‘You Are So Miserable to be Talking About a Child’: Beyoncé Fans Drag Tasha K for Criticizing Blue Ivy’s Dancing on Her Mom’s Renaissance Tour

Blogger Tasha K has provoked the Beyhive to get into formation after she criticized Blue Ivy Carter on her controversial podcast.

The tween has been the topic of online buzz as Beyoncé fans rave about her appearances alongside her mother throughout the European leg of the Renaissance world tour. In the latest episode of “Unwine with Tasha K,” the polarizing host took aim at the tween’s stage presence.

Tasha K’s commentary began after she acknowledged Ashley Everett’s, Beyoncé’s former dance captain, praise for the 11-year-old. “Everybody knows that Blue Ivy was very stiff up there, as if Beyoncé just gone tell this girl that she got it,” said the YouTube personality, whose real name is Latasha Kebe.

“We’ve seen 13-year-old girls from the hood outdance and hula hoop her. I like Blue Ivy. I think she’s beautiful. I think she’s going to be a model. Her mama already has her life being set up. But her mama has to be honest with her and tell her the truth,” she continued.

Tasha K then suggested Beyoncé return to her hometown of Houston, Texas, with Blue in tow.

“I need her to take a trip to the projects, her local rec center, local Boys & Girls Club, leave Blue Ivy down there for one week, and let’s see if she’s able to loosen up. … Put her in a all-‘hood cheerleading camp. … I just think Blue Ivy needs a little bit of tweaking,” she said.

Tasha ended by saying, “I don’t want to see a robot. She look like the irobot that be vacuuming my floors.” Her remarks spurred a flood of reactions. Some of the comments she received include:

“You are so miserable to be talking about a child and expect us to agree with you. You need serious help!!!!”

“She has improved every show. She’s a kid.”

“She is 11 years old would you prefer she was bussing it open like an adult???? Kids really should be off limits.”

“Baby Beyoncé not going to say much but Jay end careers fr.”

Elsewhere online, Blue Ivy has been dubbed her mother’s mini-me despite the loud criticism from the social media personality.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s firstborn has previously appeared on stage during a 2022 Oscar performance and during the singer’s concert in Dubai in January.

Tasha K is currently on the hook for $4 million owed to Cardi B. The rapper won a lawsuit last year after suing the blogger for defamation in 2019. The “Bodak Yellow” artist sought legal action after Tasha falsely claimed she had herpes and used cocaine.

Still independent.

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.
