Jay-Z is changing his tune after the birth of his daughter.
The “Empire State of Mind” rapper released a poem to his eight-day-old child, Blue Ivy Carter, vowing to never again use the word “b—h,” NME reported.
“Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich/I didn’t think hard about using the word b—h,” he wrote. “I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it/Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it.”
The 42-year-old part-owner of the New Jersey Nets has been celebrating nonstop since his wife Beyoncé gave birth to the couple’s first child Saturday, Jan. 7, in New York City’s Lenox Hill Hospital.
The poem comes a week after Jay-Z posted a song — the emotional lullaby “Glory, featuring B.I.C.” — that included sounds of Blue Ivy crying. Four days later the single debuted at No. 74 on Billboard’s R&B/hip-hop hit list, making the celebrity infant the youngest artist to ever make the prestigious chart.
Nothing but the best for daddy’s little girl.
“No man will degrade her, or call her names,” Jay-Z writes in his poem to Blue Ivy. “I’m so focused on your future, the degradation has passed. I wish you wealth, health and insight. Forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel.”
