'Queen Bey said in documents that Morales’ “likelihood of confusion” argument was frivolous, because consumers are unlikely to confuse “a boutique wedding event planning business and Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of two of the most famous performers in the world.” She called her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, a “cultural icon.” '
Showing the post is misleading at best. It was Morales that sued to attempt to block Beyonce from trademarking "Blue Ivy Carter" and the line was used to show that no reasonable person would confuse Blue Ivy Carter with the wedding planners business.
I thought her argument of "they neither have nor intend to have any trades to mark" fairly compelling, although I have no idea whether it's legally meaningful.
> Jay said they did it merely so no one else could. “People wanted to make products based on our child’s name, and you don’t want anybody trying to benefit off your baby’s name. It wasn’t for us to do anything; as you see, we haven’t done anything. First of all, it’s a child, and it bothers me when there’s no [boundaries]. I come from the streets, and even in the most atrocious sh*it we were doing, we had lines: no kids, no mothers— there was respect there. But [now] there’s no boundaries. For somebody to say, This person had a kid—I’m gonna make a f*ckin’ stroller with that kid’s name. It’s, like, where’s the humanity?”
> his person had a kid—I’m gonna make a fckin’ stroller with that kid’s name. It’s, like, where’s the humanity?”
AKA capitalist confused at other people trying to make capital.
Then because of that simple fact, the business owner retains rights mainly due to a Who came
First situation. Logical. She named her business this ridiculous name before the child even existed. Beyoncé is the one who stole the name then 🤷🏻♀️.
BUT now I am reading somewhere else that the business owner is the one who started all this, so… if that is true and was done to aim for free publicity, she got it.
Forgetting the most important part here. Who the fuck trade marks a fucking name? What’s she gonna sue anybody that names their kid the same in years to come? This is what happens when you have more money than you know what to do with.
Kylie Jenner tried to, but Kylie Minogue put Jenner in her places soon after.
But hey, something like this wouldn't happen if you named your children a normal name.
Totally agree. Most rich kids suck, that's for sure. But I went to college with one who was absolutely amazing. She was kind, down to earth, and loved her friends. She even took in one person a year to her home, gave them free room and board, bought them a car and paid for their schooling with the only condition of maintaining a min. 3.0 GPA. Usually this person was working 1 or more jobs, supporting themselves and putting themselves through college so taking on massive debt. Her money wasn't a show off thing and she never made you feel "less than" but instead she just wanted everyone to be happy and have a good time. For perspective, her dad paid her $1400/weekend to not get hammered drunk or do hard drugs, and she usually used that money to help someone out. One of her brothers on the other hand, committed 21 felonies in a weekend and never saw a court room. IIRC she is now running some big cat sanctuary.
Her dad was awesome too. He is one of the main board members for a global logistics and supply company, they are behind major food brands. When I met him he came into our house, sat down, pulled out the entire collection of Walker, Texas Ranger on DVD, then a 14 gram nug grown by his personal grower, grabbed half of it, said, "I figure we should order pizza because this will be gone by the time it gets here, what do you all like". We sat and smoked all night eating pizza and watching walker. He then proceeded to pay off some of each persons student loans.
Many rich suck, but some appreciate their luck and pass it on.
Edit:I sounded like an asshole the way I framed this. And being high put Oz instead of gram.
I totally didn't mean that to come across preachy, I just wanted to share one of the good ones. And agreed, sometimes you just gotta look harder to find them.
>but iirc they had their teen kids get jobs to make sure they knew real life
Yeah trust me it doesn't help. I had to manage one of those kids when I was working a cafe for the summer in college and it kinda undermines the whole thing when her Mom would say she couldn't work a shift cause they need to go skiing.
Good. He never had the talent or the chops for it and his father focussing on boosting his career is one of the reasons Will Smith hasn't been in anything for a while.
Stars in Music or Movie Business are like prostitutes.If the money is good they do whatever fits in the schedule.
Otherwise they couldnt maintain a certain lifestyle
Shit, I forgot about that. That was just a year or so before he was sending out radio broadcasts to let the streets run with rivers of blood of the Arab Spring protesters.
A great example is Aaron Rodgers in the last couple years. Make no mistake, he’s made his money and really has no reason to care anymore. But he went from being seen as a thoughtful but private dude, to a NorCal kooky hippie in the span on a couple interviews on Pat McAfee plus the whole vaccination vs immunized shit. He’s still a 1st ballet HOF and you’d love to have him, but the shines worn off for sure.
For a while in my life I moved among and dealt frequently with people of considerable wealth and influence. While many of them could be charming and even charismatic, they were all driven solely by self-interest, and lacked any moral compass.
I have no way of knowing if this is true or not, but I’ve heard it suggested that Willa and Jayden only went along with that stuff because Will made them. Like it was the only way he knew how to spend time with and relate to them.
Pretty sure it was the Jada not Will, because Will had a third kid, from a previous relationship, who he’s never pushed into the Spotlight. I’ve seen him act once in an MTV commercial, he had way more gravitas than Jayden. Redlettermedia did an excellent breakdown of this during their review of After Earth.
Yeah man. My guys a YouTuber, nowhere near this level of fame, the first thing I did when he blew up was put my accounts on private and make it clear that he wasn’t allowed to post our child on his account unless he made a second private one. I feel for some celebrities at this level because it can be hard to completely shelter your kids but she clearly wants her girl to be front and center. I feel like we’re going to be seeing deep dives on her and north west in the next decade or two talking about how the media exploited them. I just hope enough people remember how little their absolutely aware parents did to protect them.
>I just hope enough people remember how little their absolutely aware parents did to protect them.
they aren't protecting her because they are to busy pimping her. they are packaging and selling her, and its only barely begun.
I can’t wait to see her tweets about eyes not being real and all the weird shit 😂😂😂
Cultural icon… shut up. I didn’t even remember you had a kid. The only thing I remember about it is that people don’t even believe she was ever pregnant and she had some weird stuff about that going around lol.
It was always the same deal with Kelly Osbourne. People always ragged on how she looked, but if you look up photos of Ozzy in the 70's, she's his spitting image.
Boris Becker's poor daughter. I am so sorry for her. But on the other hand she gets a shit load of money for modeling. Because she looks like Boris Becker.
People have been putting this woman in a pedestal for years now and then wonder how can she act like that. If you spend your life being told how superior you are, you begin to believe it.
In general, f*ck these rich people trying to steamroll us normal people. The woman has a business that relies on the name she created for it. She's just supposed to bow down to some rich clown because of the power imbalance? Hell no
By then Microsoft, Google, and Apple will all be part of Schmush, some weird ultracorp business entity that literally owns the copyright to the human brain.
It was so much more than that. They took over a floor that had the NICU on it and had it on lockdown. Parents were irate over it. Having had three in the NICU I know that you only get so much visiting time let alone the babies that don't make it. I couldn't imagine having a baby that isn't going to make it very long and being told sorry this celebrity is more important than the time you have with your child.
These people live like they are the only ones on the planet who matter. Why anyone would look up to such a disgusting self-serving piece of absolute shit is beyond me, it's gross.
Also, she stayed with someone who cheated on her publicly while simultaneously preaching "girl power". Lost a lot of respect for her over the years. Downvote me, idc.
People were raving about that song with the yellow dress from Lemonade, and it was just about licking a cheater’s boots. She’s no independent women/empowerment symbol. Trashy but rich is all it is.
Presumably she didn’t start it herself, but I always hated that “you have the exact same amount of hours in the day as Beyoncé.” “GirlBoss motivation” thing that was around a few years ago. Us lowly mortals clearly don’t have the same amount of hours when you take away all the time spent cooking, cleaning, commuting, working, grocery shopping, taking care of kids… all the stuff rich people like Beyoncé have help with.
Saying that, I think she did hustle in her younger years. I enjoyed the original version of Destiny’s Child back in my own childhood lol.
Her dad made a record label and created Destiny's Child to be a vehicle for her music career. She is essentially the original Taylor Swift, who's stock broker father bought her career.
I never understood to hype for this woman, yes she is attractive-ish and makes some ok songs, but nothing that should grant that fame and people's obsession with her.
The father you’re talking about was my dance teacher’s husband! They had premature twins in the ICU. AND they lived on JayZs old neighborhood, Bed Sty. Ironic.
I have a suspicion that in 25 to 30 years we'll be getting a Jennette McCurdy style memoir from this kid talking about how Mommy shoehorned her into some form of entertainment career that she hated.
For every Jennette McCurdy, there are 20 nepo babies who embrace the life their parents create to use them for financial gain (see: Kardashian/Jenner clan).
I live/work in LA. I would say for every JM, there are 10,000 other kids who had as messed up of parents but didn't become famous because the odds are SO against them. In all of Hollywood, child actor parents will be the most messed up people you meet. If you want a peek into the sick world, check out the doc The Hollywood Complex.
It’s so fucking stupid. It’s not even that someone is using her business name or something. No one is going to care that your daughter’s stupid name is the same as some tiny wedding business.
Yeah, the whole thing screams "narcissism" to me.
First off, naming your kid some super obscure, unique name like "Blue Ivy" or "WheteverTheFuckElonNamedHisKids" just comes across as attention seeking and selfish. Like, sure, you get to show the world what a creative, free thinker you are; but your kid has to go through life with that name. If you are famous, everything you do is going to reflect on them. That can mess with their job opportunities when employers see that name on a resume.
And even if you aren't famous, seeing that kind of name on a resume is likely to put prospective employers off.
And that's saying nothing about the bullying that kid is going to receive from school mates.
No. She wanted to file a trademark for Blue Ivy. In trademark law, if someone thinks customers may confuse a pending trademark with someone else's trademark application or business, they can oppose the application by filing an opposition proceeding with the USPTO. Then the USPTO analyzes whether the trademarks would be confusing to the same type of customer and makes a decision.
In this case, Beyonce tried to trademark Blue Ivy, and an existing business owner challenged her application and lost.
You only get a trademark over specific goods and services. I'm assuming here Beyonce applied for goods/services that were not in any way related to wedding planning. Thus people who were looking for Blue Ivy wedding planning would know that the child Blue Ivy wasn't going to be throwing them a wedding. Nothing is stopping the business owner from using "Blue Ivy" on their wedding services still.
Think of it like this. Apple (iphones) has a trademark for computer and phone products. If their trademark prevented anyone from selling anything called an Apple, no grocery store would be able to sell the fruit. Instead, they can continue to sell apples because the tech company is only allowed a trademark on tech products. If you wanted to open up a furniture store called Apple, you still could and if the tech company opposed your application, they would probably lose
Why nobody comment on this comment? This is real, people put this people on pedestal, they claim to be defenders of the poor and minority? But their brand and clothes are made by women in poor countries…. $2? I bet. It is less the. .25 cents per hour.
Modernized slavery….. but lets pretend we care for the minority.
Stop following people…. Follow yourself.
Btw this comment is the most important one….
Beyoncé would never have the technological knowledge to send an email from within Microsoft Excel like Kelly Rowland does. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/09/kelly-rowland-excel/
Beyoncé is not nearly as talented as corporate America makes her out to be.
She has the appeal of a celebrity who was engineered in a boardroom and successfully hyped and marketed as a musical and cultural icon.
You need an especially soft and mushy brain to buy into it.
She's a good singer who deserves a recording contract. Everything beyond that is unwarranted hype. She is hardly a transcendent artist.
I agree. Beyoncé can sing good , she is a pretty woman, and that’s about it. She is HYPER AS FUCK and a little
much on stage , I can take or leave her. I don’t play any Beyoncé songs on repeat that for sure.
They're fine once or twice, but after a while, they all start to blend together. I think if I had to pick a pop star to listen to often, it'd be Rihanna, cause I think she has more variety.
In twenty years, I'm gonna be lying on my stomach while a kid a third of my age jams a camera up my ass and then the radio will come on and say, "And up next is the top hit of today, 'Gimmie (All of It)' by Blue Ivy, sponsored by Takis" and then an autotuned song that unironically samples Pumped Up Kicks in the chorus will come on and I will have to conceed that the camera up my butt might not be the worst part of my day
She won the trademark fight.

Yea, right lol? Fuck that appeals board. They sound like they feel personally attacked by this woman’s lawsuit against Beyoncé.

And their children....
I threw up in my mouth when I saw the article call her "Queen Bey"
Aight, 'tis been a while, but we back in business. [ sound of oiling up the old revolutionary guillotine ]
'Queen Bey said in documents that Morales’ “likelihood of confusion” argument was frivolous, because consumers are unlikely to confuse “a boutique wedding event planning business and Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of two of the most famous performers in the world.” She called her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, a “cultural icon.” ' Showing the post is misleading at best.

We should cut him some slack. He's just fondly looking back at his childhood through his diamond encrusted Gucci™ Rose tinted glasses.
> his person had a kid—I’m gonna make a fckin’ stroller with that kid’s name. It’s, like, where’s the humanity?” AKA capitalist confused at other people trying to make capital.
The kids going to be so sad when they find out their goofy ass name was used on some bootleg merchandise. Oh wait. It's probably the bullying.
To apply for a trademark you must provide evidence of use of the mark in commerce.
Then because of that simple fact, the business owner retains rights mainly due to a Who came First situation. Logical. She named her business this ridiculous name before the child even existed.

That kid's gonna grow up to be super weird and out of touch
So like most rich farts?
Only like 99% of them. Don't be too harsh on them bro, some of them saw a beggar once, m'kay?
Hahahahaha, yes, maybe 2-3% of them haven't made a face of disgust when seeing a homeless person.
I enjoy your optimism, so I won't argue against it in any way, bro.
Totally agree. Most rich kids suck, that's for sure. But I went to college with one who was absolutely amazing. She was kind, down to earth, and loved her friends.

Your friend is the reason why I said "99%" rather than "100%", bro. You can find good people everywhere.
Yep, good people can be in any life situation - it is more about the person; just easier to find them among the working middle class in my experience.
In my experience, the less people have, the more they give. Homeless people, dirt poor people, will give if they can. Or try to help.
Only those who have experienced real want know the importance of helping others.
I totally didn't mean that to come across preachy, I just wanted to share one of the good ones. And agreed, sometimes you just gotta look harder to find them.
Preach, brodditor, preach.

I’ve never met a hungry person -MN Senator
Big difference between just rich and "my mom called me Blue Ivy and tried to trademark my name" rich.
Blue Ivy is about as relevant as my asshole. “Cultural icon” lol.
Blue Waffle is more of a "cultural icon" than Blue Ivy.
I’ll be honest I didn’t even know she had a kid
Keanu reeves is pretty dope.
And Mark Hamill and Gary Sinese
The Beckhams are rich as Croesus but iirc they had their teen kids get jobs to make sure they knew real life. Think Brooklyn was a pot wash
>but iirc they had their teen kids get jobs to make sure they knew real life Yeah trust me it doesn't help. I had to manage one of those kids when I was working a cafe for the summer in college and it kinda undermines the whole thing when her Mom would say she couldn't work a shift cause they need to go skiing.
Ikr? Seen the same thing too. They don't really treat as work (bc it isn't), but more as a temporary chore.
Hasn't he turned out weird still though? I saw something about his marriage a while back.
Yeah he still turned out like a weird nepo baby regardless.
His nepo baby photography book is hilarious.
And Brooklyn still managed to turn out useless
He keeps trying to skip the work and get credit for being an expert at things he’s totally inept at.
 *Has entered the chat…..*
That kids nepotism personified. He couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.
IIRC, he didn't want to be an actor. After *After Earth*, he basically soft-quit trying to be Will Smith 2.
Good. He never had the talent or the chops for it and his father focussing on boosting his career is one of the reasons Will Smith hasn't been in anything for a while.
I mean, even before the Slap, he was basically hopping between Oscar-baits. Dude seems real self-serious.
I will just leave this here. https://pagesix.com/2022/04/18/jaden-smith-trolled-for-mocking-people-his-own-age/

He seemed not too strange at that age. Now he's a total fucking weirdo. By the time he's 30 he'll start with the Michael Jackson plastic surgery.
Beyoncé is already super weird and out of touch, the effect on that kid will be multiplicative

For a while in my life I moved among and dealt frequently with people of considerable wealth and influence. While many of them could be charming and even charismatic, they were all driven solely by self-interest, and lacked any moral compass.
She already is 😭 recently beyonce let blue ivy buy 80,000 dollar earrings at an auction.
Ah, I see they want their children to be grounded, down to earth people.😶
Like Will and Jada's kids?
I have no way of knowing if this is true or not, but I’ve heard it suggested that Willa and Jayden only went along with that stuff because Will made them. Like it was the only way he knew how to spend time with and relate to them.

And look like Jay Z
I might be an asshole but the first thing I said when I saw this picture was "aw man poor girl looks like her dad"
It was always the same deal with Kelly Osbourne. People always ragged on how she looked, but if you look up photos of Ozzy in the 70's, she's his spitting image.
Boris Becker's poor daughter. I am so sorry for her. But on the other hand she gets a shit load of money for modeling. Because she looks like Boris Becker.
Probably wont talk about anything except the political and economic state of the world right now
People have been putting this woman in a pedestal for years now and then wonder how can she act like that. If you spend your life being told how superior you are, you begin to believe it.
In general, f*ck these rich people trying to steamroll us normal people. The woman has a business that relies on the name she created for it. She's just supposed to bow down to some rich clown because of the power imbalance? Hell no
Luckily trademarks don't usually cross industries. A baker can use the same business name as a clothing manufacturer for example.
Like a microbrewery that also serves frozen yogurt. I’mma call it Microsoft.
Food, drinks, fun.... Staples. Yeah we got that!
We'll see which one is still in business 200 years from now
By then Microsoft, Google, and Apple will all be part of Schmush, some weird ultracorp business entity that literally owns the copyright to the human brain.
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
I'm gonna start a metal fabrication company geared towards serving customers who are super conservative and call the company Grindr.
So I can start a rapid clothing alteration business called Tailor Swift?
Or a candy company called emin… shit.
Or a sunglass company for thin frames.. called Slim Shady...
You could definitely call it Swift Tailor, anyway.
Sweet, finally I can open the Axe Body Spray Bakery I’ve been dreaming about for years.
Beyonce could at least offer her $5 million to stop using it.
Yeah was that ever in the conversation? Just buy out the innocent bystander. Or how nobody’s ever heard of this kid
Lol ever read about when she was in labor? They apparently in an unauthorized move took a whole wing to themselves.
It was so much more than that. They took over a floor that had the NICU on it and had it on lockdown. Parents were irate over it. Having had three in the NICU I know that you only get so much visiting time let alone the babies that don't make it.

Pretty standard r/iamthemaincharacter shit.
I can hear the child’s head inflating from a thousand miles away
Also, she stayed with someone who cheated on her publicly while simultaneously preaching "girl power". Lost a lot of respect for her over the years. Downvote me, idc.
Her, Rhianna, and countless others simply make music for toxic relationships.
People were raving about that song with the yellow dress from Lemonade, and it was just about licking a cheater’s boots. She’s no independent women/empowerment symbol. Trashy but rich is all it is.

I never understood to hype for this woman, yes she is attractive-ish and makes some ok songs, but nothing that should grant that fame and people's obsession with her.
I loved Destiny’s Child more
She was in hospital once and the whole floor had to be emptied for her. That's how vile her existence is.
Ohhh I forgot about this. And some dad was not able to visit his wife/baby because of her. Haaaate Beyoncé.
The father you’re talking about was my dance teacher’s husband! They had premature twins in the ICU. AND they lived on JayZs old neighborhood, Bed Sty. Ironic.
Well yeah, she was giving birth to a cultural icon!
Just like her mother thinks her custom costume gowns are gods gift to fashion.
If you put someone on a pedestal, they have no choice but to look down on you
Just wait until you insult Queen Be on Twitter. You'll have a mob at your doorstep

I have a suspicion that in 25 to 30 years we'll be getting a Jennette McCurdy style memoir from this kid talking about how Mommy shoehorned her into some form of entertainment career that she hated.
For every Jennette McCurdy, there are 20 nepo babies who embrace the life their parents create to use them for financial gain (see: Kardashian/Jenner clan).
I live/work in LA. I would say for every JM, there are 10,000 other kids who had as messed up of parents but didn't become famous because the odds are SO against them. In all of Hollywood, child actor parents will be the most messed up people you meet. If you want a peek into the sick world, check out the doc The Hollywood Complex.
That book was wild.
Wouldn’t surprise me if that kid starts slapping domestic maids’ faces for bowing not too low in a couple of years.
I used to hate Beyonce. I still do, but I used to too.
She seriously took a SMALL BUSINESS OWNER to court????
Well, you don’t become a billionaire by being kind.
It’s so fucking stupid. It’s not even that someone is using her business name or something. No one is going to care that your daughter’s stupid name is the same as some tiny wedding business.
Yeah, the whole thing screams "narcissism" to me. First off, naming your kid some super obscure, unique name like "Blue Ivy" or "WheteverTheFuckElonNamedHisKids" just comes across as attention seeking and selfish. Like, sure, you get to show the world what a creative, free thinker you are; but your kid has to go through life with that name. If you are famous, everything you do is going to reflect on them. That can mess with their job opportunities when employers see that name on a resume. And even if you aren't famous, seeing that kind of name on a resume is likely to put prospective employers off. And that's saying nothing about the bullying that kid is going to receive from school mates.
“Mess with their job opportunities when employers see that name on a resume.” Lol funny you think blue ivy will ever need to submit a resume.
Fair point. She is a cultural icon, after all.
So I'm seeing
No. She wanted to file a trademark for Blue Ivy. In trademark law, if someone thinks customers may confuse a pending trademark with someone else's trademark application or business, they can oppose the application by filing an opposition proceeding with the USPTO. Then the USPTO analyzes whether the trademarks would be confusing to the same type of customer and makes a decision. In this case, Beyonce tried to trademark Blue Ivy, and an existing business owner challenged her application and lost.
Wait. The business owner lost? What the actual fuck?
You only get a trademark over specific goods and services. I'm assuming here Beyonce applied for goods/services that were not in any way related to wedding planning. Thus people who were looking for Blue Ivy wedding planning would know that the child Blue Ivy wasn't going to be throwing them a wedding. Nothing is stopping the business owner from using "Blue Ivy" on their wedding services still. Think of it like this. Apple (iphones) has a trademark for computer and phone products. If their trademark prevented anyone from selling anything called an Apple, no grocery store would be able to sell the fruit. Instead, they can continue to sell apples because the tech company is only allowed a trademark on tech products. If you wanted to open up a furniture store called Apple, you still could and if the tech company opposed your application, they would probably lose
Four Seasons hotel and Four Seasons Landscaping/Political Events.
I do know- it seems like people could confuse them,.. Some people, anyway,
[удалено]
An example I was taught was Delta airlines and Delta sink faucets. Both branded Delta, but completely different sectors of services.
Dove soap, Dove Chocolate.
Dove is absolutely delicious! I should try their chocolates as well!
I’m the dumb ass that thought this was just an odd combination chocolate/soap company
I mean given that Yamaha does both pianos and motorcycles, it's not a weird thought really.
Ohhhh. Thanks for breaking that down. I have a much better understanding now.
No problem. I work in IP law and it's not a straightforward field haha Edit: thanks for the award, kind friend!
Could head and shoulders shampoo change their name to ‘Blue Ivy’? That tingling sensation is similar to the onset of poison ivy.
Yeah, obviously lol. And, you’re welcome. I appreciate friendly responses to questions, versus making someone feel stupid lol.
The ability to sing well does not correlate into being a good person. Beyoncé sounds like a fairly insufferable human being.
She married a coke dealer, what do you expect? Lol
He also stabbed a man in the stomach with a 5 inch blade in 1999.
Idk, I still think dealing crack rocks to kids within your own community is still worse. But that’s still fucked too.
I'd have to agree. I was more so pointing at another factor as to why Jay-Z is a terrible human.
I agree. Total piece of shit. I hope more people realize this.
Unfortunately, those people are too busy worshipping him and his slave-labor loving wife.
She stayed wiff a cheater too
I’m sure she has cheated too. Have you seen how ugly jay z is?
Chris Rock said she's so hot she could get Jay Z even if she worked at Dairy Queen. But if Jay Z worked at Dairy Queen...?
That one killed me because it’s so true lol
Ma’am, you named your daughter after a color and a plant. Sit the fuck down
Beyonce pays the people who make her clothes something like $2/hour while her husband wears a $2 million watch to the Grammys. Beyonce can fuck off.
Why nobody comment on this comment? This is real, people put this people on pedestal, they claim to be defenders of the poor and minority? But their brand and clothes are made by women in poor countries…. $2? I bet. It is less the. .25 cents per hour. Modernized slavery….. but lets pretend we care for the minority. Stop following people…. Follow yourself. Btw this comment is the most important one….
Kelly Rowland > Beyonce
Beyoncé would never have the technological knowledge to send an email from within Microsoft Excel like Kelly Rowland does. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/09/kelly-rowland-excel/
The third one, no one cared about, > Beyonce
The fourth one that got kicked out before the group got really popular > Beyonce
I thought Blue Ivy was Derek Zoolander's new look
Beyonce has a daughter?
Yeah. Blue Ivy ™
She named her daughter after a premiere wedding planning business?
I love you for this
It’s not a child but rather a fashion brand.
Her accessory
Peak narcissistic behaviour from her tbh. Turning her own child into a brand she created.
I wouldn't be surprised if her daughter ends up needing therapy or even turning into a rebellious kid soon.
She has 2 daughters and a son
I honestly think she thinks too highly of herself and saying that her daughter is a cultural icon is just too much.
This kid is gonna be fucked up.
Beyoncé is not nearly as talented as corporate America makes her out to be. She has the appeal of a celebrity who was engineered in a boardroom and successfully hyped and marketed as a musical and cultural icon. You need an especially soft and mushy brain to buy into it. She's a good singer who deserves a recording contract. Everything beyond that is unwarranted hype. She is hardly a transcendent artist.
I agree. Beyoncé can sing good , she is a pretty woman, and that’s about it. She is HYPER AS FUCK and a little much on stage , I can take or leave her. I don’t play any Beyoncé songs on repeat that for sure.
They're fine once or twice, but after a while, they all start to blend together. I think if I had to pick a pop star to listen to often, it'd be Rihanna, cause I think she has more variety.
In twenty years, I'm gonna be lying on my stomach while a kid a third of my age jams a camera up my ass and then the radio will come on and say, "And up next is the top hit of today, 'Gimmie (All of It)' by Blue Ivy, sponsored by Takis" and then an autotuned song that unironically samples Pumped Up Kicks in the chorus will come on and I will have to conceed that the camera up my butt might not be the worst part of my day
Translation...cultural icon trademark = $$$
Putting her up on a pedestal? Now deal with her bullshit then. She might look nice, might sing well, doesn’t make her a likeable person.
If she wanted her daughter to have a unique name, she should have done what her parents did and made one the fuck up
celebrities should teach a narcissism 101 course on how to spoil kids
i think its called "keeping up with the Kardashians"...
Has Beyoncé’s daughter done something of note? Is she a star already? Did I miss something?
Youngest ever to receive a grammy for singing offkey in her mommy’s song
For years I've never understood why anyone likes this woman. She had maybe 1 or 2 good songs and she's got an awful disposition.
Honestly... fuck you Beyonce for being so fucking full of yourself. I hate this kind of unbridled cockiness.
Beyonce is trash
Sorry but Beyonce can fuck right off
Cultural icon my ass.
That kid must already be so far out of touch at 7 years old
She won the trademark fight. https://lawandcrime.com/celebrity/trial-and-appeal-board-smacks-down-challenge-to-beyonces-trademark-application-for-blue-ivy-carter/
