It is a truth universally acknowledged that any child is occasionally embarrassed by their parents, even if their parents are Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
During an interview for CBS Mornings that aired today, the legendary rapper opened up about defending his and Bey’s coolness to their tween daughter, 11-year-old Blue Ivy.
In a teaser clip released by the network, host Gayle King prompted the conversation by asking, “Do your kids think you’re cool?”
“Blue, she be frontin’ on me a little bit,” Jay answered. “But, I catch her. I catch her in the corner, you know.”
He added that Blue will even go to him for occasional fashion advice. “Now, she asks me, ‘Is this cool?’ You know, her sneakers or whatever,” he told King.
“She wants your advice?” King asked.
“Yeah, she’s come back. But there was a time a time where she was like, ‘Dad!’” he said, before mimicking his daughter by hiding his face behind his hand. “I was like, ‘I’m cool! I don’t know what you’re saying. At your house, your parents [are] cool.’”
Blue is the eldest child of Beyoncé and Jay, who also share six-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.
During Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, which concluded on October 1, Blue often joined her mom onstage to perform an energetic dance number. The “Run the World (Girls)” singer posted a sweet tribute to her daughter’s performances on Instagram.
Captioning a photo and video footage of the two dancing together, Bey wrote, “My beautiful first born I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama. You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel.”
In another heartwarming moment, Jay-Z recently revealed how his eldest daughter Blue Ivy sometimes pokes fun at him, questioning his coolness factor. Despite his superstar status, it seems even Jay-Z isn’t immune to the teasing of his tween daughter. During a candid interview on CBS Mornings, the rapper shared how Blue Ivy occasionally pretends not to think he’s cool. “Blue, she be frontin’ on me a little bit,” Jay-Z admitted with a smile. “But, I catch her. I catch her in the corner, you know.” However, it seems that the young fashionista still values her dad’s opinion when it comes to style decisions. Jay-Z went on to reveal that Blue Ivy often seeks his advice on whether her outfits are stylish enough, particularly when it comes to selecting the perfect sneakers. “Now, she asks me, ‘Is this cool?’ You know, her sneakers or whatever,” Jay-Z shared with host Gayle King. Surprised by this revelation, King inquired further, “She wants your advice?” To which Jay-Z confirmed, “Yeah, she’s come back. But there was a time where she was like, ‘Dad!’” while demonstrating Blue Ivy’s playful dismissal with a laugh. Despite the occasional teasing from his daughter, Jay-Z remains proud of Blue Ivy’s talent and energy when she joined Beyoncé on stage during the recent Renaissance World Tour. Beyoncé also expressed her pride and gratitude for their firstborn, sharing on Instagram, “My beautiful first born, I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama. You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel.” It seems like the Carter family is filled with love and support, showcasing the heartwarming bond between parents and children.
