Did Beyoncé Honor Rarely-Seen Sir With Special Nod That Fans Almost Missed At Cowboy Carter Show?
knows just how to shine the spotlight on her son, Sir Carter, despite keeping him away from the public eye. Amid her ongoing "" tour, the record-breaking singer took time out to celebrate her twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, turning eight years old. However, beyond the public spectacle, Beyoncé paid a special tribute to her only son, who has faced attacks from celebrities like . During the fourth stop of the Cowboy Carter tour in London, Beyoncé shone the spotlight on her younger kids, making the day all about them. While Rumi was present on stage to receive all the love from thousands of fans, her brother, Sir, is often kept away from the spotlight. Nevertheless, Queen B made sure his presence was felt throughout. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the microphone stand during Thursday's show had a rubber duckling charm attached to it. A recording of the singer belting out the tune to "Alligator Tears" while the charm swung around has since circulated on social media. "The duck on the mic stand today and Bey saying 'peanut butter jelly' during the last show. Did she lose a bet with Rumi and Sir?" the user speculated on X. However, it didn't take long for the Beyhive to unravel the mystery behind the hidden gesture. Fans referenced a revelation from Tina Knowles' 2025 memoir, "The Matriarch," where she allegedly shared one of her grandsons' favorite hobbies. "Ms Tina said Sir gets up early and goes to the swing [and] feeds the ducks. He loves it in the Hamptons," a user explained. "Loves his books and loves to spell, she said." The doting grandmother previously mentioned that Sir is an avid reader in a March 2025 interview with E! News. Ms. Knowles said the introverted preschooler has a favorite story about 'the smallest tree being the most powerful tree." The famous momager explained, "It ends up being the most powerful tree and saving the day, and he loves that book!" Ms. Knowles further noted that while her grandson is reserved, he is "very, very smart" and "does all of the numbers stuff." While Queen Bey rarely speaks about her children, there is no doubt they are the center of her world. She made that obvious on June 12 when she called on fans at the Tottenham Hotspur studio to celebrate her twins. "Everybody say happy birthday, Rumi," the 43-year-old urged the roaring crowd. Beyoncé was in full mother mode as she sweetly hugged Rumi, the celebrant, while big sister Blue Ivy stood by her right. The little one seemed thrilled about the shout-out from fans. "Say happy birthday, Sir! Mommy loves you," the 35-time Grammy winner continued, as seen in the clip shared on social media. Beyoncé then dotingly planted a sweet kiss on Rumi before continuing her performance. Following the serenade, the 8-year-old, who joins her mom and sister on stage for "Protector," was seen getting super emotional as Blue Ivy escorted her off stage. The global popstar welcomed her twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, in June 2017 alongside her husband, Jay-Z. Beyoncé didn't confirm the news of her twins' arrival until July, when she marked their first month's birthday on Instagram with their first-ever photos. Although not in the limelight like their big sister, the twins feature in some of their mother's famous projects. Beyoncé's 2020 "Black Is King" visual album was dedicated to her son, Sir. Rumi, on the other hand, was featured on her country album, "Cowboy Carter." She has also been a part of the ongoing tour since its first show in April 2025. Rumi and Sir's eighth birthday celebration comes months after Kanye West publicly attacked the twins amid his feud with Jay-Z. The disgraced rapper, who has a bone to pick with the power couple missing his 2014 wedding to Kim Kardashian, unleashed an offensive tirade on X. In since-deleted tweets, the Donda Academy founder wrote, "WAIT, HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCE'S YOUNGER KIDS(?)." He added, "THEY'RE RETARDED. NO LIKE LITERALLY, AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMNATION IS SUCH A BLESSING. HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE." West has since apologized to Jay-Z for using a slur to describe his twins. "I'm sorry, Jay Z. I be feeling bad about my tweet, but I still feel I gave my life to this industry, and thought so many people were my family but when I needed family on some real sh-t, none of these rap n—s had my back," he wrote.

‘He feels like he's the smartest guy there': ‘Abbott Elementary's' William Stanford Davis on Mr. Johnson's ‘veneer' of ‘mystery'
William Stanford Davis is "just surprised at how far they'll go sometimes" as you are when it comes to the unexpected details of his Abbott Elementary character Mr. Johnson's life that the writers feature in every script. In Season 4, for example, Mr. Johnson showed up to school dressed as "Emo Jimmy Butler" for Halloween and busted out singing the Oscar-winning "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" at faculty karaoke night. "What I really love about him is his mystery. You don't know what he's going to do next, and you don't know what his experiences are," Davis tells Gold Derby. More from GoldDerby Roy Wood Jr. on how 'Lonely Flowers' became his most personal special to date 'The Shining' at 45: How Stanley Kubrick's Stephen King adaptation became the Razzies biggest regret 'The Bear' star Abby Elliott used her own birth experience to inform the standout Season 3 episode 'Ice Chips' Four season into Abbott Elementary, Davis has plenty of thoughts as to why Mr. Johnson continues to love his job as the reliable — and reliably unpredictable — janitor. "He keeps the school spick and span. I went to a school that was like that, and I saw how these guys worked hard to make sure that we had a place that we could be proud of and a place that was comfortable," the actor says. "That's what I try to base this man on, that he loves his job, he cares for the kids, and he loves needling the teachers and the principal. He loves giving them a hard time because he feels like he's the smartest guy there. He's been all over the world. He's had more experiences than them." In Season 4, Davis shared the screen with three big guest stars. In 'Volunteers,' the crossover of Abbott and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mr. Johnson and Danny DeVito's Frank spar over how to handle rodents terrorizing Gregory's (Tyler James Williams) garden. The actor recalls of working with the screen legend, 'To have Danny DeVito on the show, that's an icon. That's like having royalty on the show, and he was just so cool. He was so easy to work with and he gave a lot of advice. … There's one scene where he's in a cage, he was there before we even got on set, he was in the cage in the mud.' SEE Janelle James on Ava's challenging year on 'Abbott Elementary': 'They kind of threw everything at me this season' A subsequent installment, 'Testing,' introduced Eric André as Cedric, a janitor in training sent to Abbott Elementary by the district to potentially replace Mr. Johnson, though the novice quickly comes to realize he could never do so. While the scenes of Mr. Johnson displaying his unparalleled expertise are hilarious, the episode also has a moment of sincerity between Mr. Johnson and the depressed science teacher, Mr. Morton, played by Jerry Minor. Davis appreciates the moments where he gets to showcase his character's depth. "I love those moments. I'd love to see them more, but Mr. Johnson still has to have that veneer, so they'll give me one in each season, but I love those. I love that you get to see that he's not a caricature or a cartoon, he is a 360-degree, three-dimensional human being like we all are." One of the final episodes of the season features actress and musician Jill Scott, playing herself as the entertainer at this year's school fundraiser. When Gold Derby recently interviewed director Randall Einhorn, he shared that the entire sequence of Scott's performance, which features Davis, had to be reconfigured due to torrential rain that shifted the concert from outside to the narrow halls of the elementary school. "Randall's a genius, man. He is such an amazing director,' Davis says of how the director adapted the scene on the fly. He says he and Williams decided to "keep the rhythm and support" Scott during her performance, adding, "She came out strong, but it was important that we not only kept up with her, but made her feel like we're a group, we're in this together." Disney/Gilles Mingasson The episode, titled 'Ava Fest: Tokyo Drift,' ends with Mr. Johnson admitting to Scott that he is a super-fan, frightening the musician because of how many concerts he has attended and the personal items of hers that he has swiped. Davis initially felt trepidatious about the scene. "I didn't want to stalk her,' he confesses, before asking himself, "How do I make this honest?" His answer: "I just became this over-enthused fan, someone that was just so in love with what she does, and that's who I am in real life. I love Jill Scott. I think I have every one of her recordings." SEE 'Abbott Elementary' bosses on subverting finale expectations, 'the season of Ava,' and their dream crossover Perched behind Davis during our interview is his SAG Award trophy from 2023, when Abbott Elementary took home the honor for comedy ensemble. Reflecting on that victory and Quinta Brunson's acceptance speech, the actor shares, "I think it was the most incredible moment I've had since I've been on the show. To win with them and to be recognized by our peers, by other actors, it just meant so much to everyone." He also comments on how it speaks to the series' legacy: "I think the show's going to go down in history as one of the best shows in television. I like the fact that it shines a light on what we need in our school system. I think that teachers are just as important as doctors, and Abbott in a very comedic way shines a light on how important it is, and I think that overall, that's what I love about the show more than anything." Abbott Elementary begins production on Season 5 shortly. Davis shares that he would most like to see a glimpse of Mr. Johnson's personal life in the next batch of episodes. "We've seen Janine (Brunson) in her home, we've seen Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter) and Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph) in their homes, and we've seen most of the personal lives of the other characters, and I think Mr. Johnson is due for that." He suggests that perhaps Mr. Johnson's mother could still be alive, riffing, "Maybe she's the only person that he bows to, and he's a little kid around her." Davis' dream suggestion for who could play his mother? Five-time Emmy nominee Marla Gibbs. "I've even spoken to her about that when I've seen her at the events," shares the actor with a smile.
