It’s interesting how posters express “concern” about Blue Ivy’s upbringing without acknowledging the context or underlying biases. Blue is 13 years old and happens to be the daughter of two world-famous entertainers. Of course, her life is going to look different from the average teen’s — just like it does for any child of celebrities. That doesn’t mean she’s being deprived of a "normal" childhood, it just means her normal is different. Let’s not forget Beyoncé is known to be incredibly private and intentional when it comes to her children. From what’s publicly known, Blue is involved in school, dance, and other age-appropriate activities.
Also, let’s be honest: Black children are regularly adultified. What Blue Ivy is doing — dancing on stage with her mother — is not harmful or inappropriate. She’s being celebrated by her family, cheered on by audiences, and seems genuinely joyful. I see no problem?
Her dance moves aren’t sexualized, and she is fairly covered up. I think the dancing was done tastefully and they toned it down from the original Deju Vu music video dance moves.
Her dance moves are very much sexualized for a young teen who just turned 13.
If a 13-year-old dancing modestly feels ‘sexualized’ to you, that might be more about your lens than her performance.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Those are not "her own backup dancers;" those are Beyoncé's dancers.

You're right — Blue Ivy’s performance was tasteful and age-appropriate. Beyoncé’s original Déjà Vu video was more sensual, but the choreography was clearly toned down for Blue. She was modestly dressed, confident, and clearly enjoying herself. Again, I don't see the problem.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Those are not "her own backup dancers;" those are Beyoncé's dancers.

You would think with everything Beyoncé knows about the industry, that she wouldn’t want her 13 year old front and center. I feel like it is so rare for teens in this high profile roles and in the music industry to ever turn out well as adults.

I think that she knows that the kids most at risk of being exploited are the no-names with show parents willing to do anything for a "big break", not independently famous and wealthy nepo babies.
Blu Ivy is protected by her parents and wealth. She doesn’t need to strive or sell her soul to get a leg up.
Her parents are selling her soul. They have trademarks with her name for video games, shampoo, books, etc.
