle Obama in 2022 what kids in marginalized communities like herself need to develop to become successful. “You have to practice who you want to be,” Obama told her. “Who you are as a person, how you carry yourself, how reliable you are, that’s something money can’t buy.”  @iamjazzysworldtv

“It taught me a lot about persistence,” Jazzy said.

Jazzy caught a masked Tom Holland in Central Park while he was out for a walk in 2021.

Now she has 683,000 subscribers toher YouTube channel, 1 million followers on Instagram and 1.3 million followers on TikTok. 

She quizzed Cardi B on which borough has the best chopped cheese sandwich, warning her: “Do not say The Bronx just because you’re from there. Let’s talk facts.”

The rapper confessed she’d never actually tried one from Brooklyn.

And she put former first lady Michelle Obama in the hot seat when she asked what skills kids in marginalized communities need to to become successful. 

“I do get recognized sometimes, here and there,” Jazzy told The Post. “I’m trying to get used to that, but it’s pretty fun.”  Stefano Giovannini Jazzy caught up with rapper Kendrick Lamar in 2022 after his set at the Rolling Loud festival. Jazzys World TV

“You have to practice who you want to be,” Obama told her. “Who you are as a person, how you carry yourself, how reliable you are, that’s something money can’t buy.” 

And she has interviewed Shaquille O’Neal twice, including a catch-up last month.

When she’s off duty, Jazzy says she loves hanging in her local neighborhood park in Bushwick and listening to music from artists like Minaj and Jay Z. 

“I do get recognized sometimes, here and there,” she tells The Post. “I’m trying to get used to that, but it’s pretty fun.”
