Jay-Z raps about birth of daughter with Beyonce
Through a rap verse, Jay-Z has confirmed the birth of "the most beautiful" girl in the world — his newborn daughter.
The song "Glory" made its debut on his social website Life and Times on Monday — two days after he and wife Beyonce gave birth to daughter Blue Ivy.
An official statement from the couple came Monday afternoon, as both said: "We are happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter."
The couple said the baby was delivered naturally and weighed seven pounds. "Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven. ... It was the best experience of both of our lives. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support."
Jay-Z's sweet song, in which he says "you're my child with a child from Destiny's Child," gives more revelations.
In the song, Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, talks about where the child was conceived (in Paris) and even reveals that Beyonce had a miscarriage at one point.
"Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you'd disappear/But nah baby you magic."
The song's refrain is: "The most amazing feeling I feel/Words can't describe what I'm feeling for real/ Maybe I paint the sky blue/My greatest creation was you. You. Glory."
The sound of a baby's cries — perhaps Blue's — ends the song. The song says it features "B.I.C." — Blue's initials.
It's the first child for the power couple, who wed in 2008 in a private ceremony after a years-long courtship. Beyonce announced her pregnancy to the world last August at the MTV Video Music Awards with a simple rub of her swollen belly.
Celebs close to the couple have tweeted congrats. Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles, tweeted Sunday morning: "The most beautiful girl in the world," while Beyonce's close friend Gwyneth Paltrow also tweeted: "Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already."
The couple gave birth at Lenox Hill Hospital on New York's Upper East Side on Saturday. The hospital's executive director, Frank Danza, said in a statement Monday that the hospital was "delighted" to have the couple deliver their child there, but its staff is "troubled by the misinformation being circulated in some news media reports."
The statement shot down reports that the couple paid more than $1 million to rent a floor of the hospital for the birth, and said that the couple was in an executive suite and was "billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family."
One new mother, Rozz Nash-Coulon, told The Associated Press that her twins, born Dec. 28, were in the neonatal unit, and starting Friday, intense security measures made it a struggle to see her own children as guards directed hallway traffic.
"Once they checked in there was high security everywhere. It looked like the president was on our floor. The hospital's security cameras were taped over. Internal windows from the hallways into the ward were blacked out," 38-year-old Nash-Coulon said.
She said she and other parents are trying to mobilize to protest their treatment, which she called "disgusting."
A New York state senator, Eric Adams, said that he has asked the hospital to investigate and take "appropriate action to restore faith in the delivery of quality medical service without socioeconomic status." He said that Neil Coulon, the father, was allegedly denied access to see his children.
But Danza said although Beyonce and Jay-Z had their own security, "the hospital has been and still continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days."
He also added that no security would have prevented a parent from gaining access to the neonatal intensive unit and no family complained to the hospital about it.
"Lenox Hill Hospital takes patient privacy and safety very seriously," he added. "And while we congratulate the Carter family on the birth of their child, we value the loyalty of ALL our patients and always strive to ensure a positive experience, knowing that the birth of a child is a wonderful moment producing memories of a lifetime."

Blue Ivy Carter is a beautiful baby but they act like she is all that because she is Jay & Beyonce baby yes they are good people who achieve great things but they really field out a trademarking sheet for nobody can use the name . You can only use it for baby carriage's and things like that . The song was very nice and I really like Beyonce but every one was dying to see picture of the baby but they are trying to keep everything top secret because they are celebrities . Like all that renting out a 1 million dollar room that was uncalled for you could have just got a room just like any other person , but you had to get a 1 million dollar room . But Blue Ivy Carter is a beautiful baby.
I think this is really cool. Growing up and saying those are her parents, and she even has a song made about her already. She is so lucky!
Blue Ivy is a different name from what i`ve heard, but I like it.
The song about Blue ivy is a great song. It's about how Jay Z really feels about his baby girl. You should really listen to it.
It's a nice rap. I read the rap in a People Magazine. Blue Ivy is so cute. I really like the name. I wonder how they came up with that name, Blue Ivy. It has a nice ring to it. I heard the first time it was a miscarriage. But now it's not. I also saw this in the People Magazine. My Mom doesn't know that I sometimes read her People Magazines.
I'm very happy for him he probably really cares for his wife and his daughter. I hope him and his wife have more kids and they are very thankful to have Blue Ivy.
Jay-z should be proud . It must be hard to be a rapper and have a kid , you could barely see your kid because of being on the road so much , but it still could be fun because if you were the kid you might be able to go on some of those trips .
AWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jay-Z that was so sweet of you! Its nice to see a father write about his daughter instead of the indecent music that's influencing our country today. This article left me smiling i always knew that beyonce and Jay-Z were together but i had no idea how sweet he was! The line where he says: "Your my child with a child from Destiny's Child." was so cute it was so adorable to see jay-z rap about his little girl. Does anyone know why Beyonce and Jay-Z named her Blue Ivy or what it means? i REALLY NEED this clarified. Maybe a smart idea is to come up with a follow article about Blue Ivy's Name her name will have more meaning if we knew what her name meant
- i think that the baby's name is so cute. she is going to be so pretty just like her mother ( Beyonce). the only thing they did wrong was they didnt have to copyright the baby's name. i relly think that that is un called for. i think that jay-z talked bayonce into doing something like that. her name is pretty but it doesnt have to be copyrighted.
I think its great that Jay-z did a song for his daughter. Many others will do the same but ,his is more one of a kind .Blue Ivy is a beautiful baby and , for Beyonce and Jay-z to have their first baby it must be a blessing. They must be really happy together and trying to make a happy family.Anyone would be greatful to have a kid and make them have good role models helping them along their way as they grow.hopefully they are really happy.
It's interesting that Jay-z made such a awesome song for his baby girl. Little miss Blue ivy Carter she is the cutest little bundle of joy I've every seen she is so pretty. I hope that she will be just like her parents she will be a perfect young lady. Jay-z is the perfect dad for this little girl. I hope when shes older she will be able to see what her dad has done for her.
