During a recent “106 And Park” appearance, Karrueche Tran made a distasteful joke about Blue Ivy’s hair, which many took offense to. The joke came during a segment where the hosts highlighted the top six things Blue Ivy thought about at the MTV VMAs.
“I really did wake up like this because my parents never comb my hair,” Karrueche said.
“Sorry Blue! I love you!” she added.
In no time, the Bey Hive and Black Twitter began chiming in about the comment.
How Karrueche gonna throw shade at a toddler? You got nice hair and still get cheated on every 3 weeks.

the fact that Blue Ivy has more talent in her pull-up than @karrueche speaks volumes…& the @BET writer needs to be held accountable too — Yesha (@YeshaCallahan) August 26, 2014
Karrueche eventually took to Twitter to defend herself and to confirm what most folks already assumed: the joke was included in the script by BET’s writers.
Now y’all know I LOVE me some Beyoncé and Blue Ivy! I didn’t write this script y’all lol

The clarification helped her case, but not much.
Karrueche is a verified idiot though. We already knew this.

Both BET & Karrueche are wrong for coming at Blue. How is a BLACK network making fun of a BLACK child for wearing her hair the way it grows?

Do you think BET set Karrueche up for the okey doke or should she have skipped over the joke?
