Jay-Z and Beyoncé supported their daughter Blue Ivy at the “Mufasa: The Lion King” premiere on Monday. Blue Ivy provides voiceover work in the movie.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s surprise appearance came amid shocking child assault allegations made against Jay-Z on Sunday.
The rapper (born Shawn Carter) was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl alongside rap mogul Sean Combs in a civil lawsuit that was amended on Sunday.
In the amended lawsuit, the woman, identified as “Jane Doe,” said the billionaire music mogul and jailed rapper Sean Combs drugged and assaulted her during a house party after the MTV VMAs in 2000. Doe said she was only 13 years old at the time.
Jane Doe stated a woman was in the room watching the assault take place. The mystery woman was identified in the complaint as “Celebrity B.”
Sources say Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s surprise appearance at Monday’s premiere was “unannounced”. Their hasty decision to appear at the red carpet premiere came at the last minute amid the shocking allegations against Jay-Z.
Blue Ivy wore one of her mom’s designer gowns since there wasn’t enough time to make a dress for her.
X (Twitter) users complained that the revealing dress was inappropriate for a 12-year-old girl.

Blue Ivy’s dress at the #Mufasa premiere is wildly inappropriate for a 12-year-old. Styled like she’s launching an OnlyFans career? @Disney, are you enabling this? Did Jay-Z pick it out? Giving JonBenét Ramsey 2024. #BlueIvy #JayZ #Beyonce pic.twitter.com/PjK7JmiYuO

Beyoncé’s body language on the red carpet was a red flag. The gap between Bey and Jay was large enough to drive a Cybertruck through. Her body language suggested she was only there to support her daughter.

Beyonce’s mom Tina Knowles also attended the premiere to show unity with the Carters after she stunned Instagram users earlier in the day by ‘liking’ a post about the assault allegations.
The Instagram post ‘liked’ by Knowles read: “Breaking News: Jay-Z, Diddy Named in Lawsuit Alleging R*pe of Girl, 13.”
Fans speculated that Tina Knowles ‘liked’ the post because she is relieved that the world finally knows the truth about her son-in-law.
But Knowles, 70, denied liking the Instagram post. She claimed her account was “hacked.” The hackers only ‘liked’ one post and left the rest of her page untouched.
“I was Hacked !” Knowles wrote on Instagram. “As you all know I do not play about my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me . Just know that it is not me !”
On Monday evening, she deleted her ‘like’ from the post and disabled the comment section.
Beyoncé married Jay-Z in 2008, and the couple share daughter Blue Ivy and 7-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.
Beyoncé was just a child when she met Jay-Z in a recording studio in 1996. She was 16 and he was 28 when they began dating in 1997, allegedly.
Their significant age difference caused problems for Jay-Z. He often fumbled his answer when asked about when they met.
