Rapper Jay-Z has vowed to stop using the word 'b***h' after the birth of daughter Blue Ivy.
In a poem dedicated to his newborn baby girl Blue Ivy Carter, Jay-Z wrote" 'Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich, I didn't think hard about using the word b***h,
'I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it. Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it.'
The poem was released a week after the release of Glory, a song which featured baby Blue's first sounds and earned her a spot in Billboard chart history.
'No man will degrade her, or call her names,' Jay-Z continues in his poem.
'I'm so focused on your future, the degradation has passed. I wish you wealth, health and insight. Forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel.'
Hope others learn from him.

That's great, but really! What about the woman he married? He didn't mind referring to her as a bitch?
Hmm.. double standards perhaps Jay Z?
REALLY??? He didn't mind using the "B" word referencing other women throughout his career. Now that he has a daughter the "B" word is looked down upon by him. Such hypocritical thinking! I hope others learn from him BEFORE they have children that this word is never okay.
There have been so many crazy rumors and stories surrounding them and their baby.
It took the birth of his daughter to realize this? I guess his own mother and his woman B are not 'worth' the change. He needs to stick to what he does best-rap. Now he's a moral leader. BS I say.
That says a lot about him. He is quite prepared to pollute our children's ears for years, but as soon as he has a child he will stop. Yeah , right!lol

I agree that it would have been best had he stopped with the name calling years ago, but as I've seen in the past 8 months, no one teaches you how to grow up faster than a child. At 25, I thought I knew everything, my daughter teaches me everyday that sometimes I know nothing. Kudos to him for deciding to stop. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single stop."
