Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of super celeb couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z, is a child who
never asked to be in the spotlight.
But with a Queen B mom, the spotlight was bound to follow her from the time she was
born.
And this little princess is already living the good life.
Tracks and tours
You can already hear Blue Ivy's little voice on songs from both her mother and father.
At the very end of the song "Blue" from Beyoncé's 2013 self-titled album, you can hear the then-toddler
adorably trying to pronounce her mom's name.
She also co-stars in the music video for the song.
On Jay-Z's album 4:44, the song "Legacy" is all about what he'll leave to his kids after
he's gone.
The track begins with Blue Ivy asking,
"Daddy, what's a will?"
Having the chance to go on tour with Beyoncé herself is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Unfortunately for Blue Ivy, she probably doesn't even remember much of it, since she was 19
months old at the time.
But that's okay, because her mom remembers it enough for the both of them.
According to Cosmopolitan, Beyonce said in a 2013 press conference,
"It's really interesting because I'm touring with my daughter for the first time, and my
dream has always been to be able to balance my life and my career.
I think it's the one thing that women struggle with because it's so difficult."
Trademark name?
When your mom is a brand, you're born into a thriving business.
So it makes sense that Beyoncé and Jay-Z tried to trademark the name Blue Ivy soon
after she was born in 2012, according to Rolling Stone.
The entrepreneurial couple would do this in order to sell products under the Blue Ivy
brand.
However, TMZ reported that the owner of an event planning company called Blue Ivy blocked
Beyonce from getting the trademark and even submitted legal documents to try to prevent
her from getting the trademark to the longer version Blue Ivy Carter.
In February 2018, The Blast acquired documents indicating that the two parties met.
The event planning company owner allegedly tried to get Beyoncé to buy her company for
$10 million, and in exchange she would forego the trademark.
Beyoncé passed on the offer as she now holds evidence that the whole scheme was a money
grab.
Slaying Halloween
Seeing Blue Ivy's Halloween costumes throughout the years brings a new meaning to trick or
treat.
Her adorableness mixed with her parents' creativity is definitely a treat to behold every October.
There's a high bar for celebrity Halloween costumes and now it sometimes seems like famous
people's assistants planned their clients' October 31st looks months in advance.
But in 2014, Beyoncé and Blue dressed up as Janet and Michael Jackson for Halloween,
and even amidst some fierce competition, this costume one of the best.
In 2016, Blue accompanied her mom and dad dressed as iconic 1950s Ken and Barbie.
And that was a busy Halloween, because Blue also had the chance to dress up with her mom
as the '90s group Salt-N-Pepa.
In both decades, she served up some seriously enviable Halloween style.
Perfect prankster
Blue Ivy may only be in the single digits, but she's got a slightly dark, totally hilarious
sense of humor.
In September 2018, Tina Knowles Lawson shared one of her granddaughter's epic pranks on
Instagram.
In the video, Blue has prepared a yummy-looking breakfast, but everything is not what it seems.
"Ahhh!
It's a hand.
Ah, oh my god.
What did you do, Blue?
Ah, now you put a brown one, oh my goodness."
After finding the two Barbie hands in her eggs, Blue Ivy's grandmother called her breakfast
"hands and eggs" in her Instagram caption.
Expressing her feelings
When Jay-Z sat down for an interview on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David
Letterman, he shared an adorable story about his oldest child.
The rapper revealed that his daughter had been asking a bunch of questions while he
was trying to get her to school, so he responded by telling his daughter to, quote, "just get
in the car."
"I just hear a little voice, 'Dad?'
And I turn around, she says, 'I didn't like when you told me to get in the car the way
you told me.'"
Little Blue Ivy was just 6 years old at the time, but apparently already knew how to communicate
effectively.
She went on to let her father know that he had hurt her feelings, and she wasn't happy
about it.
"I was like, 'That's the most beautiful thing you've ever said to me.'"
