The 9 O'Clock News - Jay-Z bans the b word

Jay-Z bans the b word after having a daughter

Jay-Z has vowed to stop using the B word in honour of his new daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Since it’s Jay-Z it’s not just a statement, it’s a poem.

The poem features the lines, “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."

"I never realised while on the fast track that I'd give riddance to the word bitch/To leave her innocence intact/No man will degrade her, or call her name/Forever young you may pass/Blue Ivy Carter, my angel."

We’ve looking forward to hearing the rewording of some of his biggest tracks, ‘I got 99% problems but a badger ain’t one’

    True that imzadi. If scifi fans think their shows are real, does that mean soap fans or fans of reality TV think their shows are real? No.

    As a sci fi fan I have to comment. We don't think its real, or a religion, we think its entertainment. That's it. Just like people who like period dramas or crime dramas, or horrors or anything else, find them entertaining.

    Agreed, Doctor Who isn't that great. I only ever watched the series with David Tennant and it was only because he was in it. I didn't watch it before and I haven't since. Jay-Z is such a talented guy, why is he demeaning himself and making himself look like an arse with these comments and awful, awful lyrics?

    Argh, I need to have a rant! First of all, I'm so glad other people hate Doctor Who, in Ireland it's not very popular and when we moved over to the UK, everyone in the town we moved to thought we were weird for not liking it, so we thought everyone here did! Totally agree about the Jay-Z thing, ok for him to call other people's daughter's "bitches" but how the tables turn when it's his daughter, he needs to shut up with his "poetry" now. AND, Complicated was out in like 2003 or something, I went to see Avril Lavigne in concert in a moment of madness when I was 16/17 and I'm 25 now! Phew!

    Jay-Z is really, really getting on my tits with his preachy nonsense. He isn't the first man to have a child and he won't be the last. Fearne is entitled to her opinion, even if she's wrong. The episodes with the 10th Doctor were amazing haha.

    Does Jay Z have a mother? Is it ok to call her a bitch? So many questions! I'll simplify it for you JZ - none of us like to be called a bitch, OK?
