President Obama's Parenting Advice to Jay-Z Did Not Include Advice to Stop Using the B-word

During an interview with Cleveland's Z107.9, President Obama commented on his relationship with Jay-Z and Beyonce. 


President Obama gave Jay-Z some fatherly advice because they both have young daughters. The President encouraged the new father to take an active role in the life of his daughter. He told Z107.9, "I made sure that Jay-Z was helping Beyonce out [with the baby], and not leaving it all with Beyonce and the mother-in-law."


But the President failed to encourage Jay-Z to refrain from referring to women as the b-word. After the birth of Jay-Z's daughter, Blue Ivy, a fake began to circulate online where it seemed Jay-Z vowed to stop using the b-word out of respect for his new daughter and all women. However, Jay-Z addressed the poem and declared his intent to keep degrading women.

SBW was not impressed with his response and penned an open letter to Jay-Z imploring him to honor his daughter with a change in vocabulary.
