Beyoncé's Old Parenting Comments Resurface Amid Blue Ivy's Tour Appearance
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An old interview with Beyoncé has resurfaced with fans praising the superstar's unwavering parenting philosophy with regards to daughter Blue Ivy Carter's meteoric rise to fame. In the clip from The Early Show in June 2001, when Beyoncé was still performing as part of Destiny's Child and promoting the group's Survivor album, the singer was asked whether she would allow her future daughter to pursue a career like hers. Her answer was: "Definitely, if she wanted to do it. But I would make sure she knew all of the hard work that came with it." Now 13, Blue Ivy is living proof that her mother meant what she said.

More Kevin Winter / Staff/Getty Images Entertainment A Beyoncé fan on X, formerly Twitter, @nessasgroove, shared a video compilation, which garnered over 624,600 likes and more than 3.5 million views, with the caption: "I see A LOT of people saying Beyoncé is forcing Blue Ivy to be on stage. This is what she wants to do and clearly enjoys dancing on stage with her mother." The teenager recently made headlines after joining her mom onstage to open the Cowboy Carter tour at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium. Blue Ivy dazzled as she danced to "Déjà Vu" and took center stage for "America Has a Problem," earning widespread praise for her talent. But Blue Ivy's place under the spotlight wasn't handed to her—she earned it. Newsweek has reached out to Beyoncé's publicist for comment. In Beyoncé's 2023 Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, the superstar opened up about her daughter's desire to perform and the resistance she initially felt. "Blue told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no. I did not think it was an appropriate place for an 11-year-old on a stadium stage," Beyoncé said. "All the things that I had to go through and obstacles I had to overcome prepared me, and she hasn't had that struggle. I made a deal with her, and I said, if you practice and you show your commitment, I'll let you do one show." That single show became many. Blue Ivy appeared at several stops on the Renaissance tour, though her journey wasn't without setbacks. After seeing harsh criticism on social media about her early performances, the young dancer doubled down on her efforts. What followed was a transformation. "I feel like now my mindset has changed, and now I actually have to wake up in the morning and go to rehearsals. And I have to actually work hard," Blue Ivy said in the documentary. That work ethic paid off. Fans and critics alike noted Blue Ivy's improvement, with one TikTok comment reading: "Blue Ivy trained harder for the Renaissance Tour after reading comments about her lackluster dance moves." Jai commented: "She has EVERYTHING at her disposal & CHOOSES to put in the work for what she wants out of life. Anyone that doesn't respect that, is just miserable." "That baby could've gave up after all the hate but she let it fuel her instead," posted Mylie. Now hailed online as "the greatest nepo baby in world history," Blue Ivy is proving that she is more than her last name. While her parents—Beyoncé and Jay-Z—are estimated to be worth a combined $3 billion, Blue Ivy is carving out a name of her own. She already holds a Grammy for her vocals on "Brown Skin Girl"; earned praise for her recent voice acting in Mufasa: The Lion King; and is estimated to have a net worth exceeding $500 million—before even reaching high school. Blue Ivy continues to shine alongside her mother as an integral part of the Beyhive in the worldwide Cowboy Carter tour, which spans 32 dates. The question remains if Rumi will follow in the same path as her sister, after joining her mom on stage in an adorable embrace during the opening night of the tour.

Embracing the theme 'In honour of Karl,' the Morbius star turned heads by showing up dressed as Karl Lagerfeld's iconic pet cat, Choupette, truly taking the tribute to a whole new level. A post shared by Getty Images Entertainment (@gettyentertainment) Jared Leto wasn't alone in channelling Choupette at the 2023 Met Gala. Doja Cat also embraced the feline theme for her debut appearance, donning realistic cat prosthetics, claw-like nails, and a dazzling diamond headpiece complete with cat ears. And in true Doja fashion, she stayed in character all night, answering red carpet questions with actual meows. A post shared by Just Jared (@justjared) Lil Nas X is known for going all out at the Met Gala, and 2023 was no exception. The rapper turned heads in a daring metallic Dior Men thong, his entire body covered in silver paint and adorned with pearls and crystals. He even added a subtle nod to Karl Lagerfeld's cat, Choupette, with shimmering silver whiskers completing the bold look. A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) Kim Kardashian embraced full anonymity at the 2021 Met Gala, stepping onto the red carpet in a head-to-toe black Balenciaga haute couture gown. Complete with a matching train and face-covering mask, the look left fans and onlookers doing double-takes, wondering who was behind the mysterious ensemble. A post shared by Priyanka (@priyankachopra) Priyanka Chopra Jonas fully embraced the "Camp: Notes on Fashion" theme at the Met Gala, turning heads in a dramatic Dior Haute Couture ensemble. Her look featured a statement crown, a corset with cage detailing, vibrant feathers, and a flowing cape, delivering a bold, theatrical moment on the red carpet. A post shared by Cardi B (@iamcardib) Cardi B stole the spotlight at the 2019 Met Gala in a jaw-dropping custom Thom Browne gown. Drenched in deep red, the dramatic outfit was adorned with 30,000 feathers and took a team of 35 people over 2,000 hours to craft. To top it off, the look featured 44-carat ruby nipples designed by Stefere Jewellery. At the 2019 Met Gala, Katy Perry embraced the "Camp: Notes on Fashion" theme in a dramatic Moschino chandelier outfit designed by Jeremy Scott. Weighing 40 pounds and adorned with working lights, the look was bold, theatrical, and impossible to miss. Perry even joked she wouldn't be sitting down and added to the moment by singing a snippet of Sia's 'Chandelier' on the red carpet. A post shared by National Dress Day (@nationaldressday) Rihanna's Met Gala outfits are always unforgettable, and her 2023 look was no exception. While pregnant, she wowed in a bold Valentino ensemble that made her resemble an enormous rosebush. The outfit featured a massive train, yet somehow still managed to look surprisingly comfy. A post shared by Christopher Paul Horne (@itschristopherhorne) Janelle Monáe definitely brings the "wacky" factor to every red carpet, and the Met Gala 2023 was no different. She rocked a bold Thom Browne black-and-white coat that was already making a statement, but the real surprise came halfway up the stairs when she removed the coat to reveal a sheer pannier dress and bikini underneath. A post shared by Getty Images Entertainment (@gettyentertainment) Frank Ocean's Met Gala moment was impossible to forget, thanks to him bringing a green robot baby as his plus-one, seemingly to promote his luxury brand, Homer. The baby was eerily lifelike, with its head and arms moving, giving it an uncanny valley vibe that was both mesmerising and a bit unsettling. The fact that it left everyone staring? Definitely part of the plan.
