Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, has been in the public eye since birth, often drawing attention not only for her iconic parents but also for the controversies and criticism surrounding her. From a young age, Blue Ivy became a target of online criticism, particularly for her natural hair. In 2014, a petition titled “Comb Blue Ivy’s Hair” emerged, calling for her parents to style her hair differently. The petition sparked outrage, with many defending Blue Ivy and calling out the unnecessary policing of a child’s natural hair and the deeper issues of respectability politics and anti-Blackness.
