Beyonce’s Daughter Rumi Carter Breaks Blue Ivy’s Hot 100 Record

by

Back in 2019, Blue Ivy Carter broke an impressive chart record. She became the youngest person to ever be credited for a song on the Hot 100. She appeared alongside her mother, SAINt JHN, and Wizkid on the track “BROWN SKIN GIRL” from Bey’s The Lion King soundtrack. The song spent one week at number 76 on the charts but it was enough for Blue Ivy to secure the record. But now as the tracklist of COWBOY CARTER has hit the chart, she no longer holds the record.

Within COWBOY CARTER is the track “PROTECTOR.” The song sees Bey leaning into some of her maternal instincts and ambitions, which is why it’s so perfect that it includes her daughter Rumi Carter. The 6-year-old’s song debuted at number 42 on the Hot 100 this week. Every single eligible song from the project hit the Hot 100 this week. That included “TEXAS HOLD EM,” “II MOST WANTED,” and “JOLENE” in the top 10. With her placement on the chart she officially surpassed Blue Ivy as the youngest credited artist to ever appear on the Hot 100.

Rumi Carter And Beyonce’s Collab Breaks Blue Ivy’s Record

Beyonce made history of her own when the album hit the Hot Country Albums chart. She officially became the first black woman to ever top the chart in its entire 60 year history. Last month, she received a special Innovator Award during his year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards. Artists like Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars have taken the award home in the past.

The praise for COWBOY CARTER has been overwhelming. Fans and critics alike have spoken positively of the album since it dropped. That’s why it’s no surprise that its first week featured the biggest sales total for any album of 2024 so far. What do you think of Rumi Carter breaking Blue Ivy’s record for being the youngest credited artist to ever appear on the Hot 100? Do you think Rumi’s record will ever be broken?

Mathew Knowles Pens Adorable Public Message Of Support For Blue Ivy

by

Mathew Knowles is no stranger to supporting his own family. He was famously the manager of Destiny’s Child and also took on the role for the solo careers of both Beyonce and Solange. And that support unsurprisingly extends to his grandchild Blue Ivy as well. The young dancer toured alongside her mother last year. She performed in numerous shows on the Renaissance tour often going viral for her dancing talent at such a young age.

In a lengthy tweet attached to a picture of Blue on tour, Mathew sent her a heartfelt message. “Dear Blue Ivy,⁠ ⁠ I remember coming back stage in London to the Renaissance concert and asking about you. Beyoncé replied “she is there rehearsing” and then I understood why because one of your friends had commented negatively about your first performance on the tour. In that moment I was so proud that you wanted to put in the work to get better,” his statement began. “I want to take a moment to appreciate the amazing determination and willingness to learn that you displayed. Your excitement for life and your eagerness to soak up knowledge and new experiences is truly inspiring. You have already shown the world that you are a force to be reckoned with,” he continued. Check out the full statement below.

Your journey is just beginning, and I have no doubt that you will leave an lasting mark on the world. Chase your dreams, follow your heart, and always believe in the extraordinary potential that lies within you,” his tweet concludes.

Beyonce, Tina Knowles, & Blue Ivy Pose For Essence

by

Beyonce posed with her mother, Tina Knowles, as well as her children, Blue Ivy and Rumi, for a new interview with Essence. While the full issue will be available on shelves on February 27th, the publication shared the digital version on its website, on Saturday.

The majority of Beyonce’s interview with Essence centered around the release of her new hair care line called Cécred. At one point, Beyonce recalled going to the hair salon with her mother as a kid. “I have vivid memories of my mother working as a hairstylist right from our home,” she said. “She built a small salon at the back of our house, and I can recall catching glimpses of her while I watched cartoons or played with my dolls and toys. These moments are etched into every corner of my childhood memories. I saw her shampooing and trimming hair, transforming women, leaving them feeling really good. Looking back, it was more than just a hair appointment—it was therapy.”

JAY-Z Drinks Out Of His Grammy Award During Ceremony

by

JAY-Z is catching attention on social media for taking a sip of D’Ussé out of his Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 2024 Grammys on Sunday night. During his acceptance speech, he made a joke about his daughter using Grammy Awards as sippy cups when she was younger. Afterward, the cameras caught him using the award to drink from.

“Thank you very much. I used to say it was a sippy cup for Blue, but Blue’s grown up now she doesn’t take sippy cups,” he said on stage. “And she has her own Grammys.” Blue Ivy joined him for the acceptance speech.

JAY-Z also criticized the Recording Academy with his speech by noting that Beyonce has never won Album of the Year despite being the winningest artist in Grammy history. “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year,” he said. “So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys; never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t work. Obviously, it’s subjective because it’s music. It’s opinion-based. Some of you are going to go home tonight and feel like you’ve been robbed. Some of you may get robbed– some of you don’t belong in the category. When I get nervous, I tell the truth. But outside of that, we gotta keep showing up. Forget the Grammys for a second, just in life. Just in life, you gotta keep showing up. You gotta just keep showing up until they give you those accolades you feel you deserve until they call you chairman, until they call you a genius, until they call you the greatest of all time. You feel me? Thank you.”

JAY-Z Drinks Out Of His Grammy Award

Both JAY-Z and Beyonce have been nominated for exactly 88 Grammy Awards. JAY has won 24 of them while she has won 33. Be on the lookout for further updates on JAY-Z and the 2024 Grammy Awards on HotNewHipHop.

Jay-Z Used His Global Impact Award Acceptance Speech To Air Many Grievances With The Grammys, From Their Treatment Of Hip-Hop To Beyoncé’s Snubs

Jay-Z‘s sense of humor was on full display — for better or worse — during his acceptance speech at the 2024 Grammys as he received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award alongside his daughter Blue Ivy. While he self-deprecatingly teased himself for being unable to fully boycott the awards show, he also took the opportunity to air out his feelings about the Recording Academy snubbing his wife Beyoncé for Album of the Year for multiple years.

“I don’t wanna embarrass this young lady but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year,” he said. “So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that: the most Grammys, never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t work.” He also joked that some of the nominees didn’t deserve their nominations, which… Look, I’ll write that one later. We’ve always known Jay don’t play about Beyoncé, but giving him a mic at this year’s awards may have backfired on those who admitted that they voted against Beyoncé out of spite.

Not for nothing, fans were amused and impressed by the speech because Jay was only saying some things that fans have been saying a good, long while. But, of course, his joking admission that he can’t quit the show completely made him relatable and took some of the sting out of his words.

Blue Ivy Carter’s Christmas Eve Plans Were Partying With The Kardashians

by

Blue Ivy Carter’s 12th birthday is quickly approaching, and we’re curious to see how Beyonce and Jay-Z’s firstborn will celebrate in the new year. Though we haven’t heard the tween do much speaking in the public eye, we did see tremendous growth throughout her performances with her mother on the RENAISSANCE World Tour earlier this year. According to Queen B, Blue didn’t let herself get down in the dumps over online critics slamming her dance moves. Instead, the young Capricorn took the initiative to improve her skills, making her one of the highlights of each performance alongside the Houston native each night.

Since wrapping up RENAISSANCE, Blue has mostly been back to normal life – or as regular as it can be for one of the world’s wealthiest nepo babies. It seems she still had enough energy to step outside for the holiday season. The performer was hanging out at the Kardashian-Jenner family’s annual Christmas Eve celebration earlier this week.

“THIS IS SMART BUSINESS CUZ NORTH AND BLUE CAN EASILY RUN HOLLYWOOD 😂,” one Instagram user wrote in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments. We’ve seen plenty of what the latter is capable of, and at the same time, the former’s creative talents are becoming more noticeable too. She recently joined Kanye West at his Vultures album listening party, where the father-daughter duo debuted a collaborative song. Elsewhere, she’s expressed interest in following in her mom’s footsteps to overtake SKIMS one day.

The Kardashian-Jenner clan sure knows how to throw a holiday party, but that doesn’t mean things are always roses and rainbows in their homes. On a recent episode of their Hulu reality series, eldest sisters Kourtney and Kim got into yet another yelling match – this one in front of their grandmother while judging a bake-off. Check out the tense footage at the link below, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Beyonce, Jay-Z, And Blue Ivy Explore NYC In Tour Bus

by

It’s no surprise that Beyonce and Jay-Z like to go big for the holidays, and it appears as though this year is no exception. Today, the pair were spotted having rented out an entire tour bus to explore New York City. They were of course joined by their daughter Blue Ivy, as well as other family members. The group hit all of the city’s most popular tourist destinations, sightseeing just in time for Christmas.

The family visited Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, and more. They rode in a Tea Around Town bus, which also provides guests with tea and other treats while they make their way around the city. Jay-Z is from NYC, but that surely doesn’t make it any less fun to see the city decked out with holiday decorations.

On top of celebrating Christmas with family, Beyonce also has some exciting things happening with her Renaissance concert film. She announced yesterday that the film will be hitting various new theaters in Brazil, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and more. Many fans in those areas were glad to hear that they’d be able to catch the record-breaking film near them sometime soon, however, others were disappointed. When followers heard the list of countries Beyonce named in the Instagram announcement, some of them thought that she’d be making actual tour stops there. Understandably, they were a bit let down to learn that the announcement only pertained to the concert film.

Regardless, Queen Bey has had a major year so far, and deserves to make the most of her holiday season. What do you think of Jay-Z and Beyonce renting out an entire tour bus with their family to explore NYC?

Tokyo Toni Disses Beyonce & Blue Ivy, Karlissa Saffold Comes To Their Rescue

by

Blac Chyna has been on a radical path of self-transformation over the past 12 months, but we can’t say the same for her mom, Tokyo Toni. As we enter December, the latter continues her antics of talking trash about other celebrities on social media, most recently going off on Beyonce and her firstborn daughter, Blue Ivy, as they celebrate the success of their RENAISSANCE concert film landing in theatres. “Dear Beyonce, try again. Girl please, get out of here,” Toni began her rant ahead of the weekend.

“Scripted, made-up pieces and portions. Dear Beyonce, can you do me a favour? Can you go to the Moon? Build your house there with your husband, and your kids,” the embattled entertainer went on. “Why are you grooming our Black children through your daughter?” Toni asked the Houston native. “I don’t care nothing about your BeyHive, those lil demons will get sprayed down with my mouth – pure Holy water,” she further threatened any fans who dare defend the Carter family. Despite her words of caution, Blueface’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, appeared in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comment section with a message for the 51-year-old.

Tokyo Toni’s Latest Target is Beyonce and Her Firstborn

“Girl, if you don’t stop messing with Blue Ivy!” the reality star stepped up to bat for the 11-year-old. “She is proving the Black children early work ethics through generational talent. Don’t discourage her because she ain’t out here getting pregnant and waiting to be nobody baby momma like us. Don’t do her,” Saffold added.

While Karlissa Saffold may feel entitled to call out Tokyo Toni for her wrongdoings, it wasn’t so long ago that the internet was coming after her for bashing Sexyy Red. Blueface’s mom has since apologized for her hateful comments, but still, some feel she should think twice before critiquing her contemporary next time.

Blue Ivy Carter Used Critical Comments of Her Early ‘Renaissance’ Performances to Get Better

Blue Ivy Steals The Show in Icy Park Campaign

Blue Ivy Carter became one of the biggest parts of Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour. But she was supposed to be a one-time moment.

The New York Times was in attendance at the Renaissance World Tour premiere in Los Angeles and dropped a key moment from the show. “She told me she was ready to perform and I told her ‘no’” Beyoncé says in the film.

Blue Ivy would take the stage on May 26 but ended up reading some critical comments, which she did not let discourage her; instead, she used it to train harder.

You can see the trailer for the film below.

Beyoncé’s Daughter Blue Ivy Used The ‘Renaissance World Tour’ Online Criticism As Fuel To Sharpen Her Stage Presence

Even with two of this decade’s most famous music parents, Blue Ivy Carter isn’t relying on “nepo baby” perks to fulfill her dreams. She’s also not afraid to stand up to naysayers. According to The New York Times, in a part of her mother’s concert documentary Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, she refused to let online criticism of her performance break her soul.

In May, during the international wing of the Renaissance World Tour, Blue Ivy surprised concertgoers by performing “Black Parade” and “My Power” with her mom. While most Beyhive members proudly cheered on Blue Ivy, others, including infamous YouTube personality Tasha K, slammed her stage presence.

In the Renaissance concert film, Beyoncé revealed that despite her efforts to keep Blue Ivy protected from the public, she caught a glimpse of the negative remarks. Instead of letting that hold her back, she’s gone on to use that as fuel to sharpen her stage presence, pulling a page out of her mother’s book.

Beyoncé applauded Blue Ivy’s dedication on tour in a touching post on her official Instagram page. “My beautiful firstborn,” she wrote with a prayer hands emoji. “I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama” You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel.”

A fan created a comparative video to emphasize how hard Blue Ivy worked from her first to her last appearance on the tour.
