Two journalists are facing backlash after making derogatory comments about Blue Ivy Carter.
Both Vanity Fair and Harper’s are off to a rocky start this year after two reporters from the magazines were accused of “mocking” 7-year-old Blue Ivy Carter in a new picture.
In the wake of the comments, many came out in defense of Blue Ivy, including author and activist Mikki Kendall. In a Twitter thread Thursday, Kendall called out the “impact” that words can have and suggested that mocking kids is always too far. “There's nothing harmless about insulting a child's features regardless of whether that child has famous parents or not,” Kendall wrote.
— ❄Mikki Kendall❄ January 1, 2020 Beyoncé herself has been known to reject such criticisms, highlighting the fact that negative critiques of Jay-Z’s looks often center on his most Afrocentric features. In 2016’s “Formation,” Beyoncé sang a bar referencing it: “I like my baby’s hair, with baby hair and afros. I like my negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils.”
