Executives at BET have reportedly suspended a producer responsible for a joke about Blue Ivy, Beyoncé and Jay Z’s two-year old daughter.
On Sunday, August 24, Blue was featured on the MTV Video Music Awards, when she joined her mother on stage, held in Jay Z’s arm, when a guest host made a bitter comment about her.
Karrueche Tran said in a segment about Blue Ivy’s hypothetical thoughts, I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my hair. However, Tran did not write the joke, and took to social media website to make it clear. She wrote, “Now y’all know I LOVE me some Beyonce and Blue Ivy!”
BET’s president, Stephen Hill, apologized for the event, and wrote, Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child.
(2/4)We apologize publically to the child’s parents (and have done so privately) and we have taken punitive actions with those responsible.
