During a lengthy interview with Gayle King for CBS Mornings, Jay-Z talked a little about the family he created with his wife, Beyonce.
The 53-year-old rapper revealed that he and Beyonce originally had a different name picked out for their 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
It was supposed to be Brooklyn. We was calling her Blueberry. Like, ‘Look at the little blueberry.’ You know, it was like a nickname. It was just natural. We just took the berry off and called her Blue.
As some of you may know, Jay-Z is from Brooklyn, so for him to change her name from Brooklyn to Blue must have been a pretty big deal.
In addition to Blue Ivy, Bey and Jay also have 6-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.
Elsewhere in the interview, Jay-Z admitted that Blue Ivy has finally started to accept the fact that her father is cool…
She used to be frontin’ on me a little bit. But [now] I catch her. I catch her in the corner, you know? Now she asks me, you know, if this is cool, if her sneakers [are cool]. She wants my advice now.
Yeah, enjoy it now because in a few years she’ll be a teenager and will likely go back to thinking you’re super lame.
