Jay-Z and Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter has won a songwriting award at the age of seven.
Blue Ivy bagged the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter’s Award at Sunday’s Soul Train Awards for co-writing her mother’s hit Brown skin girl, a song celebrating dark- and brown-skinned women.
Blue Ivy gives a vocal performance that opens and closes the song, which also features Wizkid and Saint Jhn.
The Carters were not at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas to accept the honour named after the legendary Motown songwriting duo Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson.
Blue Ivy shares the win with Beyonce, Jay-Z, St Jhn and several other co- writers.
The superstar was all smiles when her husband surprised her with a birthday cake, backstage at the Made In Americafestival in Philadelphia on Monday night.
While Queen Beyâs actual birthday is today, Jay-Z decided to give his loving wife a lovely birthday cake lit up with sparklers.
In the video she shared on her social media, Jay-Z is seen holding a bottle of champagne while he cheered and encouraged the crowd to sing âhappy birthdayâ.
Imagine you and your husband invite your friends, a couple, over to a televised event. You take their orders. You offer the wife a rose, and explain to the husband why you did so. Then you arrive home to find youâre being harassed all over the internet. Your name is everywhere. These people are on all your social media accounts, telling you to kill yourself. Because of what?
Thatâs the real life story of NicoleCurran, the wife of Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob.
You donât need to be a part of the Beyhive to be aware of the news â just scroll through your Twitter and youâll see the video of Nicole speaking to JAY-Zfloating around.
She left a comment on TheShadeRoomâs post on the issue, writing:
Listen Beehive [sic]. I respect Queen B. I love her! I talked to her husband twice tonight. First, to take a drink order for them both when they arrived as they were our guests. Second, to explain why I gave his wife a rose from a fan. All of this has been taken out of context. Iâm a happily married woman. Telling me to kill myself?????? Somehow I donât think she would support this.
Senior Writer at ESPN Ramona Shelburnereached out to her and shared what she learned on her Twitter:
We get that you can love someone so much that you donât want them disrespected. But taking that love and morphing it into the worst kind of hate, hate that pushes someone to tears and asking that they kill themselves? Thatâs just ⊠insane.
To announce the star-studded lineup as well as other details about the upcoming Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 event, a press conference was held today at Sandton Convention Center in Johannesburg, South Africa.
