Jay-Z Will Reportedly Stop Using ‘B Word’ Because of Daughter

Less than two weeks after his daughter was born, rapper Jay-Z is reportedly dropping the word “b***h” from his beats – or is he?

According to the British music news website NME.com, the rapper wrote a poem in which he says, “Before I got in the game, made a change and got rich/I didn’t think hard about using the word ‘b***h.’”

The poem continues: “I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it/Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it … no man will degrade her or call her a name.”

But before we start claiming that Hov’s new baby girl has made her daddy all soft, there is already speculation that it’s a fake.

So far there has been no mention of the poem on Jay-Z’s “Life + Times” blog, Twitter feed or Facebook fan page, and while some fans have taken to social media to praise the rapper for dropping the “b word,” others aren’t buying it.

Can the man who wrote the singles “99 Problems,” “B***hes & Sisters,” “Big Pimpin,’” “1-900-Hustler,” “Jigga That N****,” “Pussy,” ” “Is That Yo B***h” really be changing his tune to more baby-friendly lyrics?

Baby Blue has been making headlines since before she was born. As a mere baby bump on Beyonce’s belly, the little girl first became a star after her mother rubbed her stomach during her MTV Video Music Awards performance in August.

Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed their daughter on Jan. 7 inside a suite tricked out like a swank hotel room at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where the couple’s security team reportedly blocked other patients from getting into the maternity ward.

Five days later, Blue Ivy became the youngest person ever to hit the Billboard Top 100 charts, gurgling on her daddy’s new song “Glory featuring B.I.C.” – that’s Blue Ivy Carter.

And Hov isn’t the first rapper to reflect on fatherhood through song.

In 2004, the prince of St. Louis, rapper Nelly, released his song “Die for You,” about his daughter Chanelle in which he says, “dontcha know i’d die for ya/I layd out my life for ya (i would, die for).”

Rapper Eminem has released numerous tracks that refer to his daughter Hailie Jade, including “Hailie’s Song,” “Doe Ray Me,” “My Dads Gone Crazy,” “When I’m Gone,” “Mockingbird” and “’97 Bonnie and Clyde.”

In 1999, Ja Rule wrote a song called “Daddy’s Little Baby” in which he raps, “Degrade yourself never, ’cause I’m teaching you better/Life ain’t all about cheddar, diamonds and leather.”

And who could forget actor Will Smith’s sugary sweet ode to his son Jaden in 1998, “Just the Two of Us,” in which he talks about bringing his son home for the first time.
