From all indications, Blue Ivy Carter has always been an extremely bright child. For the first five-and-a-half years of her life, she was an only child surrounded by adults. Those kinds of kids grow up fast (I know because I was one). She’s only eight years old and she already records music with her mom and dad, she already has writing credits and she is, by all accounts, a very good student. But did you know that Blue Ivy is a little scientist who runs experiments in her mansion? I love her so hard.

Einstein WHO. Blue Ivy Curie!! Everyone loved this, even if some of us have seen other people do it before. It’s still great that little kids feel free to do these kinds of DIY experiments at home. Beyonce and Jay-Z are exactly the kinds of parents who encourage and praise Blue for this kind of thing, as it should be. I hope they’ve already built her a laboratory.
Meanwhile, Beyonce did a video for the Together At Home Global Citizen special. Her message was for the essential workers and the African-American community, saying:
“Tonight we celebrate true heroes. Those who are making the ultimate sacrifice to keep us all safe, fed and healthy. To the doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers who are away from their families to take care of ours, we continue to pray for your safety…. To those in the food industry, delivery workers, mail carriers and sanitation employees, who are working so we can be safe in our homes, we thank you for your selfless service.’
‘Black Americans disproportionately belong to these essential parts of the workforce that do not have the luxury of working from home. African-American communities at large have been severely affected in this crisis. ‘Those with pre-existing conditions are at an even higher risk. This virus is killing black people at an alarmingly high rate here in America. A recent report in my home city, Houston, Texas, showed that of Covid-19 deaths within Houston city limits, 57 percent of fatal cases are African-American. Please protect yourselves. We are one family and we need you, we need your voices and your abilities and your strength all over this world. I know it’s very hard but please be patient, stay encouraged, keep the faith, stay positive and continue to pray for our heroes. Good night, and God bless you.’
Word. When all of this is over, there will be studies done about how disportionately the virus hit the African-American community and all of the factors that went into that. It’s awful.

Just love the way they are raising their daughter. Sweet little girl!
Do you? Seeing her being carted around to awards shows and dressed up in clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars seems like a strange childhood.
I’m actually really glad to see this PSA as I think it’s the most normal thing I’ve ever seen this child do. If she does want to be Blue Ivy Curie, that would be amazing! I just hope that’s enough for her parents who seem pretty keen to push her into the spotlight.
Blue Ivy is not being ‘carted’ to award shows; she’s not an object. She’s a little girl attending shows with her parents where they are either nominated, performing, and/or patrons. The main picture of this story is her with her mother, Beyonce, at the premiere of the animated film The Lion King. Her mother voiced one of the characters in the movie and produced the soundtrack. Many actors bring their children to the premieres of animated films in which they voice characters.
Also: If it is inappropriate for her parents to attend these events in Gap Jeans, or Draper James, and Zara summer dresses, then it is inappropriate for Blue Ivy to wear the equivalent. Is growing up rich really such a strange childhood? Or is it only strange when the child is a black girl?
She was being “carted” around with her parents like millions of parents do with their kids. Next she wears expensive clothes to special occasions because her parents can afford them. Any parents who can afford nice things for their children will do that. I’ve seen her dressed like other children several times on the internet, I don’t know them. The important thing is, her parents supports lots of injustice causes in the world. It’s their money, be happy to know they are helping when others don’t. Please leave the child alone.
I read that as Carter-d.
I haven’t had caffeine yet.
I’ll leave now.
Blue is a great kid
Awwww. Blue seems like such a great kid.
Love Bey’s message too.
The pepper in water and drop dish soap in was one of my favorite “magic tricks” as a kid.
Yeah that’s a great one! But this is blue Ivy, nothing of what you’ve done before can equal what she does…
🤭😬
Same, and we did experiments about water tension with my kids, who are younger than Blue, last year, It is cute and healthy but I don’t understand how this makes her some epic genius.
So because this is Blue Ivy, daughter of Queen Beyonce, we should say she is a bright child? Tons of children have done that very same science project all over the world before blue ivy…
I’m getting more and more annoyed by this celebration of young celebrities’ kids…especially when it comes to Blue… Don’t get me wrong, this science project is really cool and I love the fact that an eight-year old is doing it but I cannot help but wonder… what if Duchess Kate’s children had done the same project… Would the article be as “praiseful”???
Marion, don’t get annoyed just skip this thread and go to something that you enjoy. I think she is a well mannered child, cute as a button so I clicked on. Nice light story. I get annoyed when is see “don the con” on tv. As soon as he appears I change the channel cannot watch the lies and misinformation.
Yeah, it would have and Kathy Keen would be getting mother of the year from the British press

I am with you Marion. Blue Ivy is annoying, but probably because I cannot stand her parents.
FFS she’s 8!! WTF is wrong with you people????? If you don’t like her parents don’t pass that to A CHILD!!!! It must be so gratifying to dunk on a child!!!
@Bluesky: Agreed. Even though this is pretty tame compared to how comments about Blue Ivy have gotten here and elsewhere in the past, you’re right. We really need to rethink the way minors are discussed by adults online on both sides. I say both sides because adult liberals and feminists can be just as gross as conservatives when it comes to the crap they say about and things they project onto little/young girls (and boys). Whether they’re related to other public figures people don’t like, whether it’s a one-sided feud grown-ass women and men start with teenagers they perceive as unchaste/fast and can’t let go of, or whether they’re the girlfriend/boyfriend of someone. A friend emailed me a link to some things a group of people were saying about some other kid a few weeks ago and it was pretty awful.
I agree with everyone calling for civility and kindness when it comes to *children*. I get that this is a gossip site, and the word “bitch” is in the title, and blah blah blah…the line needs to be drawn at *actual* elementary school students. If Blue Ivy had filmed herself setting fires and stealing cars, the issue would *still* be with the parents because she s EIGHT.
Imagine being eight. Imagine being eight and having grown people write in public forms about how annoying you are for existing. Imagine being eight, and grown people deciding to comment on your voice, face, body, skin color, and hair like you’re an adult who asked their unfiltered opinion. Now imagine those adults hate you and give heir unfiltered opinion. It’s *bizarre*, and we need to do better. If you don’t like her, ask yourself who hurt you so badly that you can’t see a baby when you look at a *baby*. What is there to not like about a child you have never met who has never hurt you?
You find an 8 year old whom you’ve never met annoying? Seriously?
I love how it looks like she’s in her pajamas still. Or some kind of super comfy pink loungewear with bare feet. And her voice! I’ve never heard it before and it’s so sweet. You sometimes forget that she really is just a little girl with a little girl voice and pink pajamas and bare feet. I showed this video to my 13 year old son and he immediately needed to try it out himself.
This is the best!!!!!!! Such a sweet video!!! Love it!!! 😍😍😍
Why are people so mad in the comments? Is it projection because you hate Beyoncé? I see a precocious little girl that is being encouraged to fully explore who she is regardless of money. It’s a beautiful lesson. I wish I had that growing up.
I think Blue comes off as charming and bright in this video. Imagine if some kid from the Kardashian/Real Housewife/Instagram Influencer universe did it. They’d be blinged out in labels and the point would not be to educate people but to show off their parents’ wealth.
It’s a cute video. People getting worked up over a child doing an experiment and posting it are ridiculous.
Woah some people really have an issue with cute kids doing cute things. Anyway love to hear Blue’s voice with the little mix of California and Texas. Just adorable!
She looks like the perfect mix of Solange and JAyZ, nothing of Bey’s! Selective genes 🙂 Adorable kid
Neil degrasse Tyson has 24 hours to respond!
Lol i love this kid..
Jay and Bey seem to be great parents
Blue Ivy’s cute. I saw the same DIY video a month ago. She must have seen it too
If y’all are interested in girls with their own science labs, have any of you read the Flavia de Luce books? She has her own chem lab! I love those books.
I have not, and thank you for the suggestion!
The comments coming after an eight year old child who happens to have famous parents show me that people are addicted to outrage. I guess people would have preferred her doing a tour of her closet?? I see celebrities posting pictures of their kids all the time, you know, being kids but something about when Blue Ivy doing something that a lot of kids do gets grown ass people in their feelings. I guarantee you if Duchess Kate had posted one of her kids doing this, the response would be much different.
ive been wondering who all these non-handwashers are. ive washed my hands my whole life, tyvm.
Aww I thought it was lovely, she seems like a very sweet girl.
the video is cute and she seems smart. I’m not going to base that off her having writing credits though as that doesn’t mean much when you’re mum is Beyonce and can choose to have you credited whenever she wants.
people are selling fake sanitizers in some local markets here in Zimbabwe lol
