Karrueche Tran, the girlfriend of singer Chris
Brown, found herself in hot water today, after co-hosting an episode
of BET's "106 & Park." Tran read a joke off a teleprompter written
by BET staff about toddler Blue Ivy, the daughter of singer
Beyonce's and rapper, Jay Z, who the child looks a lot like in many
ways.

BET has apologized, but it does not change the fact
people online (save for Beyonce fans) hold this view. There was even
a petition for Beyonce to comb Blue Ivy's hair (The Internet Slams Jay Z And Beyonce Over Not Combing Daughter Blue
Ivy's Hair Resulting In A Petition Against The Couple).

is constantly unfavorably compared to other celebrity children due
to her parents refusal to groom her hair.
The BET joke was a reflection of many comments on
social networking, stating Blue Ivy's parents don't comb her hair
(see video above). First of all, let's be real, little Blue Ivy
deserves more from her parents regarding hair grooming. Blue Ivy is
not responsible for her grooming. That's her parents job. Blue Ivy
is routinely seen in public looking like she had just been doing
handstands on the carpet. Her hair is not being combed, evidenced by
the fact it is matted and has lint in it.
Solange Knowles' well groomed afro style would be good for
Blue Ivy
This is so unnecessary and opening the poor child up
to unnecessary scrutiny. She is being unfavorably compared to other
celebrity babies and is often the butt of jokes on social
networking. This is Beyonce and Jay Z's fault. Blue Ivy's aunty,
Solange, has a nice, neat, well groomed afro. There's no excuse for
Beyonce and Jay Z to do anything less for Blue Ivy. They can give
Blue Ivy a nice, neat, even little fro, groomed with a little aloe.
