Beyonce's Baby Blue Ivy Will Be Spoiled Insists Grandpa Matthew

It’s no secret, but Beyonce Knowles’ father Matthew Knowles confirmed his youngest grandchild will be spoiled! During a promotional stop at British talk show “Lorraine” with his group From Above, Matthew spoke proudly about Blue Ivy.

“I just saw Beyoncé and Blue Ivy two days ago. She has already got fifty per cent growth in three weeks. She is going to be a really tall kid.” The business mogul who helped groom his daughter into the mega superstar she is today revealed that Blue Ivy will hardly have to lift a finger to succeed.

“If Blue Ivy wants to be a doctor when she grows up then they would figure how to buy a hospital. If she wants to be a basketball player I already own a WNBA team so she can play there and if she wants to be a singer then she would be very happy.”

Now we know why Jay-Z and Bey trademarked their daughters name! In the meantime, proud grandpa Matthew is available for lullabies.

“I had her in my arms and was singing a song I used to sing to Beyonce and then after I finished singing the song she kind of went, ‘Ahhhh”

How sweet. Do you think Beyonce and Jay-Z will find a balance in raising baby Blue Ivy? See pictures of Blue Ivy Carter

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
