Beyonce Baby: Jay-Z Reveals Previous Pregnancy Before Blue Ivy

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Before Beyonce gave birth to her baby Blue Ivy Carter she suffered a miscarriage. Beyonce pregnant news took hold of the public in August of 2011 when the glowing ‘Love on Top’ singer dropped her mic and rubbed her baby bump. What many did not know then was her glow and her husband’s admirable excitement was a reflection of a long journey.

Beyonce delivered Blue Ivy Carter on Saturday night and on Monday Jay-Z released ‘Glory’. In the heartfelt rap, Jay-Z tells the story of how his “greatest creation” came to being. He talks about the pain of suffering through a false start with Beyonce’s pregnancy and now basking in the glory of his daughter. See sample lyrics of ‘Glory’ below:

You don’t yet know what swagga is but you was made in Paris

Yo mama woke up the next day and shot her album package

Last time the miscarriage was so tragic we was afraid you’d disappear

But nah baby you’re magic.
So there you have it. Sh*t happens
Just make sure the plane you on is bigger than your carry-on baggage

Everybody goes through stuff.
Life is a gift love open it up

You’re a child of destiny, you’re the child of my destiny
You’re my child with a child from child of Destiny’s Child

That’s a hell of a recipe…. Glory Glory Glory”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
