Jay-Z is finally a ‘cool dad,’ according to his daughter Blue Ivy.
The legendary rapper, 53, revealed how his status with his 11-year-old daughter – whom he shares with Beyonce – has recently been upgraded during a hilarious preview of his interview with Gaye King on Wednesday.
The couple’s eldest child used to be a bit embarrassed by her parents, like any young whippersnapper, going so far as to infamously shush her parents in the audience at the 2018 Grammy Awards.
With her fashionista status practically bestowed upon her at birth, and stealing the spotlight on stage at Beyonce’s recent Renaissance Tour, it also appeared Blue’s stardom superseded her own parents’ fame.
But now it looks like Blue has turned a corner and finds her mom and pops ‘cool’ enough to ask them for their advice, according to the ‘Empire State of Mind’ hitmaker.
‘She used to be frontin’ on me a little bit,’ Jay-Z explained to Gayle with a huge smile. ‘But [now] I catch her. I catch her in the corner, you know? Now she asks me if this is cool, if her sneakers [are cool].’
Gayle chimed in to clarify, ‘She wants your advice?’ to which Jay-Z responded, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’
‘There was a time where she was like, “Daaaaad”,’ he continued, doing an impression of Blue covering her face in embarrassment.
‘I’m cool. I don’t know what you sayin’,’ he hilariously recalled telling Blue. ‘I’m cool! You got cool parents! At your house, your parents are cool.’
Often seen in stylish outfits at public events and award shows alongside Jay-Z and Beyonce, Blue has become one of the most popular fashionistas around.
In 2018, at the tender age of six, she also became the youngest person to ever appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her feature on ‘Brown Skin Girl.’
Earlier this month, Blue’s grandmother revealed another talent of the superstar-in-the-making.
While gushing about her granddaughter to her Instagram followers, Tina Knowles revealed the preteen is an incredible makeup artist.
‘I’m here with the makeup guru. Makeup extraordinaire, Miss Blue Ivy Carter,’ Tina said in an Instagram video. ‘I really like it.’
Blue took all her talents on the road with her mom’s Renaissance Tour over the summer.
She could be seen dancing flawlessly right by Beyonce’s side, proving she nailed the difficult choreography. And she rocked the amazing outfits just as well.
Following her eldest daughter’s first performance for a private show in Paris last May, Beyonce gushed about Blue and her performing skills.
‘My beautiful first born, I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama,’ the ‘Formation’ singer captioned an Instagram post. ‘You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel.’
During a previous interview with Vogue, the ‘Partition’ singer gushed that her eldest daughter ‘is very smart’ and later explained, ‘When I tell her I’m proud of her, she tells me that she’s proud of me and that I’m doing a good job.’
‘It’s too much sweetness. She melts my heart. I believe the best way to teach them is to be the example,’ she added, referencing all of her children.
The couple’s twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, arrived on June 13, 2017.
