There’s a new rumor swirling online, and this one is a jaw-dropper.
The latest internet gossip claims that 12-year-old Blue Ivy Carter, daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, is allegedly pregnant by rapper Nelly’s adult son, Cornell Haynes III.
Yes, you read that correctly—Blue Ivy, still very much a pre-teen, has found herself at the center of outrageous pregnancy rumors.
Things have escalated to the point where some reports allege that Cornell went missing after Jay-Z found out about Blue Ivy’s alleged pregnancy.
But let’s set the record straight—none of these claims are true. We at BCK Online can confidently debunk these rumors as nothing more than baseless internet chatter.
Blue is not pregnant and Cornell Haynes III, who goes by “Tre” or “Trizzle” on Instagram, is neither missing nor in any legal trouble. These rumors are simply the product of a wild internet imagination.
Amid these wild rumors, Blue Ivy’s grandmother, Tina Knowles, has issued a stern warning to those who spread false stories about her grandchildren.
While 70-year-old matriarch often takes rumors of her daughters “with a grain of salt” she draws a firm line when it comes to her grandchildren.
“I take it with a grain of salt most of the time,” Tina said in an interview for Glamour’s Women of the Year issue. “It depends. You mess with my grandchildren, though, I’m coming. Because they’re minors, and they didn’t ask to be in this.”
Tina, who is mother to superstar singers Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, is a grandmother to four—Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Sir and Rumi Carter, 7, through Beyoncé, and 19-year-old Daniel Julez Smith Jr., Solange’s son with her ex-husband, Daniel Smith.
As for Nelly’s son, Cornell Haynes III—also known as Tre—he remains focused his own life. Born in 1999, he is the second child of Nelly and his former partner, Shantel Jackson. Tre keeps a relatively low profile, though he shares a few glimpses of his life on Instagram, where he goes by the name Trizzle.
