The world rejoiced when new parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcomed their new daughter Blue Ivy Carter. But explosive new allegations of preferential treatment for this important couple threatens to shake America to its foundations.
It is alleged that Beyoncé and Jay-Z placed private security in the maternity ward and that this security in effect “locked down” the natal intensive care unit preventing parents who aren’t as important as Beyoncé and Jay-Z from seeing their new children. Said one person who was affected:
They just used the hospital like it was their own and nobody else mattered. They locked us into the NICU and would say, “You can’t come out into the hallway for the next 20 minutes. These are parents going through very stressful times. To have the circus roll into town, having to deal with all this drama because someone is a superstar isn’t fair.
Defending the actions of his wife and himself, Jay-Z issued this statement:
First off, I’d like to thank all our fans for the good wishes they have given us on the birth of our lovely daughter. It is comforting to have so many little people praying for us.
Now as for the allegations. Yes, we did hire extra security during our stay in the hospital. This is only normal. When you are important like we are people try to take advantage of you. So yes, we “locked down” the NICU. How are we to know that some father who is visiting the ward and crying because his child was born premature isn’t using that as an excuse to take a picture of us and sell it to the tabloids? Little people sometimes do this. And yes, one of my security guards did rough up a new father but that is only because this man turned his back on my guard. And when you turn your back on my employee you turn your back on me, Jay-Z. And when you turn your back on Jay-Z you commit lese-majesté, which obviously cannot be tolerated in our Republic. I mean, the guy who was beat up – has he ever met President Obama? Has he sat in the oval office? No? I thought not. That is all my subjects.
A spokesman for Lenox Hill Hospital where the power couple stayed said that it “is not unusual” to use extra security when dealing with celebrities.
“I mean, come on, if poor people want preferential treatment let them play basketball or rap.”
As for the unlucky man who was beaten by Jay-Z’s security he is a different, humbled man who has learned his lesson.
“I have to be more respectful to my superiors. Sure my child died when the NICU was locked down and I didn’t get a chance to see her but it’s not like she was Beyoncé’s kid so it doesn’t really matter.”

That was just satire right, they didn’t really do that did they?
MK: Part satire. Part, unfortunately truth. The two of them did hire security, blacked out windows and security cameras and prevented people from seeing their kids.
Everyone is denying this of course. Must be the sizable donation Jay-Z made to the hospital.
Hova and Beyonce should’ve had their baby at the 40/40 club.
That sucks, those elitists. I can understand keeping out the paparazzi, but not the other people there to have their own kids.
