      It's funny how people talk about Jay Z's past, so what if he sold drugs and whatever else? He did what he had to do to get by, you may not be selling drugs before you pass judgement on people how about looking at yourself? I'm not saying what he did was right but dude has a dream and he had something to strive for and we all see the result. Only jealousy would make people harp on a his past because you know what? It's irrelevant...it's the past. We all have a past, some darker than others and I'm sure many of you may have done things you aren't proud of. How about living in the now, I see a man who made something of himself, got married to a woman, who's made something of herself and they have a beautiful baby in wedlock. Much better story than the Teen Moms and Kardashians and Lil Wayne's of the industry. Y'all people need to stop focusing on other people's lives and focus on your own. Sheesh!

      BEAUTIFUL !!! GOD's CHILD
      that's who...shameful that people hate even in the presents of a new born..
    • Marie R.  •  3 mths ago
      Baby Blue Ivy is such a beautiful baby. But this doesn't erase the fact that Beyonce and JayZ manipulated the whole maternity floor of the Lenox Hospital, got some complaints from parents who had their babies born were harassed, and eventually the cases were dropped by the Health officials. The couple should have waited to show off the pictures until that memory of manipulation how she was born fades away.

      How come every other celebrity was proud to show off being pregnant and we havent seen but maybe one or two of beyonce ? Did she really give birth im guessing not even Mariah showed off her twins belly
      • surggj 3 mths ago
        Mariah did show off her bump and was terribly big.....swollen, sang at Christmas....I saw one photo and interview of Beyonce and she had a fake pillow for a stomach, was singing without a bump, had a bump again at awards show, then not again. I have made enough fake bellies in costumes for the theatre for 37 years......this woman was not preggers nor had this baby.....albeit it is a beautiful baby but it is not hers......
    • Marilyn  •  3 mths ago
      You've done everything right!!! Bless you Both and Bless that beautiful little girl.

      you have got to be kidding me? u don't honestly expect us to believe this is their biological daughter? looks nothing like them...where's the nappy hair? omg people can be so naive..but then again ignorance is bliss...
      • l 3 mths ago
        you're the naive one here. she looks just like them.
      • daniellea nichols 3 mths ago
        Where's the nappy hair? What an ignorant statement. FYI most african american babies are born with lighter skin and fine hair. The skin color darkens with time and our hair becomes more kinky over time.
      • Lenny 3 mths ago
        You need to get your ignorant #$%$ off this page racist.

      • 3 mths ago
        #$%$?? What do you really know about these people or who or what they've accepted other than what you read about or see on tv or friggin' Youtube? WOW...you know what, keep believing the hype, that exact hype is what keeps them paid.
