BET producer suspended over joke made about Blue Ivy


You can't diss the child of a couple this powerful and still expect your job, especially in the entertainment industry, to be retained.


Executives at BET have, according to reports, suspended a producer involved in a 'joke' about Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter.  The comment was made during music video countdown show "106 & Park."

During a segment on Monday's BET show about Blue's hypothetical thoughts at the event she attended with her parent where she and JayZ joined Beyonce on stage, guest host Karrueche Tran said: "I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my hair.”

Tran, who is Chris Brown's on/again, off/again girlfriend, did not write the joke and she had to explain this on Twitter cause fans where she wing her up, she said "Now y’all know I LOVE me some Beyonce and Blue Ivy!"

BET's president of music programming and specials, Stephen Hill,  apologized on the social media website, writing: "Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child."

Hill also said the network privately apologized to Beyonce and Jay Z.

On a real though, this child's hair needs some serious attention.
