Our advice this week: Back away from the Knowles-Carter kids.
Beyoncé’s whirlwind week ended with Essence releasing images from her March/April 2024 cover shoot and a story promoting Cécred, her new hair care line. The photos are stunning, including one showing what appears to be three generations of Knowles and Knowles-Carter women: mother Tina, Bey, and two of her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi.
Except it turns out that the two kids in the photo are models, according to a Facebook post by Huff Post cover editor Philip Lewis. It makes sense that the mother, notoriously reserved and protective when it comes to her children, would follow this path. People have always been cruel to her and Jay-Z’s upbringing, something he discussed in the Huff Post last year.
The madness dates back to surrogacy rumors about her first pregnancy reported by NBC to a ridiculous change.org petition, shared by E News in 2014, demanding that the Carters style then-little Blue Ivy’s hair. Most recently, the power couple faced backlash over Blue Ivy’s Grammys outfit.
True to form, Beyonce is also coming under fire for her choices in this latest photo shoot, because apparently there’s an unspoken rule that we should be loud about anything she does.
Although joydailytv’s post on TikTok was a positive nod to the family legacy, the comments on the post were largely negative: “Isn’t your son part of the legacy the twin the boy what’s wrong with him that he hid I’m sorry right!! ! “How could you not put your son in the photo!!!” wrote setum1252. “Your son died or what? Where is the? “
Philip Lewis’s Facebook post about the substitution includes the comments: “Not that shit… do something that includes all your children” and “Where’s the little boy? I don’t see him much. Always the females.”
So far, there has been no response to this noise from the Carter camp. And since there probably won’t be any, we leave you with Bey’s best lyrical response: “Always be kind. The best revenge is your newspaper.”
