Jay-Z will no longer use the word "bitch" now that he has a daughter
The exceedingly rare miracle of human birth—in which a tiny and defenseless new person is created by two wealthy and famous people working in concert—continues to have a profound effect on its most notable participant, Jay-Z, who has valiantly striven to put into words the incredible life changes it has spurred in him, so that we might all live through his unique experience vicariously. And while the world that is Jay-Z’s Facebook page waits for an official follow-up ballad to “Glory,” perhaps one set to a syncopated baby rattle and a Chris Martin hook, NME reports that Jay-Z has already released another work inspired by his daughter Blue Ivy Carter, this time in the form of a poem. And, if the lyrics are accurate, they represent yet another personal epiphany for the rapper, as Jay-Z has apparently vowed to stop using the word “bitch” in Blue Ivy’s honor—having realized upon having a daughter that the term “bitch” is disrespectful to women. But mostly to Blue Ivy Carter, who, again, is his daughter.
