The Sun snaps at BeyJay for ‘spoiling’ Blue Ivy

[Kimmo 80,403]

Beyonce and Jay-Z care more about their fame than letting Blue Ivy be herself

They have been bringing her with them on tour and to various award shows and events at which, thanks to her stylist, she often looks more fashionable than her parents. But if it’s hard to fathom a child in a Gucci suit, try getting your head around this: At the age of seven, when most children are still harbouring fantasies of being an astronaut, or a unicorn, little Blue Ivy, it turns out, wants to be recognised as a “cultural icon”.

Beyonce and Jay Z have been seeking to trademark either “Blue Ivy” or “Blue Ivy Carter” for several years. The problem is that someone else has already trademarked the name. Beyonce has been involved in a trade-mark dispute for years against Wendy Morales, whose wedding planning business goes by the same name.

They care more about their fame and reputation than they do about letting Blue Ivy forge her own path, find her own identity and be herself. Yes, we all pass on our values and, to a degree, our aspirations to our children. But we all owe it to our kids to be aware of where we stop and they begin.

And it seems to me that Beyonce and Jay Z are robbing their daughter of her childhood and suffocating her with their own aspirations. We only have to take one look around at those who haven’t been allowed proper childhoods — Michael Jackson, Macaulay Culkin, Aaron Carter — to see how badly things can go wrong.

Forget designer clothes and cultural icon status, the best thing Blue Ivy’s parents could give her is a proper childhood. We all think our kids are special. Most of us do our best NOT to spoil our kids and keep them grounded, they seem to want the opposite. They need to teach her that money and status is not as important as family, values, morals, kindness and friends.

I'll take credit for it. I agree with everything that's been written. That girl's childhood is being taken away too soon.

I don’t think they’re robbing her of a childhood, it’s not hard for me to imagine a child being a child but also wearing Versace or Gucci (because that’s what I want to give my own child when I have them). She’s still having a childhood it’s just working class people can’t fathom that people with money can still have regular lives growing up just with the addition of having your dream parties and outfits all the time.

Also Blue doesn’t wanna be a cultural icon, I believe it’s an inside joke that Beyonce and Jay present to the world because of their status. Also children having realistic expectations and job ideas when they wanna grow up is not unheard of.

Plus; it’s the The Sun and they don’t like any minority so it’s weird they chose to write about a black famous family’s lifestyle and what the public think their life and aspirations is like but they never did this when white famous mum’s were buying their children into Harvard or anything.

Also; I was a spoiled child but I had a great childhood, still had aspirations of wanting to be a princess and stuff, had great friends and still was bullied and powered through school, and I’m also still a heavily grounded person

I kinda agree even though it's The Sun, her cameo on Beyonce visual album was cute but now it feels like they're really trying to put her in the spotlight when she's still a child.

Well it's common for people who were famous as children to have problems later in life. I know there are some who go on to be successful with no issues. But it just doesn't seem right how Blue Ivy is being thrust into the spotlight before she's old enough to understand and make her own decisions. 

I'm not criticising the parenting because it's none of my business. But it does concern me when people like Kim Kardashian post pictures of their children that are clearly edited because that could have a detrimental effect on their self esteem when they are older and I feel like the same could happen with Beyonce's kid.

It really seems to me that Blue is being molded into a cultural icon and star. But it's important that she develops her sense of self first.

How do you know that she isn't?

I find it so weird when people talk about celebrity kids and what they need etc as if they have a clue? None of us know these people.

The thing about editing pictures of children I absolutely agree with though.

I said I'm not criticising their parenting. They could be providing her with everything she needs to be confident and successful in her own right but as an outsider looking in, it doesn't seem right to me that she be in the spotlight at a young age. That's just my opinion.

They're absolutely right, I don't care if it's coming from The Sun. Fact is that pushing your aspirations onto your child from a very young age usually results in them rebelling and if they're pushed into fame into the bargain and have to grow up in the public eye under a microscope, the chances of going off the rails increases tenfold. I don't have to tell you of the long list of child stars who have ended up in a bad place and still are, we already know the names. Some may say that Blue is choosing this for herself but even if she is, that's natural for someone who's grown up with 2 famous parents and been around the celebrity circuit. They want a career in this world because fame is normal for them. But that's a distorted version of living and we don't realise that until we're older. Blue has been attending celebrity events with her parents dressed in designer gear and last year, she was allowed to "bid" on a painting worth thousands. I remember when she was even a few months old that Beyonce told Oprah in an interview that she had her own book club. So we know for a fact that her parents aren't letting her lead a normal life. A child's aspirations will always be pulled in a certain direction when this is their life. Most adults don't know what they want to do with their life, a child sure doesn't. That's why when a child gets into hobbies, they tend to be very short-lived and results in a lot of wasted money from the parents when they want to give it up. When I was a child, my aspirations always changed and now I'm not interested in these careers at all and have no idea what I want. Why should children of famous parents be any different? Raise your child as if they're not famous at all, that's the best chance you have of them turning out right.

That's wildly exaggerated. And the college admissions scandal has been widely spoken about and I don't see anyone cutting Felicity Huffman any slack. Whenever a celebrity gets barely any jail time or gets off completely, there's always a public outcry, race is irrelevant. Most people are judging the crime committed, not the race. And I remember the public being highly critical of Lindsay Lohan's mother when she was trying to make her little sister famous despite Lindsay already being a victim of celebrity culture. Focus on the behaviour, not the race.
