Jay-Z's Daughter Has A Strikingly Similar Name To His Rumored Ex

It’s unlikely that Blue Ivy was named in tribute to Blu Cantrell, as there’s uncertainty as to whether Jay-Z Carter and Cantrell even dated in the first place. “Me and Jay-Z were said to have been dating, it was major press. I have to say to you, that we weren’t,” Cantrell dished to The Guardian in 2003. “It seems people are saying, ‘[Beyoncé Carter] took him away from you,’ but that’s not true because there was nothing to take. [Jay-Z and I] were just friends.” Twitter account @Jay-ZDaily appeared to corroborate Cantrell’s version of things, writing in 2020, “Blu Cantrell and Jay-Z were never a thing. She had a crush on him though, and said she wouldn’t turn him down.”

During an appearance with talk show host Wendy Williams, Williams alluded to the intimate nature of the relationship between Cantrell and Jay-Z. Cantrell played it coy, though she reiterated her feelings for the “Run This Town” singer. “I still have a crush on him now,” she dished. “I don’t care who he’s dating, I always had a crush on him.” Given Cantrell aired her love for Jay-Z, it didn’t endear her to Beyoncé, and the media was quick to report on a potential feud between the two ladies. In response to Bey’s lyrics that she’d been “hurt by a Pisces” (Cantrell’s sign), Cantrell branded her “immature” via The Guardian. With all this beef, it doesn’t make sense that Bey would consent to name her first-born daughter after Cantrell.
