JAY Z VOWS TO NO LONGER USE THE WORD "BITCH" AFTER THE BIRTH OF HIS DAUGHTER
Stop the presses, following the birth of his daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, with superstar wife Beyoncé, Jay-Z vowed that he will no longer say the word bitch.
In a poem obtained by NME magazine, Jigga wrote, ”Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich/I didn’t think hard about using the word bitch/I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it/Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it/No man will degrade her, or call her name/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.”
While XXL applauds Hov and Bey for becoming proud, responsible parents, the staff is on the fence about Jay’s decision to stop using the “b-word,” especially since Jay has such a celebrated history with the derogatory term. But like anything in life, one must accept and move on. But before fans can digest this sad news, let’s take a look back at Shawn Carter’s best lines about bitches. Here’s to the good times.
